Usage of Tibyan Community Center and Traffic Study The Tibyan Community Center experiences its peak traffic times primarily during Friday prayers, which typically is expected to draw around 100 attendees and result in 50-60 vehicles entering the parking lot between 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM. Although this is the busiest period for the center, it occurs outside of typical morning and afternoon rush hours, minimizing its impact on local traffic flow. During the weekdays, the morning educational programs and after-school programs bring moderate traffic, with 15-25 cars for each drop-off and pick-up session. These programs run at staggered times, further reducing any potential congestion. On weekends, the center’s youth programs are split into two shifts, morning and afternoon, with each shift attracting approximately 25-40 vehicles. As a result, the center’s traffic is well-distributed throughout the week, and the carpooling common in youth activities further limits the number of vehicles on the road, ensuring that the overall traffic impact remains low. Below is the break down of programs and also in summary in Table 2 below. Peak Traffic Time: Friday Prayers • Estimated Vehicle Count: 50-60 cars • Attendance: 100 worshippers • Time: 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM (Friday prayer window is typically from 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM) • Impact: o Friday prayers are expected to be the most significant traffic generator for the center. However, since this occurs outside of peak traffic times (morning and afternoon rush hours), the impact on local traffic will be limited. o There are five mosques within a 2-5 mile range that currently operate below full capacity and serve the surrounding area. Given this, and the Tibyan Community Center's multipurpose nature, it is not expected to reach maximum occupancy, with minimal traffic generated by staff and daily programs during Friday prayer times. Weekday Programs: Monday to Friday 1. Morning Educational Program (8:00 AM - 3:00 PM) • Estimated Vehicle Count: 15-25 vehicles • Student Count: 30-50 students • Impact: o Vehicle traffic is expected to occur in two main waves: drop-offs in the morning (8:00 AM) and pick-ups in the afternoon (3:00 PM). o Traffic generation will be light, with only 15-25 vehicles entering and exiting the parking lot, which will not significantly impact the surrounding roadways. 2. After-School Program (4:00 PM - 9:00 PM) • Estimated Vehicle Count: 15-25 vehicles for drop-off and pick-up 67
