Ms. Jessica Jagoe, Associate Planner <br />September 4, 2018 <br />Page 19 <br /> <br /> <br />Results of the existing intersection capacity analysis, presented in Table 5, indicate that the <br />I-35E Southbound Ramps/Little Canada Road/Country Drive intersection currently operates at <br />overall LOS C during the AM and PM. peak hours. The southbound Country Drive and <br />Southbound I-35E Exit Ramp approaches both operate in the LOS D to LOS E range during <br />the AM and PM peak hours, though this side-street LOS should not be considered excessive <br />given the atypical geometry and signal phasing of the study intersection. No significant <br />queueing issues were observed in the field or traffic simulation. Detailed operations and <br />queuing analysis results are presented in Appendix A. <br /> <br />Table 5 <br />2018 Existing Intersection Capacity Analysis <br />Intersection Year AM Peak Hour PM Peak Hour <br />LOS* Delay** <br />(seconds) <br />LOS* Delay** <br />(seconds) <br />I-35E Southbound <br />Ramps/ Little Canada <br />Road/ Country Drive <br />2018 C / D to E 30.5 / 79.8 C / D to E 36.6 / 70.0 <br />* Overall Intersection LOS / Worst Approach LOS <br />** Overall Intersection Delay / Worst Approach Delay <br />Source: Biko Associates, Inc. <br /> <br /> <br />Forecast Year 2020 Traffic Operations with Caribou Coffee Store in Place <br /> <br />Alliant Engineering prepared a traffic study in April 2018 for the proposed Caribou Coffee Store <br />that would be located on the southwest corner of the Little Canada Road/Country Drive <br />intersection. In its study, Alliant reported that trip generation for the store would be: <br /> <br /> Daily………………………..1,486 trips <br /> AM Peak Hour: <br />- Inbound………………... 82 trips <br />- Outbound……………... 79 trips <br />- Total……………………..161 trips <br /> PM Peak Hour: <br />- Inbound………………….39 trips <br />- Outbound……………….40 trips <br />- Total……………………. 79 trips <br /> <br />
