<br />21 NorthPoint Industrial Park – Lake Elmo, MN │Traffic Analysis <br />January 2022 <br /> <br />5.6 HORIZON YEAR (2040) NO-BUILD INTERSECTION ANALYSIS <br />The Horizon Year (2040) No -Build Condition analysis was completed to develop an understanding of the <br />baseline operating conditions for the study area in the Horizon Year without the addition of the development <br />traffic. The traffic volumes shown in Exhibit 5 were used in the Horizon Year (2040) No -Build analysis. As <br />previously discussed, these volumes were developed based on turning movement count collected in August <br />2021, traffic projections from the Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan and the Willowbrooke development. <br />Signal timing was optimized at the intersection of 34th Street N & Ideal Avenue N. Signal timings were <br />optimized at the intersection of Ideal Avenue N & 34th Street N. <br />Tables 16 – 17 provide a summary of the average delay (seconds per vehicle) and LOS under Horizon <br />Year (2040) No -Build Conditions for each movement at the study intersections during the AM peak hour <br />and PM peak hour, respectively. The movements that are anticipated to operate at LOS E are shown in <br />yellow and the movements that are anticipated to operate at LOS F are shown in red. The full SimTraffic <br />reports are included in Appendix H. <br />TABLE 16: HORIZON YEAR (2040) NO-BUILD AM LOS SUMMARY <br />Intersection Control Approach <br />Operations by Movement Overall Intersection Left Through Right <br />Delay <br />(sec/veh) LOS Delay <br />(sec/veh) LOS Delay <br />(sec/veh) LOS Delay <br />(sec/veh) LOS <br />Ideal Avenue N & <br />34th Street N Signal <br />EB 25.6 C 17.0 B 3.1 A <br />17.7 B WB 31.8 C 22.3 C 3.1 A <br />NB 17.0 B 12.7 B 5.2 A <br />SB 16.6 B 19.9 B 15.7 B <br />Ideal Avenue N & <br />32nd Street N <br />Side <br />Street <br />Stop <br />EB 9.1 A - - 3.1 A <br />9.1 A WB - - - - - - <br />NB 2.8 A 0.4 A - - <br />SB - - 4.4 A 4.4 A <br />Ideal Avenue N & <br />31st Street N <br />Side <br />Street <br />Stop <br />EB 7.8 A - - 2.9 A <br />7.8 A WB - - - - - - <br />NB 3.2 A 1.7 A - - <br />SB - - 0.5 A 0.4 A <br />Ideal Avenue N & <br />Stillwater <br />Boulevard N <br />All - <br />Way <br />Stop <br />EB 6.0 A 11.7 B 3.2 A <br />7.0 A WB 5.5 A 10.6 B 4.0 A <br />NB 5.7 A 9.3 A 3.1 A <br />SB 6.4 A 9.6 A 2.3 A <br />34th Street N & <br />Jamaca Avenue N <br />Round- <br />about <br />EB 4.0 A 6.7 A 4.1 A <br />6.3 A WB 5.7 A 10.4 B 5.3 A <br />NB 2.8 A 6.3 A 2.1 A <br />SB 3.4 A 6.3 A 1.7 A <br />Ideal Avenue N & <br />36th Street N <br />Side <br />Street <br />Stop <br />EB 8.0 A - - 3.9 A <br />8.0 A WB 7.1 A - - - - <br />NB 3.2 A 1.9 A 1.5 A <br />SB - - 0.9 A 0.2 A <br /> <br />
