Notes:
Trip Generation Estimate ts based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation (70th Edition) Land
Use Codes 760 (Research and Development Center), 220 (Multifamily Low-Rise for Townhouses), and 227 (Multifamily
Mid-Rise for Apartments).
Conclusion
The proposed residential uses are anticipated to result in substantially lower trip generation during the weekday
morning and evening peak hours when compared to the previously proposed research and development buildings.
Perhaps more importantly, the change in land use provides the added benefit of providing more balance to the
directional flow of traffic entering and exiting Nashua Technology Park during the weekday peak hours. Under the
existing conditions, the dominant traffic flow patterns are reflective of an office park with heavy flows entering the site
in the morning and exiting the site in the evening. The residential dominant traffic flow will be in the reverse direction
and will have no notable impact on the internal roadway system at Nashua Technology Park, nor the external impact
on Spit Brook Road at the intersection of Tara Boulevard.
