<br />Current Physical Conditions <br /> <br />Number <br />4 <br />2 <br />1 <br />2 <br /> <br />Element <br />l2-foot driving lanes <br />2-foot gutters <br />l8-foot shared left-turn lane <br />Boulevards <br /> <br />Dimensions <br />48 <br />4 <br />18 <br />13 to 17 <br />(6,,5 to 8.5 each) <br /> <br />Current Traffic Conditions <br /> <br />The three major roadways within the study area, all designated as minor arterials, are <br />County Road E (Ramsey County State Aid Highway 15), Lexington Avenue (Ramsey <br />County State Aid Highway 51), and Minnesota Trunk Highway 51. The rest of the <br />roadways within the study area are city streets. Existing traffic control, speed limits, and <br />travel lanes are shown on Figure 2-1 for each study intersection. No roadway <br />improvements are scheduled near the site. <br /> <br />Metro Transit routes 225 and 261 travel along County Road E through the study area and <br />on Lexington A venue north of the study area. Route 261 also travels along Lexington <br />A venue through the study area. There are no major bus stops within the study area, but <br />bus service is available during the day time hours. <br /> <br />There are intermittent trails and sidewalks for pedestrians through the study area. The <br />sidewalks along County Road E are interrupted by many driveways that serve the local <br />businesses. There are bicyclists who use the corridor both on street and along the <br />trails/sidewalks. The County Road E / Highway 51 interchange provides a significant <br />barrier for pedestrians and bicycles who want to move along the County Road E corridor. <br />The bridge over Highway 51 does not have sidewalks or on street bicycle lanes. <br /> <br />Traffic Volumes <br /> <br />In commercial/retail areas, such as the County Road E corridor, the p.m. peak hour is <br />typically more congested than the a.m. peak period. For this reason, the analysis in this <br />study focuses on the p.m. peak hour. Figure 2-2 shows the existing p.m. peak hour <br />turning movement counts for the study area. The data for the street intersections was <br />collected in 2008 and the turning movement count data is contained in fifteen mnute <br />intervals in the Appendix. The turning movement volume data for the County Road E / <br />Arden Plaza driveway intersection is from the 2007 Traffic and Parking Study for <br />Proposed Redeveloplnent of Arden Plaza. No turning movement volumes are shown for <br />the Holiday Inn site because it is currently vacant and will be completely redeveloped. <br /> <br />Please note the traffic volumes do not balance between the study intersections because <br />there are driveways and ancillary intersections between them. <br /> <br />The historic daily traffic volumes for the area roadways are shown in Table 2-1. This <br />data was furnished by MnJDOT. <br /> <br />7 October <br /> <br />The New Lake Johanna Boulevard 2-17 <br />
