Introduction <br />Landform has completed a feasibility study and prepared this Preliminary Engineering <br />Report for the realignment of the western portion of Sunwood Drive. <br />Sunwood Drive is a collector street than runs in an east/west direction through the <br />southern portion of The COR connecting Ramsey Boulevard to Armstrong Boulevard. <br />The new TH10/Armstrong Interchange creates a substantial grade differential at the <br />current location of the Armstrong/Sunwood intersection. Because of this grade <br />differential, it is necessary to realign Sunwood Drive to a connection point further north <br />along Armstrong Boulevard. Figure 1 shows the location of Sunwood Drive and the <br />needed realignment. Sunwood Drive is also shown on Development Plan 5.03 for The <br />COR, which is reproduced on page 3 (Figure 2). The location of the new <br />Armstrong/Sunwood intersection was determined based on the new Armstrong <br />Boulevard grades, spacing between the intersections on Armstrong Boulevard and <br />maximizing the development potential of the western portion of The COR. <br />The feasibility study also included an update of traffic generation in The COR based on <br />Development Plan 5.03 and an operational analysis of a 771 ndabout at the intersection <br />of realigned Sunwood Drive and Ramsey Parkway. These studies are presented in the <br />Appendices and summaries are presented in the following section of this Preliminary <br />Engineering Report. <br />This report coordinates with the work being done by WSB & Associates, Inc. on the new <br />intersection of Armstrong Boulevard and Sunwood Drive. That intersection project is <br />advance construction of a portion of the 10/83 project. <br />City of Ramsey <br />Sunwood Drive <br />F OR M <br />Project No. RAM11008 <br />Page 1 <br />
