Adelaide Landing Residential Development Traffic Impact Analysis Trip Distribution and Assignment 1/31/2017 Westwood determined the trip distribution based on the existing peak hour volumes gathered in August 2016 and presented in Figure 2. Percentages were calculated of trips entering and exiting the study area based. Figure 5 illustrates the trip distributions by peak period. Figure 6 illustrates the assignment of peak hour trips generated by this development onto the study area. 2022 Build Scenario To model the effect of the Adelaide Landing development on study area traffic, the trip assignment traffic was added to the no -build traffic — both for the 2022 and 2040 scenarios. In each scenario, existing MnDOT signal timing were utilized. Figure 7 shows the resulting traffic forecast for the 2022 Build condition. There are six main access locations into and out of the development: 130th Street North & Flay Road (west site access street) 130th Street North & 1291h Drive North (mid site access street) 130th Street North & the east site access street (yet unnamed) 134th Street North & TH 61 (via adjacent subdivision) 137th Street North & TH 61 (via adjacent subdivision) 140th Street North & Flay Avenue There are also two main intersections providing indirect access to the development included in the analysis: TH 61 & 1301h Street North TH 61 & 1401h Street North Table 9 lists the traffic operation and queuing that will result from the 2022 Build scenario. In the 2022 Build condition, all intersections performed at LOS-C or better in the a.m. peak hour. The intersection of TH 61 & 130th Street, however, did not operate acceptably during the p.m. peak hour due to heavy north/south demand and very limited east/west green time. On a movement -by -movement scale, several lane groups recorded LOS-E or -F, suggesting they were at or exceeding capacity: TH 61 & 140th Street North -- levels of service at this intersection may be improved with signal timing changes. The shared eastbound left/through lane group. The southbound left turn movement. 29 Westwood
