1,950 (east of CSAH 5). The posted speed limit on Sunwood Dr is 30 mph except west of CSAH 5, <br /> where it is 35 mph. <br /> Dysprosium St NW is a two-lane north-south roadway with one lane in each direction. Dysprosium <br /> St NW is classified as a local Road according to the Anoka Functional Classification Map. In 2021, <br /> Dysprosium St NW had an AADT of 3100 vpd, according to the MnDOT Traffic Mapping <br /> Application. The current posted speed limit on Dysprosium St NW is 30 mph. <br /> All other roadways are one-lane roadways with no turn lanes. They are all considered to be local roads by <br /> Anoka County, have no MnDOT count data, and have a speed limit of 30 mph. <br /> EXISTING TRAFFIC VOLUMES <br /> To analyze the traffic operations at the study intersection, weekday and weekend peak period turning <br /> movement counts were collected. The weekend data was collected on 1/29/2023 while the weekday data <br /> was collected on 1/27/2023 except for the intersection of CSAH 5 & Sunwood Dr which was collected on <br /> 1/30/2023.Weekday and weekend data collection occurred on a typical weekday and typical Sunday when <br /> church was in service. Exhibit 2 provides a summary of the weekday AM and PM peak hour turning traffic <br /> volumes. The turning movement count data is provided in Appendix B. <br /> The network AM peak hour was determined to be 7:00 AM to 8:00 AM and the network PM peak hour was <br /> determined to be 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM. The Sunday peak hours were determined to be 12:00pm to 1:00pm. <br /> BACKGROUND GROWTH AND COMMITTED TRAFFIC <br /> The growth rates were calculated using the forecast in the City of Ramsey's 2040 comprehensive plan.The <br /> growth rate was found to be 0.6 % for MN-47, and 0.9%for CSAH 5. These were used to forecast the peak <br /> hour traffic at intersections along these corridors in 2027 and 2040. The rest of the roadways in the study <br /> area are local/fully developed and are thus considered to have a growth rate of 0%. <br /> Exhibit 4 shows the Opening Year No-Build (2027) turning movement volumes and Exhibit 5 shows the <br /> Horizon Year No-Build (2040)turning movement volumes. <br /> PEDESTRIANS AND BICYCLES <br /> There are existing pedestrian facilities/trails on both sides of Sunwood Dr, Dysprosium Rd and CSAH 5. <br /> MN-47 has a pedestrian/bicycle path on its east side only. There are marked crosswalks at all intersections <br /> that the pedestrian paths cross, as well as push-buttons at both of the stoplight controlled intersections. <br /> PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT <br /> SITE TRIP GENERATION <br /> The trip-generating potential of the proposed development was calculated using the Institute of <br /> Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, Eleventh Edition. Standard ITE trip rates were <br /> used to develop the anticipated total trips generated by the site. <br /> The average rate for ITE Land Use Code (LUC) 221 (Multifamily Housing), ITE LUC 251 (Senior Adult <br /> Housing -Single-Family), and ITE LUC 252 (Senior Adult Housing - Multi-Family)were used to calculate <br /> the trip generation potential of the site. Table 1 provides a summary of the number of trips anticipated to <br /> be generated during the weekday AM and PM peak hours, including internal capture and pass-by reduction. <br /> Haviland Fields-Ramsey, MN <br /> Traffic Impact Analysis I July 2023 <br />
