Traffic Impact Study <br />Little Canada Caribou Coffee <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Alliant No. 218-0047.0 13 <br />April 11, 2018 <br />5.0 Site Plan/Access Review <br />A review of the proposed site plan was completed to identify any issues and recommend potential <br />improvements regarding vehicle ingress/egress, internal traffic circulation/drive-through storage, <br />parking layout/supply, and pedestrian/bicycle connectivity. <br />5.1 Vehicle Ingress/Egress <br />Based on the results of the year 2020 intersection capacity analysis, the proposed access is expected <br />to have sufficient capacity as a two-lane driveway (one lane inbound/one lane outbound). <br />However, it should be noted that the proposed access driveway (existing curb cut) is improperly <br />aligned with the opposing southbound Country Drive approach. Figure 8 illustrates the potential <br />safety concern in having outbound (northbound) proposed access driveway traffic lined up on the <br />wrong side of opposing Country Drive (southbound) traffic. To minimize potential safety issues, <br />it is recommended that the proposed access be shifted as far east onsite as possible to better align <br />with the Country Drive approach. This realignment will necessitate relocating a pedestrian <br />push-button and potentially additional traffic signal infrastructure. <br />Figure 8.
