Project BanjoTraffic Study Regional Analysis AddendumApril 22, 2022 Page 10 Background Growth To account for general background growth in the study area, an annual growth rate of 1.5percent was applied to the existing traffic volumes to develop year 2025 and 2040background traffic forecasts. This growth rate is based on a combination of historical average daily traffic (ADT) volumes published by MnDOTand traffic forecasts identified within the Anoka County Transportation Plan, Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan, and the 2020 I-35E Corridor AUARUpdate. This growth rate is lower than the annual three (3) percent growth rates within these plans, but was reduced given this study directly accounts for adjacent developments as noted earlier. Trip Generation Given the proposed land use, the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) does not have a sufficient amount of comparable data. Therefore, trip generation data for the proposed development provided by the project teamwas used. The data provided reflects the operational characteristics of the site, including employee vehicles, trucks, and van activity. As noted earlier,peak activity of the site is expected to occur between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m., with limited activity during traditional a.m. and p.m. peak hours which are 7:15 to 8:15 a.m. and 4:30 to 5:30 p.m., respectively. Table 5 provides a summary of the existinga.m., midday (i.e., facility), and p.m. peak hour trip generation for the site, in addition to daily activity. The proposed developmentis expected to generate 10 a.m. peak hour trips, 430 midday peak hour trips, 120 p.m. peak hourtrips, and 1,935 daily trips. A detailed breakdown of the expected trip generation by time of day and vehicle typeis provided in the Appendix. Table 4 also provides atrip generation estimate during the seasonal peak of the proposed development, which generally occurs in November and December. It is important to notethat there are logistical capacity constraints within the development which limits the trip generationpotential of the facility. Thus,the peak trip generation of the facility, which occurs during the midday peak hour, does not increase during the seasonal peak. However, the seasonal peak trip generation spreads into other hours of the day, which is reflected in the increase in trip generation during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours of the adjacent roadways.
