Figure 2. Location of proposed improvements. <br />Design Considerations <br />Street Design and Anticipated Traffic Volumes <br />Determining the cross section and structure of the street is dependent on variables such as soil <br />characteristics, traffic types and volumes that are anticipated during the design life of the initial <br />pavement section. A Geotechnical Exploration has not been completed at this time, however, <br />for purposes of this report it is assumed that subgrade soils are suitable for road construction. <br />The traffic types and volumes will be determined by completing an analysis of the existing and <br />proposed land use of the adjacent property, as well as the additional area that the road will <br />serve in the future. We expect the street to initially carry traffic generated by the properties <br />immediately adjacent to the project, however, it is anticipated that an extension across the <br />Anoka County Regional Park property will be constructed to make a connection with Ramsey <br />Boulevard, at which time the traffic volume is anticipated to increase. Upon the extension to <br />Ramsey Boulevard, Riverdale Drive will function more as a frontage road and will divert local <br />traffic off of TH10. <br />2IPage <br />
