N meth, P.E., PTOE <br />Introduction <br />43354 June 21, 2021 <br />Reg. No. Date <br />A high-level traffic review was conducted on the proposed developments off of 173rd Avenue West, <br />west of CSAH 5 (Nowthen Boulevard) in the City of Ramsey. The purpose of the review was to <br />identify potential traffic impacts and/or additional considerations. <br />Site Considerations <br />• The proposed Makowsky Addition development is located southwest of the 173rd Ave NW and <br />CSAH 5 (Nowthen Blvd) intersection. Additionally, there is another proposed residential <br />development (Hunt Addition) located on the northwest corner. The two lot concepts/site plans are <br />attached. <br />• The Makowsky Addition development currently proposes to include 270 single family lots with <br />all of the development traffic accessing Nowthen Blvd at 173rd Ave NW (at least until more <br />development occurs to the north). <br />• The Hunt Addition currently proposes to include 79 single family lots with the development <br />traffic using both 173rd Ave NW and County Road (CR) 63 (175th Ave NW) to access Nowthen <br />Blvd. <br />• CSAH 5 (Nowthen Blvd) is classified as an A -Minor Arterial Expander with a 55 mile per hour <br />speed limit. It is a two-lane undivided roadway with no curb and gutter. At 173rd Ave NW, there <br />is a 180-foot southbound right turn lane, while the northbound approach includes a left turn <br />bypass lane. <br />• With a speed limit of 55 mph, the required sight distance for a left turn out from 173rd Ave NW is <br />610 feet and the required sight distance for a right turn out is 520 feet. Sight lines are considered <br />to be acceptable due to no horizontal and minimal vertical curves within the sight triangles. <br />H:\RAMS\0R1124780\2_Preliminary\C_Reports\2021-06-21_Trott Brook Traffic Analysis.docx <br />BcLtarb & Menk is an egLal opportunity e!-r!pLLyei. <br />
