Traffic Counts <br /> Traffic counts on the primary streets are one of the important site criteria for retail and <br /> commercial development. TH-10 had 2010 average daily traffic counts of 40,000 east of <br /> Ramsey Boulevard, 37,500 between Ramsey and Armstrong Boulevards, and 34,000 to the west <br /> indicating that a high volume of trips enter The COR at Ramsey area. Traffic counts on Ramsey <br /> Boulevard north of TH-10 were 7,000 trips compared to 6,400 trips on Armstrong Boulevard <br /> north of TH-10. Sunwood Drive carried 2,400 trips west of Ramsey Boulevard, a relatively low <br /> traffic count for commercial developments. <br /> Table 7-2 <br /> RAMSEY STATION AREA <br /> AVERAGE DAILY TRAFFIC COUNTS; 2010 <br /> Traffic <br /> Location Count <br /> In-10 <br /> East of Ramsey Blvd 40,000 <br /> Between Ramsey and Armstrong Blvds 37,500 <br /> West of Armstrong Blvd 34,000 <br /> Ramsey Boulevard <br /> North of TH-10 7,000 <br /> Armstrong Boulevard <br /> North of TH-10 6,400 <br /> S unwood Drive <br /> West of Ramsey Blvd 2,400 <br /> Source: Mn/DOT. <br /> Surrounding Land Use and Development <br /> Land use around the Ramsey Station is influenced by the TH-10/rail line corridor, as shown in <br /> Figure 7-2. Land use south of the rail line is generally highway oriented commercial <br /> development including RV and boat dealerships, a gardening/nursery business, home furnishings <br /> stores, and automotive services. Mississippi West Regional Park is south of TH-10 on Traprock <br /> Street, and will be connected to the station and COR project with a pedestrian and bicycle <br /> overpass. West of Ramsey Boulevard between TH-10 and the rail line, there are several <br /> highway oriented businesses including fast food, pet care, and RV and trailer service. North of <br /> the rail line and east of Armstrong Boulevard is occupied by a business park with several light <br /> industrial, warehouse, and one to two story office buildings. Land use transitions to low density <br /> residential north of 149th Avenue NW, which is the approximate boundary of The COR <br /> development. Land west of Armstrong Boulevard is mostly vacant and available for future <br /> development. <br /> 7-3 <br />
