I I. way in conjunction with mitigation required for individual parcels being developed in current phases. This would reduce, or possibly completely eliminate, the City's requirements under the I Wetland Conservation Act for wetland mitigation within the District. I Streets I The only existing roadways within the GBD are West Round Lake Road and 13th Street NE. West Round Lake Road is a 24-foot wide, bituminous roadway with no concrete curb and gutter I or storm drainage facilities. A Municipal State Aid Street (MSAS) route has been designated along the entire length of West Round Lake Road, and continues east to Old Highway IO at I Parkshore Drive. The surface of the roadway between Highway 96 and 14th Avenue NE had a pavement condition index (pCI rating) of 88 in 1995, as it was overlaid in 1991 under the City's I pavement management program. The road drains into the MnDOT right-of-way ditch on the west side, and to the south via ditch flow on the east side. Existing drainage appears to be very poor . with standing water in most of the ditches on the east side of West Round Lake Road. Although the road is in good condition, it will require upgrading to allow the levels of truck traffic and .. improved access necessary for the full development of the area. The segment of West Round Lake Road between 14th Street NE and 13th Street NE had a 1995 PCI rating of 30, placing it I well beneath the typical reconstruction cut-off of 60. Thirteenth Street NE is a 32-foot wide bituminous roadway with surmountable concrete curb and I gutter. The street has no existing storm drainage system and drains to the west, again into the 1- 35W right-of-way. The surface of this roadway is in below average condition with a 1995 PCI . rating of 40. Within the scope of this report, the road would require no major improvements until the development concepts of the area south of the Minnesota Transfer rail spur are better defmed. I As a component of this report, current traffic counts and vehicle type distributions were obtained I in order to better evaluate geometric and pavement design requirements. The current average daily trips (ADT) on May 5 and 6 averaged approximately 2,400 vehicles per day. The I distribution of vehicles, however, consists of a larger percentage of high capacity average daily trips (HCADT). This information is helpful in determining current traffic and projecting possible I future growth; however, it will be greatly enhanced with the addition of trip generation information provided by the developer and potential tenants of the developing properties.
