CLOUD <br /> <br />8RAINERD <br /> <br />Traffic Analysis for Elk River Station <br /> <br />Introduction <br /> <br />Elk River Station is a proposed mixed-use development next to the existing transit station <br />located along Tyler Street. The purpose of this memorandum is to summarize a traffic analysis <br />conducted to assess potential impacts of the Elk River Station development. The concept plan <br />for the development is shown in Exhibit 1. The proposed development consists of property east <br />and west of Tyler Street, as summarized below. The portion of the site west of Tyler Street is <br />immediately adjacent to the transit station. <br /> <br />Area East of Tyler Street <br />300 Townhomes <br /> 60 Apartment Units <br />5,000 SF Daycare <br />70 Cooperative Senior Living Units <br />20,000 Square Feet of Retail Space <br />22,000 Square Feet (total) of Office Space <br /> <br />Area West of Tyler Street <br />8,000 Square Foot Restaurant <br />20,000 Square Feet of Office Space <br />12 Fuel Position Gas & Convenience Store (with a Car Wash) <br /> <br />Tyler Street is a four lane, divided roadway with turn lanes at key intersections. The portion of <br />the site east of Tyler Street is proposed to be served with two internal roadways. The <br />southernmost of these roadways lines up opposite of the south transit station access and will be <br />a full movement intersection. The northerly access on the east side will be a right in/right out <br />only access point. Further north there is a second access to the transit station to the west of <br />Tyler; this transit access point does not serve Elk River Station movements on the east side of <br />'Tyler. <br /> <br />Trip Generation <br /> <br />The daily, A.M. peak hour and P.M. peak hour traffic forecasts for the site are summarized on <br />Table 1. The site is expected to generate approximately 530 total A.M. peak hour trips and 670 <br /> <br />Westwood Professional Services, Inc. 1 <br /> <br />August 2002 <br /> Designing the Future Today...since 7972 <br /> <br /> <br />
