Projected traffic volumes were prepared by adding the projected annual background traffic <br />growth (non-site related traffic) of 0.15% per year to the existing 2016 traffic counts to <br />determine the 2030 No-Build traffic conditions. <br /> <br />The proposed development traffic was then added to the no-build traffic conditions based on the <br />anticipated area traffic distribution to determine the 2030 Build traffic conditions. Table 2 and <br />Figures 6 – 11 in the study shows the Site Traffic Generation and the projected 2030 no-build <br />and 2030 build traffic volumes. Table 1 below shows a summary of the existing and projected <br />traffic volumes on Stinson Parkway and NE 27th Avenue. <br /> <br />Table 1 – Traffic Volume Summary <br />Location <br />Existing 2016 2030 No-Build 2030 Build 2040 <br />ADT ADT AM <br />Peak <br />PM <br />Peak ADT AM <br />Peak <br />PM <br />Peak ADT AM <br />Peak <br />PM <br />Peak <br />Stinson Pkwy – <br />North of NE 27th Ave 6,000 469 600 6,150 481 617 6,350 495 633 7,250 <br />NE 27th Ave – <br />West of Stinson Pkwy 1,200 127 95 1,230 134 101 1,260 138 106 1,300 <br />NE 27th Ave - <br />East of Stinson Pkwy 1,000 126 81 1,025 132 87 1,025 132 87 1,100 <br /> <br />Assuming the existing and projected traffic conditions an operations analysis was completed to <br />determine the anticipated impacts both the no-build and build conditions would have on the <br />roadway system. Based on the analysis it was determined that no changes to the existing <br />roadway or traffic control would be required to accommodate the existing or projected traffic <br />volumes. <br /> <br />It was also suggested, by the public, that a one-way system be considered for NE 27th Avenue. <br />This was reviewed and the following conclusions were made: <br /> <br />• The traffic volumes in the area would not change by converting the roadway to a one- <br />way. The volumes would just be re-distributed to other roadways, increasing volumes on <br />some of them. <br />• There is no good alternative route for eastbound (or westbound) traffic west of Stinson <br />Parkway. <br />• Enforcement of ‘wrong-way” vehicles becomes an issue with low volumes and several <br />access’s. <br /> <br />Based on these conclusions and the fact that the traffic volumes and operations analysis does not <br />support any improvements, no changes to the recommendations in the Traffic Study should be <br />considered. <br /> <br />If you have any further questions need any additional information, please contact me at (612) <br />360-1283 or crickart@wsbeng.com. <br /> <br /> <br />182
