Peak Hour Analysis <br />Traffic volumes on nearby roadways typically are at their highest levels during the day from <br />4:30 to 5:30 p.m. During this period, a total of 22 vehicles were observed along Eastwood <br />Drive at County Road I. A total of 16 vehicles were northbound and the remaining six <br />were southbound. <br />Tt is expected that the closure of the Eastwood Drive at County Road I would divert most <br />of the northbound traffic to Greenwood Drive. A smaller portion would divert to Long <br />Lake Road. The southbound traffic is expected to divert to several roads in the <br />neighborhood. From a total standpoint, the existing tr�c will increase on Greenwood <br />Drive south of Hillview Road by approximately 12 vehicles in the p.m. peak hour. Long <br />Lake Road will increase by six vehicles during this time period, and Red Oak Drive will <br />increase by four vehicles. <br />The Walgreens development is expected to generate 14 additional trips to and from the <br />neighborhood to the north during the p.m. peak hour. These trips will be distributed <br />between Red Oak Drive, Greenwood Drive, Sunnyside Road, and Long Lake Road. The <br />resultant total expected volume increase on nearby residential streets during the p.m. peak <br />hour are shown in Table 4. <br />Table 4 <br />Additional P.M.

No <br />adverse impacts are expected. <br />Effects on Emeraencv Services <br />Discussions with the Mounds View Police Department and the Fire Department were <br />conducted. Sta:FF from the two departments have indicated that they do not have any <br />objections to the proposed closure of �astwood Road because they do not expect the <br />closure to have a significant effect on their response times. <br />The City of l�iounds View requires that cul-de-sac designs provide for a 50 feet radius to <br />accommodate the turning requirements of fire vehicles. <br />
