Tudor Wharf Draft Environmental Impact Report EOEA # 674 4 



report shows the traffic and parking 

 impacts of the project based on the

 1,767 trips per day to the area and level 

 of service analysis shows that the 

 project will have little effect on the 

 surrounding area once the CANA project is 

 complete. The intersection of Chelsea 

 Street/Warren Street, which will handle 

 the greatest numbers of Tudor Wharf 

 vehicles, will operate at LOS B/C. At 

 the other intersections, the level of 

 service will not change as a result of 

 the addition of Tudor Wharf traffic. 

 There will be enough parking on site to 

 meet the project demands. Many of the 

 demands of the adjacent marina, if the 

 present marina parking lot is built on

 demand can be met at all times - winter, 

 summer weekends, and weekday evenings, 

 except the summer weekday daytime period.

 Commuter Rail station, the Green Line and 

 the Orange Line. The walking time from 

 North Station to Tudor Wharf is estimated
