MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />DATE: April 19, 2000 <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />Sylvia Frolik, Community Development Director <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />Steve Jankowski, City Engineer <br /> <br />Ace Solid Waste Traffic Generalities <br /> <br />I am in receipt of an April 12, 2000 letter describing the traffic generalities, which will occur as a <br />result of that proposed development. In addition to the truck trips generated by the development <br />there will also be employee traffic to and from their work site. Presumably this will add a <br />minimum of 40 trips in both the early morning and mid afternoon, since there will be a number <br />of employees at the facility in addition to the truck drivers. <br /> <br />In addition, I have also, reviewed the An0ka County 2015 Comprehensive Transportation Plan <br />and offer the following observations: <br /> <br />· C.R. #57 is classified as a collector ..highway, which in an urban setting can carry up to <br /> 15,000 trips per day. <br /> <br />The 1997 traffic count on C.R. #57 between T.H. #10 and C.R. #116 is 5500 trips per day. <br /> <br />2015 traffic projections indicate that traffic on this segment of C.R. #57 will function at a <br />level of service C or greater without capacity improvements. <br /> <br />In addition, I would offer these following observations: <br /> <br />McKinley Street is a MSA street and has been constructed to standards consistent with <br />accommodating truck traffic. <br /> <br />The traffic generated will ocour at off peak hours. <br /> <br />McKinley Street will be 'extended westward to Jaspar and Ramsey Boulevard, providing <br />future alternate access to the site from the west. <br /> <br />McKinley Street is currently being used by heavy tracks from Commercial Asphalt <br />throughout the day without any reported adverse traffic impacts to the area. <br /> <br />It is my opinion that the traffic generalities caused by this site plan will not cause any significant <br />negative impact on the existing local road system. It is further my opinion that other land uses <br />consistent with the present zoning could have a more significant traffic impact, particularly <br />during peak hour periods. <br /> <br />Sharcdlcorrcspljanko~$kilmemoslFrolik Re Ace Solid Waste <br /> <br />142 <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br /> <br />
