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 />Location <br />TH 10 <br />East of Ramsey Blvd <br />Between Ramsey and Armstrong Blvds <br />West of Armstrong Blvd <br />Rams ey Boulevard <br />North of TH-10 <br />Armstrong Boulevard <br />North of TH-10 <br />S unwood Drive <br />West of Ramsey Blvd <br />Source: Mn/DOT. <br />Traffic <br />Count <br />40,000 <br />37,500 <br />34,000 <br />7,000 <br />6,400 <br />2,400 <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 />
