Our analysis a nd study were <br /> summarized in a March 5, 1997 letter. Subsequent to the letter} a question was raised as to the <br /> impact of the potential closing of the median on Snelling Avenue at Oakcrest Avenue* <br /> Our letter indicated that the National Tire Warehouse would generate approximately 400 vehicle <br /> trips per day, with approximately 25 to 30 in the F.M. pear hour. We indicated that most of the <br /> customer traffic would be oriented towards Snelling Avenue. Eased on competition,traffic volumes, <br /> and regional route} we anticipate that approximately 55 percent of the traffic will cone from the <br /> south and 45 percent from the north on Snelling Avenue. <br /> Traffic traveling north on Snelling Avenue, with the median opening at Oakcrest Avenue, can mare <br /> a northbound left turn directl y to Oakcrest Avenue and the frontage road and into the site. If the <br /> median is not open,this traffic could find an alternate route which could consist of exiting at County <br /> Road B2,following County load B2 to Fairview Avenue and then to Oakerest Avenue. Traffic also <br /> has the option to continue north to County Road C,make a U turn, and proceeding south on Snelling <br /> Avenue to Oakcrest Avenue. <br /> Because the alternate route will be difficult to find unless the motorist has traveled that route <br /> previously, we anticipate that about 75 percent of the traffic will opt to use the U turn at County <br /> Road C. With these assumptions, only approximately 51 vehicles per day would travel eastbound <br /> on Oakcrest Avenue to reach the site. This includes both the diverted traffic and employees who <br /> recognize the problems and have made changes in their approach. <br /> SHORT ELLIOTT <br /> HENDRiCKSoN INC.
