Debra Bloom,, P.E. July 13, 2011 City of Roseville Page 4 • Josephine Road and Hamline Avenue North • Hamline Avenue North and County Road C2 • Hamline Avenue North and Lydia Avenue It should be noted that the p.m. peak hour turning movement counts at all key intersections, except the Hamline Avenue North and Lydia Avenue intersection, were collected for the Pulte Homes Traffic Study, dated February 22, 2011. The p.m. peak hour turning movement count at the Hamline Avenue North and Lydia Avenue intersection was completed on May 18, 2011. The key intersections within the study area are currently unsignalized, with side-street stop control. Lexington Avenue North is a three-lane roadway (two-lane roadway with a center two- way left -turn lane (TWLTL)) with a posted speed limit of 4O miles per hour (mph). Hamline Avenue North is a two-lane roadway with a posted speed limit of 35 mph; the other roadways within the study area are two-lane roadways with posted speed limits of 30 mph. Full-access is provided at each key intersection. Year 2011 geometrics, traffic controls, and p.m. peak hour volumes for the key intersections are shown in Figure 3. U7=0 qy'mmm't umwe � To determine the travel pattern shifts a potential County Road C2 connection will have on area roadways, existing average daily traffic volumes were collected. The volumes included a combination of historical and newly collected average daily traffic volumes. Updated average daily traffic volumes were collected the week of May 16, 2011 at the following locations.- • Hamline Avenue North (North of Josephine Road) • Lydia Avenue (between Snelling Avenue and Hamline Avenue North) • County Road C2 (between Snelling Avenue and Hamline Avenue North) • Josephine Road (between Hamline Avenue North and Lexington Avenue North) The updated average daily traffic volumes were used to determine the percent capture for the license plate origin-destination study discussed later in this memorandum. It should be noted that the average daily traffic volumes from the 2009 Minnesota Department of Transportation flow maps were used as the base average daily traffic volumes. Current Travel Patterns To determine the current travel patterns,, an origin - destination (0-D), study was conducted. The goal of the O-D study was to identify the potential travel pattern changes if the County Road C2 connection were constructed. To perform the O-D study, a cordon area was developed around the potential County Road C2 connection area. The O-D study was conducted by recording the location,, time,, direction,, and license plate information for all vehicles that passed each survey location. The license plate O-D surveys were conducted during the p.m. peak hour (430 p.m. to 530 p.m.), on Tuesday May 24, 2011.
