the north on Armstrong Bird., [0% is to/fi'om the east on Industo' Blvd., 64% is to/from <br />thc southeast on TH 10, and 16% is to/fi'om the northwest on TH 10. <br /> <br />In the Erst scenario, the New Development trips were adcied to the baseline volumes to <br />create the Build volumes. The Build volumes fbr 2007 are shown in Figure 5. To fully <br />analyze the effects of the development traffic on the roadway network, the additional <br />tralt~c fi'om Town Center I and the proposed Superstore was added to the Build <br />c~mdition. Thd second scenario, with the resulting Full Build volumes fbr 2007 am <br />shown in Figure 6, <br /> <br />As traffic grows from other developments in Ramsey rind Ir'om additional development in <br />thc surrounding communities, baseline traffic is going to grow. The traffic growth rate <br />For Anoka County is currently 2.5%, as taken fi'om the Minnesota Department of <br />Tt'ansl2ortati(m. With thc new development of the Town Centex', [I is estimated that the <br />traffic in the surrounding area will grow-Paster than 2,5% after 2007. Th~ third scenario <br />exponentially grew the 2007 traffic vo(umes by 3.0% per year to develop the 2017 <br />fi)rccastcd volumes. The development volumes calculated in the second scenario were <br />tht:n added to the 2017 baseline traffic, This traffic was then distributed to the proposed <br />2017 roadway network. The resul'ting Full Build volumes tbr 2017 are showa ~n Figure <br />7. <br /> <br />Thc fourth scenario exponentially grew the 2017 tr~fic volumes by 3.0°.,/0 per year to <br />develop 2030 baseline forecasted volumes and added the development volumes <br />calculated in the second scenario. The 2030 traffic was redistributed to the trafiic ' <br />network to account for the new river crossing. As identified from the 3~[nDOTNorth~.vest <br />A&lro Cor;qch,' and River Crossing Project Statement, August 2001, it w~s estimated that <br />thc Future river crossing would divert 45% of the traffic currently using TH 10 east of <br />Armstrong Boulevard to use the new river crossing. Additionally, some of the traffic that <br />now uses the 'Ft-[ 169 river crossing in Anoka to access Ramsey to the east on TH 47, will <br />now use the. new river crossing. The ADT of fl-~e river crossing was estimated to be equal <br />to 43,000 without the developments and 50,000.with the new developmentsl These Full <br />Build volumes are shown in Figure 8. <br /> <br />/hd/e bh)me.r De velopmen/ E,4 W <br />r~'ct:[j'ic &~pact Study " <br />Ci0, (~['Ram.~'ey, ,4noka (i'O?l~ty, Minnesota <br /> <br /> pa~,e I0 of 24 <br />Prepared by: <br />Botton & Men/c, &C <br /> <br />115 <br /> <br /> <br />
