Full movement intersection spacing is typically <br />allowed every ¼ to ½ mile. Signal spacing is typically allowed every ½ mile. <br /> <br />In 2012-2013, road and signal improvements were installed at CSAH 34 (Birch Street) <br />and Ware Road consistent with the CSAH 34 Corridor Study and Anoka County <br />Highway Department Access Spacing. These improvements were installed to <br />accommodate traffic from Sprit Hills Center (commercial development), Spirit Hills <br />(current residential development), Shenandoah 3rd Addition (current residential <br />development) and Subject Site (future residential development) <br /> <br />Hokah Drive was reconstructed in 2015. <br /> <br />A Traffic Study was prepared by SRF Consulting Group, Inc. dated May 12, 2016 for the <br />St. Clair Estates development proposal. The development is expected to generate daily <br />27 a.m. peak hour, 36 p.m. peak hour and 334 trips. <br /> <br />Traffic Distribution <br /> <br />Road <br />Existing ADT <br />(Average Daily <br />Traffic) <br />Estimated ADT <br />(2019 Build <br />Conditions) <br />Difference <br />Hokah Drive 250 450 +200 <br />Sioux Lane 600 750 +150 <br />Birch Street 13,600 14,3501 +750 <br />Hodgson Road <br />(north of Birch) 16,600 17,5501 +950
