Debra Bloom,, P.E. City of Roseville Attachment C February 22, 2011 Page I I There are also pedestrian crosswalks located along Josephine Road at Ha line Avenue, Fernwood Street,, and Lexington Avenue. These crosswalks provide adequate connections to area schools, parks, and trails. No other pedestrian accommodations are currently recommended. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Based on the analysis, the following conclusions and recommendations are offered for your consideration.- • Results of the existing operations analysis indicate that all key intersections currently operate at an acceptable overall LOS A during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours with existing traffic control and geometric layout. All side-street delays are considered acceptable and do not require mitigation. • The proposed development site, currently vacant, will be converted to a 28-unit single-family residential development. Access to the development will be provided via new roadways that will connect with County Road C2 to the east and Fernwood Street to the west. Based on existing area growth patterns and historical average daily traffic (ADT) volumes, an annual growth rate of one percent was applied to the existing peak hour volumes to develop year 2013 background traffic forecasts. As part of the proposed development, new roadway connections will be constructed at County Road C2 to the east and Fernwood Street to the west. o Based on the observations completed during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours, approximately 110 vehicles per day (vpd) may change their travel pattern from Josephine Road to the proposed roadway connection and County Road C. Results of the year 2013 build operations analysis indicate all key intersections will continue to operate at an acceptable overall LOS A during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours with the existing geometric layout and traffic control. Impacts to side-street delays at the key intersections will be minimal and no queuing issues are expected. Eliminate the cul-de-sac located at the proposed roadway connection with County Road C2 to reduce driver confusion and improve safety o Requires modification of existing driveways located along the cul-de-sac Ensure proper traffic controls are installed at the new internal intersection within the proposed development o The eastbound movement should be stop controlled • Install traffic control at the Fernwood Street and Merrill Street intersection (currently uncontrolled) o The eastbound movement (Merrill Street) should be stop controlled Extend the proposed trail along the north side of County Road C2 to Merrill Street or provide a pedestrian ramp to County Road C2 near the western property line of the proposed development H:\PrQjects\7366\TS\Report\l 102227366 Draft Pull e Homes—Roseville Traffic Stu. y.doc Page 11 of 11
