The 2030 no-build condition was determined by projecting the existing traffic volumes with abackground growth factor of 0.15% per year based on the Metropolitan Travel Demand model projections. The 2030 full build traffic volumes were then determined by adding the proposed site traffic to the 2030 no-build volumes. The estimated trip generation from the proposed redevelopment project was based on rates for other similar land uses as documented in the Table 1 Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual, 9th Edition. above shows the 2030 no-build and 2030 build traffic volumes. 3.How many vehicles would there be by 2040 on: Stinson Parkway south of Lowry Avenue/Kenzie Terraceand Lowry Avenue west of Stinson Parkway (ADT and peak hour)? The original Traffic Study did not evaluate the year 2040 conditions. However, the City’s Comprehensive plan update currently being prepared did provide projections to 2040. The plan has not been approved by the City or Met Council so they are still considered draft Table 1 projections. Peak hour volumes have not been determined or analyzed. shows the 2040 ADT traffic volumes from the draft modeling which has been completed. 4.Can thecurrent roadway designs handle the additional traffic? Will it worsen congestion duringpeak hour? With any increase in traffic volume congestion would worsen, howeveran analysisneeds to be completed to determine what impact it would have on the area intersections and roadway segments.
