13 NorthPoint Industrial Park – Lake Elmo, MN │Traffic Analysis January 2022 The following lists the trip assignment for various development scenarios: • Exhibit 12 – Opening Year (2025) Build Scenarios 1-4 total trip assignment • Exhibit 13 – Opening Year (2025) Build Scenarios 1-4 truc k trip assignment • Exhibit 14 – Horizon Year (2040) Build Scenario 1 total trip assignment • Exhibit 15 – Horizon Year (2040) Build Scenario 1 truck trip assignment • Exhibit 16 – Horizon Year (2040) Build Scenario 2 total trip assignment • Exhibit 17 – Horizon Year (2040) Build Scenario 2 truck trip assignment • Exhibit 18 – Horizon Year (2040) Build Scenario 3 total trip assignment • Exhibit 19 – Horizon Year (2040) Build Scenario 3 truck trip assignment • Exhibit 20 – Horizon Year (2040) Build Scenario 4 total trip assignment • Exhibit 21 – Horizon Year (2040) Build Scenario 4 truck trip assignment 4.6 TOTAL TRAFFIC FORECAST Total traffic volumes were developed from a combination of existing turning movement counts, background growth, adjacent development assignment, and the forecasted site traffic. Exhibit 22 provides the total traffic volumes for Opening Year (2025) Build Scenario s 1-4. Exhibits 23, 24, 25, & 26 provide the total traffic volumes for the Horizon Year (2040) Build Scenario 1, 2, 3, & 4, respectively. 5.0 INTERSECTION CAPACITY ANALYSIS 5.1 ANALYSIS SCENARIOS An intersection capacity analysis was performed at the study intersections to quantify the delay and level of service at the study intersections during the AM and PM peak hours. The capacity analysis was performed using Synchro/SimTraffic traffic models and delays and level of service were evaluated for each of the following scenarios: • Existing Year (2021) • Opening Year (2025) No -Build • Opening Year (2025) Build Scenarios 1-4 • Horizon Year (2040) No -Build • Horizon Year (2040) Build Scenario 1 • Horizon Year (2040) Build Scenario 2 • Horizon Year (2040) Build Scenario 3 • Horizon Year (2040) Build Scenario 4 5.2 LEVEL OF SERVICE OVERVIEW Synchro/SimTraffic were used for the analysis. Level of Service (LOS ) is a quantitative measure used by traffic engineers to describe the operations of an intersection. It ranges from A to F, with A being the best and F being the worst level of operation. LOS A conditions are characterized by minimal vehicle delay and free-f low conditions, while LOS F is characterized by long vehicle delay – usually when demand exceeds available roadway capacity. Although LOS E is defined as at -capacity, LOS D is generally the minimum acceptable level of operation at an intersection. Table 9 provides the LOS grading criteria for unsignalized and signalized intersections.
