Mr. Tim Nelson -13- September 15, 1986 - Upon full development of the proposal, an additional 690 daily trips (two way) are expected to utlllze Quincy St. (an Increase of 607.), with 125 trips In the PH Peak Hour (an Increase of 169%). Of the daily trips, approximately 50 are expected to be light/medium trucks and 6 to be combination trucks If no effort Is made by the developers to restrict truck usage. With the actions to reduce outgoing truck usage discussed above, It Is expected that the estimated dally truck trips could be effectively reduced by approximately 50%. Based upon the projected traffic, the current design of Quincy St., and the slgnollzatlon at the Intersection with County Road I. It Is expected that Quincy St. can safely and effectively acnommodate development traffic. However, with the Increased traffic volumes that would occur, the function of the street would change from local to collector status. CONCLUSIONS Based upon the analysis of the traffic impacts of the proposed development In Mounds Views the following conclu- slons are mades • The development is expected to generate approximately ( 7660 dally trips (In and out) Including 530 light/med- lum truck trips and 50 combination truck trips. • Upon full development of the proposal, traffic volumes on area roadways, with the exception of Quincy St., are consistent with the functional classification of the roads Indicating that development traffic can be effec- tively accommodated. T.H. 10 Is the principal access to the property with approximately 70% of all development trips expected to utilize this roadway In the vicinity of the site. The proposed full movement Intersection on T.H. 10 providing the main access to the site will require s!gnalizatlon. The Intersections of T.H. 10 with County Road H and County Road 11-2 currently operate at or near capacity during the PH Peak Hour. The planned realignment of T.H. 10 north of Its current alignment will slgnlfl- rnntly reduce through volumes on existing T.H. 10, such that It Is expected that development traFflc can be effectively accommodated on T.H. 10.
