SUMMARY This report presents the results of our detailed traffic and parking analysis for a new Cub Food Store to be located at the Har Mar Mall in the City of Roseville. In addition to addressing the basic traffic and parking characteristics of the Cub Food Store, the report provides a thorough response to traffic and parking questions that have been raised by nearby residents and by the City's traffic consultant, Glen VanWormer of the SEH firm. The five specific issues addressed and the principal results for each are: · Effects regarding traffic conditions on nearby roadways, We have detennined that Snelling Avenue and County Road B will experience only a two to three percent increase in their daily volumes following completion of the Cub Store, which will not cause any significant change in traffic operations along those roadways. Weare confident that no Cub customers from outside the immediate neighborhood area will use local streets to access the Cub Store. · Adequacy of traffic circulation on east side ofHar Mar Mall. We identified several limitations with the existing situation and recommended an improvement plan that will enhance the quality of service for existing users of this portion of the Mall and will effectively accommodate users of the new Cub Store. · Adequacy of traffic operations on entrance to/from Snelling A venue. We developed a recommended improvement plan for this entrance, which, similar to the east side of the Har Mar Mall, will enhance conditions for existing users and will effectively accommodate future Cub users. · Adequacy of operations for trucks. In the process of preparing plans for the Cub Store, careful attention has been paid both to the routing of trucks to and from the store and to the design of the truck delivery area. The entrance and exit routes that have been established for trucks will avoid any significant impacts on users of the Har Mar Mall, The loading docks and other layout features of the truck delivery area have been designed to effectively accommodate truck maneuvers and to provide sufficient space so that trucks will not interfere with nearby traffic circulation. · Adequacy of parking, Through actual parking occupancy surveys on two busy Saturdays, we have determined that the south parking area will provide sufficient spaces to meet the needs of the Cub Store plus to accommodate existing users of the Har Mar Mall who park in this area. Also, we have detennined that the overall number of parking spaces on the Har Mar site will meet City Code requirements after completion of the Cub Store.
