/~)CASE # ] <br /> <br />REPORT ON 171ST TRAFFIC STUDY <br /> By: Steve Jankowski, City Engineer <br /> <br />Not i fi ca ti on: <br /> <br />Mr. Tim Dusbabek, 7821 - 171st Avenue NW, Ramsey, who has requested notification to Bison <br />Street and 171 st., has been notified of this agenda item. <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />In 1993, prior to the paving of Bison Street, a traffic count of 85 vehicles per day was recorded on <br />171st Avenue between Bison Street and Zeolite. In the spring of 1996, following the paving of <br />Bison Street, another 24-hour count was attempted. Two attempts were made to collect counts; <br />however, the tubes were removed both times prior to completion of the 24-hour count period. A <br />neighbor also called to report that he observed a car driving back and forth over the tube while it <br />was in place. <br /> <br />Based upon the above, the use of any information regarding tube counts is highly suspect. A <br />visual observation by an intern was conducted during a two-hour period between 7:00 a.m. and <br />9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, May 7, 1996. The results of this peak morning rush period shows eight <br />vehicles used 17 Ist Avenue and six vehicles used Bison Street north of 171st Avenue. <br /> <br />Observation: <br /> <br />Based upon the above traffic levels, it does not appear that any modification of the existing <br />conditions is warranted. <br /> <br />Committee Action: <br /> <br />Based upon discussion. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />City Engineer <br /> <br />CC: 08/13/96 <br /> <br />Copies also distributed to: <br />City Administrator <br /> <br />/jmt <br /> <br /> <br />
