The manual can be found online at x~;co~oka.mn,us ~der ~e <br /> Highway Dcp~ment's link. <br /> <br />Our Traffic Engineering Manager, Jane Rose will address further comments on <br />the preliminary plat in another letter. <br /> <br />We would request the city use the Mefropolitan Council's Traffic Model, or the <br />County Traffic Model (based on the Metro Council Model):to project future <br />traffic. With the trends occurring in the regionwe question the trip geners/tion <br />numbers provided inthe EAW. <br /> <br />As an example, the Metro Council's Travel Behavior Inventory numbers ['or <br />Anoka County show an average of 12.3 trips per single-family home are <br />generated fi'om homes in our area. We have found these numbers to be a better <br />representation of the trends occurring in the area. <br /> <br />We request that there be a full discussion of traffic impacts prior to any final <br />approvals. Our data shows much greater impac~ from traffic generated by this <br />development. We have sefions concerns about the impacts on the County <br />Highway System. <br /> <br />Affirmative Action / Equal Opportunity Employer <br /> <br /> <br />
