City of Arden Hilts-Comprehensive Plan - DRAFT <br /> Forecasted Traffic Volumes & Capacity Needs <br /> In the City of Arden Hills, the major roadways carrying traffic are county and state <br /> roadways, ranging from arterials to collectors. The City roadways are primarily local <br /> city streets that only carry local traffic. Generally, the roadways in Arden Hills serve <br /> areas that are fully developed, and the land use patterns in Arden Hills are not <br /> expected to significantly change, except on the TCAAP property. However, an <br /> increase in traffic on these corridors is expected due to the future growth in the <br /> northern part of the City and the future growth in adjacent communities. The existing <br /> pattern of rights-of-way and development setbacks present challenges for <br /> significantly improving the existing level of service on some roadways through <br /> roadway capacity improvements. <br /> The forecasted 2030 average annual daily traffic volumes are illustrated in Figure <br /> 4.7— 2030 Forecasted Average Daily Traffic Volumes and also in Appendix A. <br /> The following roadway improvements that directly impact Arden Hills are in the State <br /> and County Transportation Improvement Programs: <br /> 2009: CSAH 96 from Old Highway 8 to TH 10 - Reconstruction <br /> 2012: 1-694 from East of 1-35W to East of Lexington Avenue — Grading, <br /> surfacing, and improvement from a 4-lane freeway to a 6-lane freeway and <br /> correction of weave at TH 10/51 <br /> Deferred from Ramsey County 5-Year TIP: County Road D from Cleveland <br /> Avenue to Fairview Avenue - Reconstruction <br /> The forecasted average annual daily travel demands approach or exceed daily <br /> capacities on several corridors. Based on 2030 traffic projections, the following <br /> roadways are anticipated to be periodically congested, near congested, or <br /> congested: <br /> Level of Service C— Periodically Congested <br /> • TH 10 from CSAH 96 to 1-694 <br /> • CSAH 51/Lexington Avenue from CSAH 96 to CR F <br /> • CSAH 51/Lexington Avenue, North of Tanglewood Drive <br /> • CSAH 96, East of TH 10 <br /> • CR E from TH 51 to CSAH 51/1-exington Avenue <br /> • CR E from CSAH 76/Snelling Avenue to CR 99 <br /> • CR E2 from CSAH 76/Snelling Avenue to 1-35W <br /> • CR I from 1-35W to CSAH 51/1-exington Avenue <br /> DRAFT 76 <br /> 3/14/2008 <br />
