! <br />! <br /> <br />! <br />! <br /> <br />Where spec~iqc information was not available or the parcel had no <br />spell:lc prospect, a general land use was assigned to the parcel for <br />trip development. For these, a trip generation rate based on acres <br />and 'floor area ratio" was calculated. <br /> <br />Traffic Volumes <br /> <br />Enterprise Park Traffi~ Study <br />Anoka, Minnesota <br /> <br />Anoka Enterprise Park <br /> <br />For each development parcel, the anticipated number of trips <br />generated on a daily and peak hour basis were calculated. Since the <br />capacity of the roadway is established primarily in'the peak hour, <br />this report is prizr/arily concerned with peak hour trip generation and <br />distribution. <br /> <br />A trip distribution pattern was also established. This consisted of <br />general distribution pattern of employment throughout the <br />northwest metro area and a secondary distribution of traffic to <br />specific roads to reach the major roadways. As an example, Lund <br />Industries employee traffic was distributed to the metropolitan area <br />with the specific trips generated by the parce/distributed to Lund <br />Blvd., then to Thurston Avenue and finally to a number of other <br />roadways including County Road 116 or Trunk Highway 10..By <br />doing fl-ds for each parcel, a total volume can be established at each <br />intersection within and adjacent to the Anoka Enterprise Park. The <br />trip calculations for the intersections are shown in Figure A-2 for <br />Enterprise Park with current specific anticipated development and <br />general development on other parcels, and Figure A-3 for ultimate <br />build out of the entire development. <br /> <br />Residential Traffic Volumes <br /> <br />Traffic volumes from the residential area to the east were also <br />calculated. These' were distributed primarily to Highway 47 or <br />County Road 116 with little impact on Thurston Avenue. For most <br />of the types of t-rips generated in the development, a travel pattern <br />of travelling west to Thurston Avenue, south to Highway 10 and <br />back east is considerably longer than to merely use Highway 47, <br />despite some of the traffic and geometric problems along <br />Highway 47. <br /> <br />Traffic volumes from the Ramsey area will comprise most of the <br />through traffic on Thurston Avenue. With the existing <br />discouragement of through traffic on Dysprosium Street and the <br />current and planned geometrics of the County Road 116 and <br />I-{/ghway 47 intersect/on, it is not likely that much traffic will divert <br /> <br />A-.~qOKA9501.00 <br /> ?age q <br /> <br /> <br />
