The City of Arden Hills and Ramsey County are also interested in bringing additional transit options to the <br />TCAAP site. Metro Transit’s “A Line” Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service along 46th Street, Ford Parkway, and <br />Snelling Avenue from Minneapolis to Roseville (Rosedale Center) will be open for service in 2015. A future <br />extension of the A Line from Rosedale Center to the TCAAP site is being studied by the Metropolitan <br />Council. <br />Existing Park and Ride Lots: <br />There are two existing park and ride stations along CR H. One is immediately west of I-35W south of CR H, <br />and the other is in the northwest quadrant of CR H at TH 10, also known as the Mermaid Supper Club <br />Parking Lot. <br />Existing Transit Service: <br />The area is currently served by the following transit routes: <br />Route 860 (County Road 10, and accessing the Mermaid Park and Ride) <br />Route 250 (I-35W, and accessing the CR H park and ride) <br />Routes 252 and Route 288 pass the area on I-35W without any stops. <br />Route 261 travels along Lexington Avenue and Tanglewood Drive, to the east of the project boundary. <br />b.D <br />ISCUSS THE EFFECT ON TRAFFIC CONGESTION ON AFFECTED ROADS AND DESCRIBE ANY TRAFFIC <br />.T’ <br />IMPROVEMENTS NECESSARYHE ANALYSIS MUST DISCUSS THE PROJECTS IMPACT ON THE REGIONAL <br />. <br />TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM <br />I250 <br />F THE PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC GENERATED EXCEEDS VEHICLES OR THE TOTAL DAILY TRIPS EXCEEDS <br />2,500,EAW.U <br /> A TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY MUST BE PREPARED AS PART OF THESE THE FORMAT AND <br />MDT’AM <br />PROCEDURES DESCRIBED IN THEINNESOTAEPARTMENT OFRANSPORTATIONSCCESSANAGEMENT <br />M,C5(: <br />ANUALHAPTERAVAILABLE AT <br />://....//.). <br />HTTPWWWDOTSTATEMNUSACCESSMANAGEMENTRESOURCESHTMLOR A SIMILAR LOCAL GUIDANCE <br />Detailed documentation of the traffic forecasts and associated analysis are included in the Traffic Impact <br />Analysis inAppendixDC. The following sections include summaries of the information included in that <br />report. <br />Traffic Forecasts <br />The No Build Year 2030 background traffic forecasts were previously prepared for the Draft TCAAP <br />Redevelopment.Figure T10 shows the peak hour turning movement volumes. Traffic forecasts for the year <br />2030 that include the AUAR study area traffic were developed by adding the AUAR study area generated <br />trips to the future year 2030 background traffic forecasts. Project specific trip generation estimates for the <br />AM and PM peak periods were calculated for each proposed development scenario based on the proposed <br />land use type and size. Trip generation rates from the 9th Edition of the Institute of Transportation Engineers <br />Trip Generation were used to calculate development-generated traffic. A number of assumptions were made <br />related to internal trip capture (trips that are made on-site between the various proposed uses), pass-by trips <br />(trips already existing within the AUAR study area that make use of the proposed AUAR study area <br />development land uses), and mode split (trips by transit, walking, or biking). The trip reductions were based <br />on typical rates found in the general project area, United States Census data, and commuter surveys that <br />showed a reduction of approximately 15 percent of trips due to transit, multi-use, pass-by and internal <br />capture rates. <br />June 2014– Final AUAR29 <br />
