<br />31 NorthPoint Industrial Park – Lake Elmo, MN │Traffic Analysis <br />January 2022 <br /> <br />5.9 HORIZON YEAR (2040) BUILD SCENARIO 3 INTERSECTION ANALYSIS <br />The Horizon Year (2040) Build Scenario 3 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 25 were used in the Horizon Year (2040) Build Scenario 3 analysis. As previously discussed, these <br />volumes were calculated by adding the Phase 2 of Scenario 3 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 26 – 27 provide a summary of the average delay (seconds per vehicle) and LOS under Horizo n <br />Year (2040) Build Scenario 3 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 M. <br />TABLE 26: HORIZON YEAR (2040) BUILD SCENARIO 3 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 29.5 C 19.5 B 3.2 A <br />20.0 C WB 32.1 C 25.2 C 3.0 A <br />NB 19.8 B 15.1 B 5.6 A <br />SB 19.1 B 22.2 C 17.7 B <br />Ideal Avenue N & <br />32nd Street N/Site <br />Access 2 <br />Side <br />Street <br />Stop <br />EB 8.7 A - - 3.1 A <br />8.7 A WB - - - - 3.5 A <br />NB 2.4 A 0.4 A 0.3 A <br />SB 5.9 A 5.1 A 5.3 A <br />Ideal Avenue N & <br />31st Street N/Site <br />Access 3 <br />Side <br />Street <br />Stop <br />EB 6.9 A - - 3.3 A <br />6.9 A WB - - - - - - <br />NB 3.8 A 1.7 A 1.6 A <br />SB 2.3 A 0.8 A 0.3 A <br />Ideal Avenue N & <br />Stillwater <br />Boulevard N <br />All - <br />Way <br />Stop <br />EB 6.8 A 11.2 B 3.0 A <br />6.7 A WB 5.2 A 11.1 B 3.9 A <br />NB 6.6 A 9.8 A 2.8 A <br />SB 5.5 A 8.3 A 2.4 A <br />34th Street N & <br />Jamaca Avenue N <br />Round- <br />about <br />EB 4.7 A 8.0 A 4.6 A <br />7.0 A WB 6.5 A 11.0 B 6.0 A <br />NB 2.5 A 6.1 A 2.2 A <br />SB 3.6 A 6.5 A 1.8 A <br />Ideal Avenue N & <br />36th Street N <br />Side <br />Street <br />Stop <br />EB 8.0 A - - 3.9 A <br />8.7 A WB 8.7 A - - - - <br />NB 3.9 A 1.7 A 1.3 A <br />SB - - 1.0 A 0.2 A <br />34th Street N & <br />Site Access 1 <br />Side <br />Street <br />Stop <br />EB 8.9 A 4.4 A 3.3 A <br />21.7 C WB 1.4 A 0.8 A 0.4 A <br />NB 18.0 C - - - - <br />SB 21.7 C - - 7.8 A
