Access to the development would be via a road extension of Viking Drive which also serves the Calibre Ridge development. The second access is via a narrow roadway to Minnesota Street which provides alternate access to Rice Street. It is our understanding that the Blimpies Restaurant will be 2,200 square feet in size and have at least 25, and possibly 40, seats. The offices would have a total of 6,800 square feet and occupy the first and third floors. Based on this information, we anticipate that the Blimpies Restaurant would generate 700 vehicle trips per day with approximately 50 in the p.m. peak period and 85 during the noon hour peak hour period. The office building should generate approximately 200 trips per day with 30 in the p.m. peak and 40 in the noon hour peak periods. We anticipate that much of the traffic will be oriented to the Minnesota Street intersection to take advantage of the traffic signal. Inbound traffic may tend to utilize the direct access at Viking Drive more than outbound traffic. Utilizing the distribution estimates and the directional distribution of traffic during the p.m. and noon hour periods, we can estimate the traffic impacts at various intersections. At the Rice Street and Minnesota Street intersection, we anticipate that there will be an additional 23 eastbound to northbound left turns in the noon hour period and 18 in the p.m. peak hour. This will be the heaviest addition to the intersection. Most of the other movements will be relatively small, such as 12 southbound right turns at the noon hour or nine northbound left turns at the noon hour. Based on average signal cycle length, the heaviest impact would be to add approximately one SHORT ELLIOTT HENDRICKSON INC, MINNEAPOLIS, MN ST.
