MEMO TO: Clerk -Administrator and City Council <br />FROM: Director of Public Works/Community Development <br />DATE: August 13, 1984 <br />SUBJECT: TRAFFIC STUDY ON LONG LAKE ROAD BETWEEN <br />SHERWOOD ROAD AND ARDAN AVENUE <br />On July 11, 1984, you requested that the Public Works Department <br />conduct a traffic study on the subject street. As you may <br />recall, the City Council, recently ordered the preparation of a <br />resolution requesting that Ramsey County place 4-way stops at the <br />intersections of Long Lake Road and Hillview Road and Long Lake <br />Road and Sherwood Road. The Council then tabled action on this <br />item due :.o objections raised by the residents of the Long Lake <br />Road area at the July 9, 1984, City Council meeting. The <br />following are the results of the requested study. <br />The 48 hour study was conducted from 1:40 p.m. on Monday, July <br />30, 1984 to 1:40 p.m. on Wednesday, August 1, 1984. On the first <br />full day of counting we measured 1,720 vehicles and on the second <br />full day of counting we measured 1,520 vehicles. Therefore, <br />approximately 1,620 vehicles per day travel this section of Long <br />Lake Road between Sherwood Road and Arden Avenue. <br />�_. The County's adjusted data for this section of road is as <br />follows: <br />DATE VEHICLES <br />1973 550 VPD (Vehicles Per Day) <br />1975 700 VPD <br />1977 1,150 VPD <br />1979 900 VPD <br />1981 800 VPD <br />1983 750 VPD <br />The signal light at the intersection of Long Lake Road and <br />Highway 10 was placed into operation on November 10, 1983 at <br />11:30 a.m. <br />Therefore, the traffic has apparently increased on this section <br />of road since the signal light was placed into operation. <br />SWT/bc <br />
