the not'th on Armstrong Blvd., 10% is to/fi'om the east on Industry Blvd., 64% is to/from the souLheast on TH 10, ~md l 6% is to/fi'om the northwest on TH ] 0. In the first scenario, the New Development trips were added [o the baseline volumes to crea~¢ the Build volumes. The Buiid volumes i"or 2007 are shown in Figure 5. To fully analyze the effects of the deve. lopment trai-'fic on thc roadway network, the additional tra]2~c fi'om Town Center I and the proposed Superstom was added to the Builcl ' conditiom Th~ second scenario, with the resulting Full Build volumes ~'ior'2007 ate shown in Figure 6. As tn~fic grows from other developments in R. amsey ~md from additional development in the surrotmdLng communities, baseline traffic is going to ~ow. The traffic growth rote for Anoka County is currently 2.5%, as talcen fi'om the Minnesota Department of Transportation. With the new devel, opment of the Town Center, ii is esximated that the traffic in the surrounding m'ea will grin, v-Paster than 2.5% mf?ter 2007. Th~ third .scenario exponentially grew the 2007 traffic volumes by 3.0% pet' year to develop the 2017 f-brecasted volumes. The development vol'tm-res calculated in the second scenario were then added to the 2017 baseline tr,'tffic. This traffic was then distributed to the proposed 20l 7 roadway netwwrk. The resulting Full Btfild volumes fbr 2017 are shown in Figure 7. Thc fourth scenario exponentially grew the 20I 7 tra]tlSc volumes by 3.0% per year to develop 203~) baseline forecasted volumes and added the development volumes calcutated ir~ d~e second scenario. The 2030 traffic ,,vas reclistribu[ed to the network to account for the sew riv'er crossing. As identified from the MnDOT Northwest A&o'o Corridor a~d River Crox~'i~g Project .5?at~menl. .4t. tgu, rt 2001, it was estimated that the future river crossing would divert 45% ~ffl~e traffic currently using TH 10 east of Armstrong Boulevard to use the new river crossing. Additionally, some of the ta'~'fic that sow lines the T~-[ 169 river crossing [n ~M~oka to access Ramsey to the east on 'I'[q 47, will sow use the-new river crossing. The ADT of the river crossia:~g was estimated to be equal to 43,000 without the developments and 50,000 .wid~ th~ new deve!.opmencs. These Full Build volumes ,we shown in Figure 8, -230- Cio, of l~.tw?,~'ey. .4nokt'~ Count.,. i~inne.s'otdt p~.ge i0 ~j' 2 4
