Inc. FROM: James A. Benshoo~~~ RE: TraFFic Study For Proposed Everest Plaza OFFice Development in City of Rosevil Ie PURPOSE AND CONCLUSIONS The purpose of this memorandum is to document the results or the traFFic analysis we have completed For the proposed Everest Plaza oFFice development. The key point we have addressed in the analysis is whether the roadway system could eFFectively accommodate the development traFFic. To FulFil I this objective. we collected pertinent data on traFFic and roadway characteristics. Forecasted the develop- ment traFFic, and analyzed the impacts of the development traFFic. Major conclusions From the analysis are as Follows: would be at the Haml ine Ave. and would occur at the intersection. Primary access For the development existing signal ized intersection of Commerce St. A second access point existing Haml ine Ave./Sandhurst Dr. Al I major intersections on Haml ine Ave. that would be aFFected by the development would accommodate the pro- jected post-development volumes within acceptable levels of service. The intersection of Hamline Ave. and County Rd. B-2 meets the peak hour warrants For traFFic signal control without or with the development. The County should assess the potential need and justiFication For instal- lation of a traFFic signal at this intersection. The two site access points proposed wi I I provide eFfec- tive trafFic saFety For three reasons: they are located at established publ ic street intersections the primary access point already has traFfic signal control the two access points replace eight existing curb cuts along the subject Frontage of Ham! ine Ave.
