Walmart (Store #3404-05) Traffic Impact Analysis Roseville, Minnesota Introduction Walmart Stores, Inc. is proposing the construction of a new store, number 3404-05, in the northeast quadrant of the intersection of County Road C W, also known as County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 23, and Cleveland Avenue N (CSAH 46) in Roseville, Minnesota Figure 1 (see). The project is anticipated to be completed by the year 2013, and will include retail and grocery land uses on undeveloped property. In the longer term, two restaurants are proposed for the outlots in the northwest and southwest corners of the site, Figure 2 respectively. The proposed development site plan is shown in. The purpose of this report is to document the anticipated traffic impacts that the change in land use at the proposed Walmart site will have on the surrounding roadway network intersections. This traffic impact analysis (TIA) represents a review of traffic impacts of the project, based on land use and site plan information, and is intended to identify the key traffic issues associated with the project. This TIA documents the existing traffic conditions in the vicinity of the site, estimates the traffic anticipated to be generated by the project, distributes and assigns these trips to the adjacent roadway system, and evaluates the traffic operations of key intersections near the site and those providing access to and from the site. In order to have a basis of comparison, a “no-build” analysis was completed for each future scenario that includes the general background growth on the adjacent roadways as well as traffic generated by other possible development adjacent to the project. Based on the analysis, the TIA evaluates roadway and/or traffic control mitigation measures to accommodate future traffic levels in the system and whether these mitigation measures are triggered by background growth or the proposed project. 1 July 2011
