Ramsey Town Center Traffic Analysis <br />Future Base Conditions <br />The Future Base conditions show that addition of the background growth in traffic will cause the <br />intersection of TH 10 and Sunfish Lake Boulevard to deteriorate to LOS D during the AM peak period. <br />The other intersections in the study area remain in acceptable conditions. Unstable conditions continue to <br />be present at the intersections of TH 10 and Ramsey and Armstrong Boulevards. <br />Table 3: Level of Service Comparison <br />Intersection <br />■ <br />Traffic Control at <br />Intersection <br />Armstrong Blvd at TH 10 <br />Ramsey Blvd at TH 10 <br />Sunfish Lake Blvd at TH 10 <br />Armstrong Blvd at Industry Ave <br />Ramsey Blvd at Industry Ave <br />Industry Ave at Sunfish Lake Blvd <br />Ramsey Blvd at Sunwood Drive <br />Sunwood Drive at Industry Ave <br />Sunwood Drive at Armstrong Blvd <br />NS2 Street at Industry Ave <br />NS3 Street at Industry Ave <br />INS5 Street at Industry Ave <br />EW1 Parkway at Ramsey Blvd <br />EW1 Parkway at Armstrong Blvd <br />Notes: <br />(a) Values in parentheses indicate Minor Approach LOS only <br />(b) Mitigated conditions include lane adjustments and lane additions at intersections as noted in the text. <br />(c) Intersection is signalized in the mitigated condition <br />Existind° <br />AM PM <br />Peak Peak <br />Future <br />Base° <br />AM PM <br />Peak Peak <br />Future w <br />Project ° Mitig;teda b> <br />AM PM AM PM <br />Peak Peak Peak Peak <br />Signalized <br />Signalized <br />Signalized <br />One way Stop <br />All -way Stop <br />All -way Stop <br />One way Stop <br />One way Stop <br />One way Stop <br />One way Stop <br />One way Stop <br />One way Stop <br />One way Stop <br />One way Stop <br />B <br />B <br />C <br />(B) <br />B <br />B <br />(B) <br />(B) <br />A <br />A <br />F <br />(B) <br />B <br />C <br />(B) <br />(B) <br />B <br />C <br />D <br />(B) <br />C <br />C <br />(B) <br />(B) <br />B <br />B <br />F <br />(B) <br />B <br />C <br />(B) <br />(B) <br />F <br />F <br />F <br />(C) <br />F <br />D <br />(F) <br />(C) <br />(F) <br />(B) <br />(C) <br />(B) <br />(F) <br />(B) <br />F <br />F <br />F <br />(E) <br />F <br />F <br />(F) <br />(F) <br />(F) <br />(C) <br />(F) <br />(C) <br />(F) <br />(F) <br />Future with Project Conditions <br />The impacts of the proposed project trips were calculated by adding project trips to the Future Base and <br />analyzing the intersections with the existing lane configurations. Project traffic would cause the <br />intersections on TH 10 to deteriorate to LOS F would cause the stop -controlled intersection on Industry <br />Avenue, Ramsey Boulevard, and Armstrong Boulevard to move into LOS E and F conditions during one <br />or both peak periods. <br />New intersections created by the project with Industry Avenue would operate in acceptable conditions <br />with the exception of the central north -south street (NS3) at Industry Avenue during the PM peak period. <br />The two new intersections of the east -west parkway (EW1) with Ramsey and Armstrong Boulevards <br />would operate in unacceptable conditions during at least one peak period. <br />C <br />D <br />E <br />B(° <br />C(°) <br />B(°) <br />B(°) <br />(C) <br />(B) <br />(B) <br />(B) <br />RECOMMENDED IMPROVEMENTS/PROJECT MITIGATION <br />Analysis of the intersection operations indicates that lane additions and installation of intersection <br />channelization and traffic signals would be adequate to mitigate the project impacts at the intersections in <br />the study area. The following roadway widenings are suggested: <br />• Ramsey Boulevard —widen to five lane cross section south of Industry Avenue to provide two <br />through lanes in each direction and a left turn lane/center median <br />March 2003 Meyer.
