<br />27 NorthPoint Industrial Park – Lake Elmo, MN │Traffic Analysis <br />January 2022 <br /> <br />5.8 HORIZON YEAR (2040) BUILD SCENARIO 2 INTERSECTION ANALYSIS <br />The Horizon Year (2040) Build Scenario 2 Condition analysis was completed to develop an understanding <br />of the impact of site traffic on the operating conditions for the study area. The traffic volumes shown in <br />Exhibit 24 were used in the Horizon Year (2040) Build Scenario 2 analysis. As previousl y discussed, these <br />volumes were calculated by adding the Phase 2 of Scenario 2 trips generated by the site to the Horizon <br />Year (2040) No -Build volumes. The same geometry and intersection control was used as in the Horizon <br />Year (2040) No -Build model (the southbound approach at the intersection of Ideal Avenue N & Stillwater <br />Boulevard N was expanded to three approach lanes and signal timing was optimized at the intersection of <br />34th Street N & Ideal Avenue N). All site accesses were modeled as side street stop, with one exiting lane. <br />Site Access 1 was modeled with left and right turn lanes on 34th Street N due to the high speeds along the <br />corridor. <br />Tables 22 – 23 provide a summary of the average delay (seconds per vehicle) and LOS under Horizon <br />Year (2040) Build Scenario 2 Conditions for each movement at the study intersections during the AM & PM <br />peak hours. The movements that are anticipated to operate at LOS E are shown in yellow and the <br />movements that are anticipated to operate at LOS F are shown in red. The full SimTraffic reports are <br />included in Appendix K. <br />TABLE 22: HORIZON YEAR (2040) BUILD SCENARIO 2 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 29.2 C 19.5 B 3.1 A <br />21.1 C WB 35.4 D 23.9 C 4.0 A <br />NB 21.1 C 16.5 B 4.5 A <br />SB 18.8 B 23.3 C 21.7 C <br />Ideal Avenue N & <br />32nd Street N/Site <br />Access 2 <br />Side <br />Street <br />Stop <br />EB 8.4 A - - 3.0 A <br />8.4 A WB - - - - 3.3 A <br />NB 2.7 A 0.4 A 0.4 A <br />SB 6.4 A 5.3 A 4.7 A <br />Ideal Avenue N & <br />31st Street N/Site <br />Access 3 <br />Side <br />Street <br />Stop <br />EB 8.0 A - - 3.5 A <br />8.0 A WB - - - - - - <br />NB 4.3 A 1.7 A 1.3 A <br />SB 2.4 A 0 .7 A 0.4 A <br />Ideal Avenue N & <br />Stillwater <br />Boulevard N <br />All - <br />Way <br />Stop <br />EB 6.3 A 11.2 B 2.4 A <br />6.5 A WB 4.9 A 10.5 B 3.9 A <br />NB 5.8 A 9.5 A 2.9 A <br />SB 5.2 A 7.9 A 2.4 A <br />34th Street N & <br />Jamaca Avenue N <br />Round- <br />about <br />EB 6.2 A 8.0 A 5.5 A <br />7.2 A WB 6.3 A 11.2 B 6.8 A <br />NB 2.5 A 5.6 A 2.2 A <br />SB 3.7 A 6.7 A 1.6 A <br />Ideal Avenue N & <br />36th Street N <br />Side <br />Street <br />Stop <br />EB 9.4 A - - 8.1 A <br />11.2 B WB 11.2 B - - - - <br />NB 3.9 A 1.9 A 1.3 A <br />SB - - 1.1 A 0.2 A <br />34th Street N & <br />Site Access 1 <br />Side <br />Street <br />Stop <br />EB 8.8 A 4.3 A 3.3 A <br />18.7 C WB 2.1 A 0.8 A 0.4 A <br />NB 15.0 B - - - - <br />SB 18.7 C - - 6.0 A
