I <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I' <br /> <br />Steve Jankowski, P.E. <br /> <br />- 8 - January 14, 2000 <br /> <br />The directional trip distribution for the proposed site-generated traffic was based on a regional <br />model selected zone analysis, current travel patterns in the area and discussions with City of <br />Ramsey staff (see Figure 4: Directional Distribution). As shown in the land use plan, Sunwood <br />Drive is proposed to be extended through Section 28 to intersect with Armstrong Boulevard. <br />From the Anoka-Hennepin Technical College proposed site plan, the technical college/light <br />industrial site is assumed to have full access to Ramsey Boulevard. The background traffic <br />volumes were combined with the site-generated tra~.: c to develop 'projected 2005 turning <br />movement volumes at thc key intersections. <br /> <br />Future Traffic Oporrt;ons Analysis <br /> <br />To determine how 'wcL: '[Se existing roadway netwonc would operate, a traffic operations analysis <br />was conducted for ti?. year 2005 with the propooe6 developments in Section.:. 2,; rnd south of <br />TH I0. The key i?~erzcctions listed previously '-ere analyzed along w,i'-~, u~.~ additional <br />intersection of Armstzci~g Boulevard and.. Sunwc c 5 Pfve. The only intersec'5o~. :~ot requiring <br />the installation of ~miic signals by 2005 was -me :atersection of Armstreng ~eulevard and <br />County Road 116 L~: A.i. temative One (Technical Co~!ege). As shown in Table 4, 'J .~ ~:ntersection <br />of Ramsey Boulevz:_3 ::nd TH 10 is projected to op:rute at LOS F in 2005 in ¢oth me a.m. and <br />p.m. peak hours for boil, 'alternatives.
