This volume is expected to increase to 25,750 by the ye~r 2000 according to a previo~s st~~y p~~~cired in 1983 for the Weste~n Tax Increm€~t Financing District. The existing ADT volume 0"-, Long Luke ROc.d along the project frontage is estimated at approximately 5,500. Accarding to the 1983 st.Jdy prepared fc'r the W~stern Tax Increment Finane' ng District, "this ADT VolulT,e can be expected to increase to as iLJch as 1~, 000. This volume represents traffic growth which would occur if ~he deve20pment projects in the TIF District are completed, as well as development oi other sites between T.H. 36 and County Road C. Backgrcund traffic gro~th in general is also represented in the projected ,year 2000) ADT voil.lm,:, along LO:1g Lake Road. Currently the intersection 0... Long Lake Reae;. and County Road C operates at a Level of Service (LOS) of C during the p.m. peak hour. At LOS C, all of the vehicles q~eued at the intersection wiil clear the intersection in a single cycle of the traffic signal, with minor delays for some of the movements. Given the projected increase in p.m. peak hour traffic volumes, the inter- section is expected to ope~ate ~t tos D after complete deve] oprnent of the surrounding area, inel uding the s1 te of tt\e rT~p~~e~ a~t0m~L:Lie dealership. At LOS C, all of the vehicles queued at the intersection will clear during a s~ngle cycle of .the traffic signal; however, delays will be so~ewhat gre~ter than they ere at the preseo<: time.
