MC capacity peak hour <br />Mn/DOT capacity peak hour <br />1988 VPD <br />1988 vehicles peak hour <br />Projected rural res. peak hr. <br />MUSA residential <br />Commercial/Industrial <br /> <br /> 4,800 (2,400 each direction) <br /> 6,400 (3,200 each direction) <br />29,900 <br /> 2,990 <br /> 374 <br /> 20 <br /> 142 <br /> 3,526 <br /> <br />As indicated, the sum total of all new development indicates a <br />peak hour traffic total of approximately 3,500 vehicles. <br />Assuming that 65% of peak hour traffic is heading in one <br />direction and that commercial/industrial traffic peaks at the <br />same time as residential commuting, the combined impact would be <br />2,275 vehicles per peak hour in a single direction, less than <br />MC's single direction capacity of 2,400 vehicles on Hwy. 10 and <br />be well within Mn/DOT's capacity of 3,200 vehicles per direction. <br />Nevertheless, it does underscore that to the extent possible, the <br />impacts on Hwy. 10 should be lessened. <br /> <br />TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT SCHEDULE <br /> <br />Figure illustrates the development schedule of major east- <br />west arterials and frontage roads along Hwy. 10. The development <br />schedule portrays the City's best estimate as to when the <br />improvements are anticipated. Actual construction depends on <br />demand, future subdivision activity and funding capability. A <br />significant east-west collector is currently being completed with <br />the bridge crossing of the Rum River (CSAH 116). Construction of <br />153rd Ave. is being initiated and is anticipated for completion <br />in 1991-1992. These two collectors will relieve a significant <br />amount of local traffic on Highway 10. A key element relieving <br />traffic on Hwy. 10, however, will be continued development of the <br />frontage roads along Hwy. 10. The development of frontage road <br />along Hwy. 10 should continue to be a condition of future <br />subdivision. <br /> <br />22e <br /> <br /> <br />
