Benshoo andJon M. Wertje <br /> RE: Traffic Engineering Study for Twin City Federal <br /> Bank - Apache <br /> PURPOSE AND SUMMARY <br /> The purpose of this memorandum is to document our traffic <br /> engineering analysis for the Twin City Federal branch <br /> located in St: Anthony. The analysis focuses on the <br /> potential impacts of expanding the drive-up by two lanes <br /> plus a bypass lane and assessing the bank's parking needs. <br /> • The analysis process included conducting existing traffic <br /> counts and assessing the impacts of the proposed drive-up <br /> expansion. Conclusions from the analysis are: <br /> Six percent of the existing bank traffic is orientated <br /> to/from the east on 39th Avenue. Because of this small <br /> percentage, 'the proposed drive-up expansion will have <br /> no significant effect on 39th Avenue east of the bank. <br /> The drive-up expansion will alleviate the on-site <br /> traffic congestion which occurs at peak periods by <br /> providing additional capacity for the drive-up <br /> operation. <br /> It is recommended that 11 additional parking spaces be <br /> added to the bank site to allow customers parking along <br /> 39th Avenue to park on-site. <br /> A parking area east of the building is recommended to <br /> provide three spaces for drop-off/pick-up functions. <br /> • <br />
