Discuss the effect on traffic congestion on affected roads and describe any traffic improvements necessary. The analysis must discuss the project’s impact on the regional transportation system. If the peak hour traffic generated exceeds 250 vehicles or the total daily trips exceeds 2,500, a traffic impact study must be prepared as part of the EAW. Use the format and procedures described in the Minnesota Department of Transportation’s Access Management Manual, Chapter 5 (available at: http://www.dot.state.mn.us/accessmanagement/resources.html) or a similar local guidance. AUAR Guidance: For AUAR reviews, a detailed traffic analysis will be needed, conforming to the MnDOT guidance as listed on the EAW form. The results of the traffic analysis must be used in the response to Items 16 and 17. Scenario 1, 2, 3 and 4 A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was completed in November 2021 based on the projected trip generation of the four proposed scenarios. The results of this study can be found in Appendix C. Based on the detailed findings of the NorthPoint Industrial Park TIA, the area’s transportation network is expected to support redevelopment within the AUAR s tudy area with mitigation. The TIA identified improvements that could be constructed to mitigate possible future traffic impacts associated with development within the AUAR s tudy a rea. Metrics for traffic analysis include intersection delay as measured by Level of Service (LOS) and queue lengths. The traffic analysis report includes intersection capacity analyses for intersections at site access points along Ideal Avenue N & 34th Street N as well as intersection operations within the vicinity of the project (see locations identified on Figure 16). Based on the results of the TIA capacity analysis, a couple intersections operate poorly in Horizon Year (2040) Scenario 2 without mitigation. Table 10 s hows the LOS for the AUAR s tudy a rea intersections in each analysis scenario. The mitigation determined necessary for 2040 No-Build conditions was included in the No Mitigation analysis for all three 2040 Build Scenarios.
