The purpose of this study is to <br />determine the traffic impacts on the adjacent roadway system related to the proposed <br />development. This traffic study includes an operations analysis during the p.m. peak hour for <br />existing and future year 2006 build conditions. Its consistency with and impact on future <br />highway plans for TH 169 was also reviewed. <br /> <br />Existing Conditions <br /> <br />Traffic operations for existing conditions were analyzed at the following key intersections: <br /> <br />· TH 169 and 197th Avenue <br /> <br />· TH 169 and 193rd Avenue/Jackson Street <br />· 197th Avenue/Irving Street <br />· Jackson Street/Holt Street <br /> <br />Current traffic controls include signalization at each of the TH 169 intersections. The remaining <br />two intersections are unsig-nalized with s/de-street stop control. P.M. peak hour turning <br />movement counts were collected by SRF Consulting Group on Wednesday, December 10, 2003 <br />from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. at all key intersections. The p.m. peak hour was determined to be <br />between 4:15 and 5:15 p.m. Existing geometrics, traffic controls and p.m. peak hour traffic <br />volumes for the key intersections are shown in Figure 2. <br /> <br /> One Carlson Parkway North, Suite 150, Minneapolis, MN 55447-4443 <br />Telephone (763) 475-0010 · Fax (763) 475-2429 · http://www.srfconsultin~.com <br /> <br />An Equal Opportunity Employer <br /> <br /> <br />
