• Northbound left at Mounds View Boulevard & County Road H (AM and PM Peak Hours) • Southbound left at US Highway 10 Ramps & CSAH 96 (AM Peak Hour) • Eastbound left at Mounds View Boulevard & County Road H (PM Peak Hour) 6.2 TRIP GENERATION & TRAFFIC DEVELOPMENT The development plans have not seen any major changes since the 2014 AUAR analysis. The trip generation was reevaluated using the latest 11th Edition of the Trip Generation Manual. The 2014 AUAR analysis analyzed two (2) scenarios, with the trip generation ranging from 41,550 daily trips in the Zoning Scenario to 51,140 daily trips in the Maximum Density Scenario. For the 2024 traffic analysis, a modified Maximum Density Scenario was analyzed, in addition to the Zoning and Maximum Density Scenarios, which replaced some of the general retail space with a discount superstore. This land use typically generates significantly more trips than other retail land uses. Trip generation ranged from 38,048 daily trips in the Zoning Scenario to 49,686 in the Maximum Density Scenario with discount retail, both of which are slightly lower than what was analyzed in the 2014 AUAR Traffic Analysis. The Maximum Density Scenario with discount retail is anticipated to generate 3,783 trips during the AM peak hour and 5,077 trips during the PM peak hour. 6.3 YEAR 2040 NO -BUILD LEVEL OF SERVICE ANALYSIS SUMMARY A capacity analysis was performed for Year 2040 No -Build traffic conditions at the study intersections to determine baseline conditions for the 2040 analysis year. Existing intersection control and geometry was assumed for this analysis. Based on the analysis, all intersections are anticipated to operate at acceptable LOS except for the northbound left turns at CSAH 96 & North Heights which are anticipated to operate at LOS F. No mitigation is proposed, as this is a very minor movement with a volume of less than 20 vehicles during each peak hour. The 951h percentile queue lengths were reviewed, and the following movements are anticipated are anticipated to be at or near capacity in the No -Build (2040) conditions: • Northbound left at Mounds View Boulevard & County Road H (AM and PM Peak Hours) • Southbound left at US Highway 10 Ramps & CSAH 96 (AM Peak Hour) • Eastbound left at Mounds View Boulevard & County Road H (PM Peak Hour) 6.4 ZONING BUILD (2040) LEVEL OF SERVICE ANALYSIS SUMMARY A capacity analysis was performed for the Zoning Scenario Build (2040) traffic conditions at the study intersections to determine if the addition of project traffic significantly impacts operating conditions of the study intersections. The baseline build geometry was assumed at the CSAH 96 & North Heights/TCAAP Access intersection which included signalization, dual eastbound and southbound left turn lanes, and a westbound and Southbound right turn lane. Based on the analysis, all intersections are operating at acceptable LOS with the exception of Mounds View Boulevard & County Road H which is anticipated to operate at LOS E during the PM peak hour. Some of the individual movements including eastbound through and all left turn movements are anticipated to TCAAP AUAR Update I Traffic Analysis April 2024
