<br /> THE VILLAGE LLC 11/11/2016 <br />TRAFFIC STUDY <br />CITY OF SAINT ANTHONY <br />WSB PROJECT NO. 2170-380 PAGE 11 <br /> <br /> <br />B. Traffic Distribution <br /> <br />Area generated trips were distributed to the adjacent roadway system based on <br />several factors including: <br /> <br /> Previous traffic and transportation studies in the area. <br /> Anticipated origins and destinations for specific land use (i.e. location of <br />commercial uses in relationship to residential). <br /> Existing travel patterns and future roadway connections. <br /> <br />Based on these parameters the following general traffic distribution was used to <br />distribute the projected traffic volumes in the study area: <br /> <br /> 5% to/from the north on Stinson Blvd (CR 27) <br /> 4% to/from north on Silver Lake Rd (CR 136) <br /> 5% to/from northeast on New Brighton Blvd (CR 88) <br /> 5% to/from southeast on St Anthony Blvd <br /> 20% to/from southwest on New Brighton Blvd (CR 88) <br /> 50% to/from south on Stinson Blvd <br /> 6% to/from west on Lowry Ave <br /> 1% to/from west on 26th Ave <br /> 1% to/from west on 27th Ave <br /> 3% to/from west on St Anthony Blvd <br /> <br />C. Projected Traffic Volumes <br /> <br />Traffic forecasts were prepared for the year 2018 which is the year after the <br />initial phase the proposed development is anticipated to be completed and for the <br />2030 conditions the Comprehensive Plan year which represents the full <br />development of the area. <br /> <br />The traffic forecasts were prepared by adding the projected annual background <br />traffic growth and the projected non-development traffic growth to the existing <br />2016 traffic counts to determine the “No-Build” traffic conditions. It was <br />determined that with the minimal increase in background traffic the 2018 no- <br />build condition would be similar to the existing 2016 conditions , therefore it was <br />not included in the analysis. <br /> <br />The proposed development traffic was then added to the no-build traffic <br />conditions to determine the 2018 and 2030 Build traffic conditions. As a worst <br />case condition it was assumed that the entire site would be developed in for the <br />2018 build condition. Figures 6 - 11 show the projected 2030 no-build, 2018 <br />build and 2030 Build AM and PM peak hour traffic volumes. <br />110
