As the area grows in population ~md tr~'fic volume, the need for roadway improvements becomes necessary. With the continued traffic growth on TH 10, it is proposed that TH [0 will be improved to a fdur-lane fi'eeway facility ttu-ough the City of Ramsey by 2017. It is also proposed that Armstrong Boulevard will be re-aligned to the west oflts current location through the Puke Site. This will allow for tm interchange to be constructed at the intersection of TH 10,. either with a signalized intersect[on on Armsla'ong wkh romp access to and fi'om TH I0 or a system-to-system interchange. By 2030, a river crossing to the south over the Missi-~sippi River is proposed that will connect with the interchange at TH 10 and Armstrong Boulevard. Assuming that't[lese improvements will be made to the roadway network,, the traffic fi'om the developments will access the roadway net~,ork differently and traffic patterns wilt change. Theresul~s oi" the 2017 and 2030 Full Build analyses are located in Table 8'. These resultsl take into account the realignment of Armstrong Boulevard and the two new study intersections. created by the realigmnent. It is assumed that the existing i'ntersectioff of Armstrong Boulevard (Old Armstrong) and Indush~,' Avenue will 'be redesigned before 2007 to handle the 2007 traffic without the realignment of Armstrcmg. This design wil! provide sufficient geometry at fl~e intersection for the traffic in 2017 and 2030.. Also a single- point intersection is anticipated at TH 10 and Armstrong Boulevm'd for analysis purposes. The intersection lanes and iraffic control that is required for LOS D or better operations. each year is noted in Figm'e 10. l'al~)ie 8:2017 am.I 2030 Full Build Mi.tigated Operational A~!a,!ysis Intersection & Traffic Control IScenario I PeakHour [ Intersection M'aximum Delay- ' ]I D'elay~"LOS LOS-v/c** Armstrong Blvd & TH 10/1'69 i 2017 AM I 'I&'6-B ' 35.4-D-0.86 PM .{ t4.7-B 41,0-D-0.87 J(~iu~tt-ong Bird & industry Ave ~W ~017 AM ' 2i:0_C 45,0-D-0.94 PM. 32.%C . 54.8~D-0.98 Signalized 203011 I AM · 21.8-C 47.'0-D~0.92 I PM 2Z6-C 47. i-D-0.9g Old Armstrong & Industry Ave NW 2017' I.AM 19.0-B 36~0-D~0.84 !
