Traffic Study Lexington Avenue Reconstruction Alliant No. 118-0186.0 21 April 18, 2019 Results of the trip generation estimates indicate the current Phase 3 development plan is expected to generate approximately 33 a.m. peak hour trips, 106 midday/p.m. peak hour trips, and 1,036 daily trips. To conservatively estimate additional trips generated by Phase 3, trips will not be subtracted for existing land uses to be removed by Phase 3 construction. It should be noted that to provide conservative trip generation estimates for the Phase 3 development, no multi-use or pass-by trip reductions were applied. 3.1.3 – YMCA/Island Lake Golf Course Within the City of Shoreview 2040 Comprehensive Plan, potential redevelopment of the Island Lake Golf Course and the vacant lot adjacent to the YMCA facility at 3760 Lexington Ave is discussed at length, with low to medium-density housing likely being considered. Recent discussions with Ramsey County staff indicate that if the golf course were to cease operations, the associated land would likely remain a park in some capacity rather than being redeveloped. Therefore, as part of the trip generation process, no trips associated with this potential redevelopment were included. 3.2 Trip Distribution and Assignment The distribution of Lexington Station – Phase 3 development traffic was estimated based on the Lexington Station Traffic Study (dated May 20, 2013, completed by SRF Consulting Group) distribution developed for all three phases of development. This distribution was reviewed based on existing traffic volumes/patterns, engineering judgement, and was found to be appropriate for this study. The estimated proposed development directional distribution is shown in Figure 7. Trips were then assigned to study intersections based on this distribution for the forecast year 2040 conditions.
