The analysis examined regional and local traffic by focusing on the intersections at both ends of the project corridor. The highest volume of trips on a neighboring road was seen at the Bruce B Downs Gate north of the E. 131 st Avenue intersection and in the southbound direction (Bruce B Downs North Gate Southbound) during the morning peak. Out of the traffic traveling southbound, 84 percent of the trips continued through the Bruce B Downs gate south of the E. 131 st intersection and in the southbound direction (Bruce B Downs South Gate Southbound), while 9 percent of the trips turned right onto the E. 131 st Avenue corridor, passing westbound through the E. 131 st Avenue gate at the eastern end of the corridor (131 st East Gate Westbound). Seventy-six percent (76 percent) of the traffic turning onto E. 131 st Avenue had a destination in the 131 st Avenue zone, while a smaller number traveled to adjacent zones, with no single zone attracting more than 3 percent of the traffic. The high relative volume of traffic ending in the 131 st Avenue zone, coupled with the very small relative volumes heading to other zones indicated that cut- through traffic in this direction was not an issue. See Figures V I-12 and V I-13 for more details.
