SOUTHERN GATEWAY (THE VILLAGE LLC) 02/19/2018 REVISED TRAFFIC STUDY CITY OF SAINT ANTHONY WSB PROJECT NO. 2170-300 PAGE 12 C. Projected Traffic Volumes Traffic forecasts were prepared for the year 2019 which is the year after the initial phase the proposed development is anticipated to be completed and for the 2030 conditions the Comprehensive Plan year which represents the full development of the area. The traffic forecasts were prepared by adding the projected annual background traffic growth and the projected non-development traffic growth to the existing 2016 traffic counts to determine the “No-Build” traffic conditions. It was determined that with the minimal increase in background traffic the 2019 no- build condition would be similar to the existing 2016 conditions, therefore it was not included in the analysis. The proposed development traffic was then added to the no-build traffic conditions to determine the 2019 and 2030 Build traffic conditions. As a worst case condition it was assumed that the entire site would be developed for the 2019 build condition. Figures 6 - 11 show the projected 2030 no-build, 2019 build and 2030 Build AM and PM peak hour traffic volumes. During the preparation of the previous Traffic Study concerns were raised with the amount of traffic on adjacent roadways, specifically; Stinson Parkway north and south of Kenzie Terrace (CR 153) and Lowry Avenue west of Stinson Parkway. Table 4 below shows the summary of the existing and projected traffic volumes.
