Year 2015 Expanded MUSA ADT modeled volumes using 2015 E+C+P roadway improvements. Forecast Methodology, Network Development, and Trip Table Development The traffic forecasts were developed using the Metropolitan Council regional travel model that operates on the transportation planning software, TRAN~LA_N. Base networks and base trip tables were forwarded by the Metropolitan Cotmdl to BRW, Inc. The re~onal travel model assumes growth (in population, households, and elmployment) for all cities and towns within Anoka Count3, as well as in the metropolitan area. Therefore, growth is assumed not only in Andover and Ramsey but in adjacent communities. The base networks and base trip tables were: 1) Year 1990 existing network and trip table. Actual ~otmd counts by link were also included in the network file. The ground count data was used to adjust the forecast model volumes. 2) Year 2005 trip table and Year 2000 base network. The Year 2000 net-work file was updated to include all Year 2005 E+C roadway improvements to the street system in .&noka Count),. The Year 2005 trip table file contained vehicle trips projected using land use forecasts provided by the Metropolitan Council. i)
