This memo <br />Impacts to Lois Lane <br />Access to the site was pro <br />the far east end of the site wa <br />was to provide multiple access <br />within the development in the event <br />ry entrance. A secondary access to Lois Lane on <br />'d= The primary intent of creating this second access <br />llow emergency vehicles to gain access to residences <br />ain access should become blocked. <br />As noted in the Preliminary Traffic Impact Assessment, all of the "everyday" traffic generated <br />by the development was assumed to use the primary access on County Road 23. This <br />assumption was made in order to look at a worst -case scenario of operations at the main site <br />access. The results of the analysis showed that even with all site - generated traffic using the main <br />access, the access would operate at an acceptable level of service, with short delays and minimal <br />queuing. <br />Logically, traffic will tend to use the quickest route from its origin to its destination. Most of the <br />time, the quickest route (in terms of time) will also be the shortest route (in terms of distance). <br />However, in some cases, the choice of a longer route will save time. <br />Offices: Hibbing • Minnetonka Ham Lake - Twin Ports <br />(952) 933 -0972 61 10 Blue Circle Drive Suite 100 • Minnetonka, MN 55343 • FAX (952) 933-1153 <br />Equal Opportunity Employer <br />
