The 1164 daily trips utilize 157th Lane, west of TH ff-47, to gain access to or from the Apple Ridge subdivision represents 86.5% of all daily trips generated by this subdivision. The remaining 13.5% or 182 daily trips generated by the Apple Ridge subdivision are accessing CSAH #5 via 157th Lane in the Hall's Dover Acres residential development to the west. Likewise, an estimate 24 daffy trips generated in the Hall's Dover Acres development can be expected to use the Apple Ridge subdivision streets to access TH ~47. The proposed Apple Ridge subdivision development can be expected to generate about 1350 trips on a daily basis when fully developed. And the proposed street layout encourages the vast majority of those daily trips (about 1164 or 86.5% of all lrips) to remain entirely w/thin this plat before accessing TH ~47. The proposed street layout also facilitates internal trips between adjacent neighborhoods without promoting external trips through adjacent neighborhoods. From a traffic engineering perspective, the most critical element of this proposed Apple Ridge development is the ultimate design and construction cfa safe intersection along TH ~q47 at 157th Lane. I did conduct a field investigation of the proposed TH ~47 - 157th Lane - Boy Scout Camp entrance intersection on Monday evening, March 17th, and found there to be very good sight distance along TH//47 to both the north and south. The ex/sting horizontal and vertical curve alignment of TH//47 at this proposed intersection location provides very adequate sight distance to promote safe vehicle operations. If you have further questions, need additional information or wish to discuss this matter in greater detail, please contact me.
