Debra Bloom,, P.E. City of Roseville July 13, 2011 Page 23 The local and regional travel pattern shifts combined together result in a potential diversion of approximately 1,900 vehicles per day under year 2011 conditions if County Road C2 were connected. This results in an existing County Road C2 average daily traffic volume of approximately ,510 between Hamline Avenue and Lexington Avenue. o Josephine Road would have an .ITT of approximately 1,940 o Woodhill Drive would have an .ITT of approximately 1,460 o County Road C would have an .ITT of approximately 8,450 Year 2030 traffic forecasts were developed using a combination of historical area growth, the Regional Travel Demand Model and traffic volumes from the City of Roseville Transportation Plan. Based on this information, an annual growth rate of one and one- half percent was applied to the year 2011 peak hour volumes with and without the County Road C2 connection) to develop year 2030 traffic forecasts. • The local and regional travel pattern shifts combined under year 2030 conditions result in a diversion of approximately 2,600 vehicles per day to County Road C2 for a total projected average daily traffic volume of 3,400. • Josephine Road would have an .ITT of approximately 3,200 • Woodhill Drive would have an .ITT of approximately 2,000 • County Road C would have an .ITT of approximately 11,600 • All key intersections currently operate at an acceptable overall LOS A during the p.m. peak hour without the County Road C2 connection, and with existing traffic control and geometric layout. All side-street delays are considered acceptable and do not require mitigation. Under year 2011 conditions with the County Road C2 connection, all key intersections will continue to operate at an acceptable overall LOS A during the p.m. peak hour with existing traffic control and geometric layout. Side-street delays will increase at the County Road C2 intersections with Lexington Avenue North and Hamline Avenue North. However,, the increase in side-street delays is considered acceptable and does not require mitigation considering year 2011 traffic volumes. Under year 2030 conditions all key intersections will operate at an acceptable overall LOS A during the p.m. peak hour without the County Road C2 connection, and with existing traffic control and geometric layout. All side-street delays are considered acceptable and do not require mitigation. Under year 2030 conditions with the County Road C2 connection,, all key intersections will operate at an acceptable overall LOS C or better during the p.m. peak hour with existing traffic control and geometric layout. The side-street at the Lexington Avenue North and County Road C2 intersection will operate at LOS F with an eastbound side-street delay of approximately two minutes. Side-street delays of this magnitude are generally considered unacceptable to motorists and warrant mitigation.
