This study was completed in 2021 and remains statistically valid. It reduced square footage and the inclusion of a hospital are key factors incorporated into the study's methodology and findings. The average daily trip generation at full buildout is 20,745 trips per day. The hospital and medical traffic account for nearly 35% (7,235 trips daily). The daily trip generation numbers will occur over a 20-year timeframe. The development -funded infrastructure will bring improvements to roads, intersections, and multimodal paths will keep apace of project milestones. This project is designed to reroute car traffic from residential areas and onto major corridors like Highway 36 and Northwest Parkway. He shows a graphic of the key moments in time in the trip generation estimates as well as for a hospital and medical building use.

Avista Hospital will have a great impact. The hospital wants new facilities as part of Phase 1. This accelerates the need for safe multi -modal access and development -funded infrastructure investments. The superior placement and access is designed to channel car traffic to major arterials like Highway 36. This is projected to account for nearly 35% (7,200+) of trip generation at full build - out. The hospital's intention is to build a new, state-of-the-art health care facility to continue its award -winning care. Following the Marshall Fire, Avista Hospital has prioritized this location due to its multiple access points. This significantly expands their service capabilities within a 15-minute radius by moving one mile. He summarizes his presentation by reiterating the following points:
