If a north-south connection is extended north of CR 96 to CR I, a new lane configuration is recommended to be built for the southbound movement at the intersection of this connection and CR 96. . hnprovements to Lexington Avenue, Guidant Drive South, Hamline Avenue and West Floral Drive are not recommended due to low cross street volumes and signal spacing constraints. Future Build Conditions Traffic Forecasts/Trip Generation The traffic analysis for future (2005 and 2020) Build conditions incorporates the background traffic growth assumptions used in the No-Build analysis plus estimated trips that will be generated by the proposed Guidant Campus expansion. The 1997 ITE Trip Generation manual was used as the basis for trip estimates. With the additional office/limited industrial space to be added to the campus in 2005 (phase I), there will be approximately 1,893 total trips in the A.M. peak and 1,8l9 trips during the P.M. peak by comparison to the existing (2002) and 2005 No-Build 1,541 A.M. peak and 1,401 P.M. peak total trips. ln 2020, (full build-out scenario), the additional office/limited industrial space will result in approximately 3,261 total trips in the A.M. peak and 3,120 total trips during the P.M. peak. The directional trip distribution for the site-generated traffic was determined based on information provided by Guidant on current employee home addresscs and likely travel routes for those employees as well as actual traffic counts and the regional travel demand model that is based on individual cities' planned growth. The 2005 site trip distribution during the A.M. peak hour estimates 47.9 percent of the trips to the campus originate from the north and 52.8 percent originate from the south. During the P.M. peak hour, 59.2 percent of the trips leave the campus and travel south and 41.5 percent travel to the north. The 2020 site trip distribution during the A.M. peak hour estimates that 48.0 percent of the trips to the campus originate from the south and 52.7 percent originate from the north. During the P_M_ peak hour, 59.5 percent of the trips leave the campus and travel south and 4l.l percent travel to the north. Projected 2020 Build ADT volumes are as follows: . CR F ~ 15,100 ADT CR 96 = 26,1 00 ADT . Hamline Avenue = 16,000 ADT Lexington Avenue = 24,400 ADT 1-694 = 135,000 ADT Guidant Campus Master Plan Final AUAR and Mitigation Plan - 35 - January 2003
