SOUTHERN GATEWAY (THE VILLAGE LLC) 02/19/2018 REVISED TRAFFIC STUDY CITY OF SAINT ANTHONY WSB PROJECT NO. 2170-300 PAGE 1 INTRODUCTION / BACKGROUND A Traffic Impact Study, dated November 11, 2016, was completed for The Village LLC development as part of the Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) process. The purpose of the study was to determine the potential transportation impacts for the redevelopment of the existing 15-acre, 200 unit manufactured home/RV park community, located in the northeast quadrant of the intersection of Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) and NE Stinson Parkway in the City of St Anthony. Figure 1 and Figure 2 show the project location and project area. The development was originally proposed to include five, 3 to 5 story multi-unit buildings with a mix of apartments, senior living, and continuing care uses consisting of approximately 800 units and; 37, 2- to 3-story townhome units. After input from the public and elected officials, the development team is now proposing a revised, less intense, development plan. The new plan now includes 225 market rate apartments; 61 senior living units; and, 128 assisted living units. The proposed site plan is shown on Figure 3. Based on the revised plan the transportation impacts of the existing and proposed traffic conditions were evaluated for the NE Stinson Parkway and Kenzie Terrace (CR 153)/Lowry Avenue corridors including the following intersections: • St Anthony Blvd at NE Stinson Pkwy • St Anthony Blvd at Silver Lake Blvd (CR 136) / Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) • St Anthony Blvd at New Brighton Blvd (CR 88) • NE Stinson Pkwy at 27th Avenue • NE Stinson Pkwy at 26th Avenue • NE Stinson Pkwy at Lowry Ave / Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) • Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) at Lowry Grove Entrance • Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) at Wilson Street • Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) at Autumn Woods/Kenzington Apartments The Traffic Engineering Review and Analysis in this Study was conducted to determine the impacts the site would have on the area traffic operations, lane geometry/traffic control and access. The following sections of this report outline the findings of this study including: • Documentation of existing traffic conditions in the area, and; • Projecting future traffic for the proposed development, and; • Determining lane configuration needs at the primary driveways and intersections in the area, and; • Developing conclusions and recommendations with respect to the existing and future roadway needs and configurations at area intersections and/or roadways.
