8.1 A large retirement village has a total retail employment of 120. All 1600 of the households in this village consist of two nonworking family members with household income of $20,000. Assuming that shopping and social/recreational trip rates both peak during the same hour (for exposition purposes), predict the total number of peak-hour trips generated by this village using the trip generation models of Examples 8.1 and 8.2. 8.2 Consider the retirement village described in Problem 8.1. Determine the amount of additional retail employment (in the village) necessary to reduce the total predicted number of peak-hour shopping trips to 200.
