Mr. Tim Nelson -9- September 15, 1986 <br />West of Quincy St., Just east of Jackson St., the existing <br />daily traffic on County Road H-2 Is 3500 vehicles. In <br />addition to the traffic ecst of Quincy St. which would be <br />diverted (1100 daily trips), It Is estimated that approxl- <br />mately 500 trips oriented to/from the south from Quincy St. <br />currently use County Road H-2 In the vicinity of Jackson St. <br />These trips In addition to trips from locations Just west of <br />Quincy St. on 14-2 are also expected to divert through the <br />development to T.11. 10. Thus, of the ey.lsting 3500 vehicles <br />per day using County Road H-2 east of Jackson St., 1900 <br />trips would remain. <br />As noted, the ultimate realignment of T. H. 10 to the north <br />Is expected to reduce volumes on existing T.H. 10 approxi- <br />mately 67%. The E.I.S. for T.H. 10 did not estimate a <br />reduction based upon the existing programmed connection to <br />T.H. 65. As such, no specific analysis of the diverson of <br />trips from existing T.H. 10 to new T.H. 10 by 1991 (full <br />development of this proposal) has been taken Into account in <br />this report. <br />Based upon the estimates of the diversion of existing <br />traffic volumes, daily development trips can be added to the <br />roadway system to determine projected daily volumes on the <br />public roadway system upon full development of the proposal. <br />Figure d presents the existing average daily traffic and <br />_. projected dally traffic volumes. Analysis of the Impacts of <br />the daily development traffic and PM Peak Hour traFFIc Is <br />discussed In the following section. <br />TRAFFIC ANALYSIS <br />In reviewing the projected daily traffic on the roadway <br />system upon full development of the proposal. traffic <br />volumes on the major roadways, with the exception of Quincy <br />St., are consistent with the function which these roadways <br />are expected to perform based on existing functlonaf class- <br />Iflcatlon (collector, minor arterial, principal arterial). <br />Impacts on specific roadways and/or locations are discussed <br />below. <br />7.11. 10 <br />T.H. 10 Is the principal access to this development with <br />approximately 70% of ail development traffic expected to <br />utilize T.H. 10 In the Immediate vicinity of the property. <br />As we understand It, discussions with MnDOT In 1984 resulted <br />In concurrence with the addition of a full movement <br />Intersection between County Road H and County Road H-2, as <br />Is proposed with this development. Analysis of PM Peak Hour <br />projections at this new Intersection clearly Indicate that <br />
