3) The project is estimated to generate 279 vehicle trips at peak hour of adjacent street <br />traffic on weekday mornings (7:30 AM to 8:30 AM) and 519 vehicle trips at peak hour of <br />adjacent street traffic on weekday afternoons (4:15 PM to 5:15 PM). See table below for <br />reference. <br />Total New Trips <br />Entering <br />Exiting <br />Weekday AM (AM Peak Hour of Adj Street Traffic) <br />279 <br />107 <br />172 <br />Weekday AM (AM Peak Hour of Generator) <br />408 <br />164 <br />244 <br />Weekday PM (PM Peak Hour of Adj Street Traffic) <br />519 <br />282 <br />237 <br />Weekday PM (PM Peak Hour of Generator) <br />608 <br />344 <br />264 <br />Weekday <br />3790 <br />1895 <br />1 1895 <br />4) Estimates were generated utilizing the ITE Trip Generation Manual (11th Edition). <br />5) Alternative methods of transportation include public transportation via Anoka County's <br />Travel Transit Link, a regional service connecting customers from Lino Lakes to fixed -route <br />transit services. Additionally, trails are proposed as part of the upcoming intersection <br />reconstruction project for the intersections of CSAH J /Ash Street, CSAH 21 / Centerville <br />Road, and CSAH 32 /Ash Street. <br />b. Discuss the effect on traffic congestion on affected roads and describe any traffic improvements <br />necessary. The analysis must discuss the project's impact on the regional transportation system. <br />If the peak hour traffic generated exceeds 250 vehicles or the total daily trips exceeds 2,500, a <br />traffic impact study must be prepared as part of the EAW. Use the format and procedures <br />described in the Minnesota Department of Transportation's Access Management Manual, <br />Chapter 5 (available at: http://www.dot.state.mn.us/accessmanagementlresources.html) or a <br />similar local guidance, <br />The project will result in an increase to local traffic. Recommended improvements to the roadway <br />network have been included within the Traffic Impact Analysis Report, including adding sidewalks or <br />shared use paths to the development roadway network and ensuring highway easements are planned <br />within the development for future roadway realignment. Below, is a summary table showing the <br />difference in delays between the build and no build scenarios for the PM 2045 Design Year. The Traffic <br />Impact Analysis Report is included in Appendix H — Traffic Impact Analysis. <br />Design Year PM Delay (sec) <br />Intersection <br />2045 No Build <br />2045 Build <br />CSAH 21/Centerville Rd & CSAH J/Ash St <br />11.9 <br />17.8 <br />CSAH 21/Centerville Rd & CSAH 32/Ash St <br />9.2 <br />10.2 <br />CSAH 32/Ash St & Monarch Way <br />0.5 <br />1.1 <br />CSAH 32/Ash St & Rapp Farm Blvd <br />0.8 <br />0.7 <br />CSAH 32/Ash St & Holly Drive N <br />1.5 <br />1.5 <br />Wilkinson Lake Blvd & South Access Wilkinson <br />0 <br />2.5 <br />c.
