Traffic Study <br />Lexington Avenue Reconstruction <br /> <br /> <br />Alliant No. 118-0186.0 23 <br />April 18, 2019 <br />3.3 Traffic Forecasts <br />After consultation with Ramsey County staff, an annual background growth rate of 0.5 percent <br />was applied to existing traffic volumes to provide a conservative estimate of future year 2040 <br />conditions. The resultant forecast year 2040 traffic volumes, a combination of background growth <br />and Lexington Station – Phase 3 trips, are shown in Figure 8. The existing and forecast approach <br />volumes on each leg of several Lexington Avenue study intersections are shown in Table 6. <br />Table 6.
