2. Existing Conditions <br />_ _ <br />a. Corridor Characteristics <br />As mentioned, the proposed site is located South of Hwy 10, between Bowers Drive <br />and Llama Street. Table 1 shows the characteristics of the key roadway corridors <br />around this site and within the study area. <br />Table 1— Study Corridor Characteristics <br />Name <br />Designation <br />Classification' <br />Speed <br />Limit <br />Lanes <br />Transit' <br />Peds/ <br />. <br />Bicycles <br />Hwy 10 <br />US 10 <br />Principal <br />Arterial <br />65 <br />mph <br />4 Divided <br />None <br />None <br />Bowers Drive <br />MSAS 115 <br />Local <br />30 <br />mph <br />2 <br />Undivided <br />None <br />None <br />Llama Street <br />MSAS 122 <br />Local <br />30 <br />mph <br />2 <br />Undivided <br />None <br />None <br />Armstrong <br />Boulevard <br />CSAH 83 <br />A -Minor <br />Expander <br />35 <br />mph <br />4 Divided <br />None <br />Trail on <br />one side <br />Riverdale Drive <br />MSAS 115 <br />Local <br />30 <br />mph <br />2 <br />Undivided <br />None <br />Sidewalk/ <br />Trail on <br />east side <br />1 CSAH = County State Aid Highway, MSAS = Municipal State Aid Street. <br />2 City of Ramsey 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update and Anoka County Comprehensive Plan <br />3 Number of routes around the proposed site followed by the frequency of transit service during the <br />peak periods. <br />b. Study Intersection Characteristics <br />All Study intersections are under side street stop control except for Armstrong <br />Boulevard/North Hwy 10 Ramps, which utilizes traffic signal control. The existing <br />traffic control and travel lanes are shown in Figure 1 in the Appendix for the study <br />intersections. <br />c. Traffic Volumes <br />Intersection video was collected at the existing study intersections under normal <br />weekday conditions in September/October2020. Using these videos, 48-hour turning <br />movement counts were obtained at the study intersections. The data from the two <br />days was averaged to provide the base traffic for a "typical weekday" and compared <br />against previously collected data to determine if COVID-19 was having meaningful <br />impacts on the obtain traffic data. This review showed that at the Armstrong <br />Boulevard/Hwy 10 ramps the collected counts were higher than those collected <br />previously. Based on this result the collected turning movement counts were utilized <br />in our analysis. <br />Traffic Impact Study 3 <br />Riverstone South Development <br />Vi Spa& <br />
