Debra Bloom,, P.E. July 13, 2011 <br />City of Roseville Page 22 <br />The proposed profile in the vicinity of the existing retaining wall may drop by <br />approximately 1.6 feet. The slope between the curb and retaining wall will need to be <br />steepened to keep proper cover over the bottom of the retaining wall. The wall should be <br />studied further to determine if the wall bottom would be disturbed during construction, <br />which may require complete wall replacement. <br />• The correction of the vertical curvature to meet 30 mph design speed causes as much as <br />3.2 feet of additional fill to be placed in the low area near Fernwood Street. This causes <br />the need to reconstruct approximately 175' of Fernwood Street to accommodate the <br />additional fill and create an acceptable profile on the cross street. <br />• Driveways in the area should be carefully studied to ensure that acceptable grades and <br />drainage patterns can be met. <br />• Existing storm sewer systems will require reconstruction to accommodate the revised <br />drainage patterns. <br />• The existing sanitary sewer manholes will require reconstruction to meet the proposed <br />grade of the new roadway. <br />• The existing watermain will need to be evaluated as well to determine potential impacts <br />due to change in roadway profile. <br />Based on the analysis, the following conclusions and recommendations are offered for your <br />consideration.- <br />To determine the current travel patterns,, an origin - destination (O-D), study was <br />conducted. The license plate O-D surveys were conducted during the p.m. peak hour <br />(430 p.m. to 530 p.m.), on Tuesday May 24, 2011. <br />Based on the O-D survey data the most affected routes from a volume perspective will be <br />Josephine Road and Woodhill Drive between Hamline Avenue and Lexington Avenue. <br />Josephine Road and Woodhill Drive are expected to see a reduction of approximately 650 <br />and 450 vehicles per day, respectively. This summarizes the potential County Road C2 <br />I <br />connection local changes (approximately 1,100 vehicles per day). <br />In order to understand the expanded attraction this connection may have on the <br />transportation system, if any, the Metropolitan Council Regional Travel Demand Model <br />was used to identify potential pattern shifts from outside of the immediate study area. <br />Based on the Regional Travel Demand Model, approximately 450 vehicles per day will <br />divert from County Road C to use County Road C2. Other regional system travel pattern <br />shifts include a reduction of approximately 350 vehicles per day from other regional <br />routes in the area (i.e., Snelling Avenue, County Road B2, TH 36, County Road E, etc.). <br />Therefore,, the potential County Road C2 connection regional travel pattern shift would <br />be approximately 800 vehicles per day under year 2011 conditions. <br />
