<br />Traffic Plan Summary <br /> <br />Intersection of County Road E, the Holiday Inn Site and the Arden Plaza <br />Driveway <br /> <br />The driveways on County Road E for the Holiday Inn site and the Arden Plaza site will <br />experience significant delay and queuing in the p.m. peak hour even though the overall <br />intersections will operate within traffic engineering standards. This is acceptable as an <br />interim situation because it is not expected to pose a safety problem, little queuing is <br />anticipated on County Road E. Long term, the queuing will impact the vitality of the <br />redevelopments and could lead to safety problems. <br /> <br />These driveways should be realigned midway between Pine Tree Drive and Lexington <br />Avenue to provide a four legged intersection that could be controlled with a traffic signal. <br />Left turn lanes and shared right/through lanes should be built on the new north and south <br />legs of the intersection to provide adequate egress. The signal should be installed when <br />the traffic volumes at the intersection meet the criteria for installing a traffic signal per <br />the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. When the traffic signal is <br />installed at the new intersection it will operate at LOS B in the 2030 Build p.m. peak <br />hour. This leaves capacity to accommodate significantly more redevelopment as long as <br />the traffic from the redevelopment is focused at the signalized intersection. <br /> <br />Short-Term Development Assumptions Used in the Traffic Study <br /> <br />Three short-term redevelopment possibilities were identified through the master planning <br />process. Although redevelopment may occur outside these areas, the traffic study <br />analyzed the effect of redeveloping the Pot 0' Gold, Holiday Inn and northern Arden <br />Plaza properties. These properties may redevelop differently but the below numbers <br />were used to show the impact if they were redeveloped. Specifically: <br /> <br />· The Pot 0' Gold bingo hall was assumed to be replaced with 15,000 square feet of <br />office. <br /> <br />· The former Holiday Inn hotel was assumed to be replaced with 95 apartment units <br />and 120,000 square feet of office. <br /> <br />· The 46,000 square feet of offices on the northern part of the Arden Plaza site was <br />assumed to be replaced with a 14,000 square foot pharmacy and 5,000 square foot <br />retail space. <br /> <br />6-2 The New lake Johanna Boulevard <br /> <br />7 October <br />
