Mr. Karl Keel July 6, 1988 Page #2 VOlumes on County Road C2 east of Snelling Avenue are ~urren~ly approximately 1,700 A.D.T. This volume has a\go remained constant between 1,500 and 1,700 since 1976. 7he traffic volume west of Hemline Avenue is ap~r~~!~=t:l~ l,~vO una nas been f1uvtuu~~ng oetween 1,200 and 1,600 aince 1974. The VOlumes east of Ham1ine Avenue are approximetely 600 indicating a relatively low volume of traffic. The draft report of the traffic study of the Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area indicates a significant volume of traffic on County Road C primarj ly betTJean Cleveland Avenue and Snelling Avenue. Volumes on County Road C~/Terrace Drivd are significantly less. As an example, peak hour volumes eastbound on County Read C at Snelling Avenue are projected to be almost 1,900 per hour in the year 2000 while similar eastbound traffic at County Road C2 at Snelling Avanue are less ~han 250 vehicles. The traffic study for the Twin Lakes Ar&8 does not indicate a great trip desire to the Roseville and Shoreview areas near Lake O',,&sso. Thus, there js very little traffic assigned to County Road C2 or to Lexington Avenue north from the area. Volumes projected to County Road C east of Snelling Avenue are also substantially reduced [rom those west of Snelling Avenue. Thus it appears that County Road C east of Snelling Avonue has adequate capacity. It is anticJ.pated that the 321 dwelbng units comprising the rental community would generate approximately 1,900 vehicle trips per day. A~cess from the development is proposed to use either Lexington Avenue or County Road C2. It is anticipated that approximately 65 percent of the traffic will travel south to County Road C, Highway 36, Lexington Avenue, or other major streets. ripproximately 35 percent will travel north using either Te~ington Avenue or Hamline Avenue. The daily volume generated to the north whIch could utilize County Road C2 is therefore relatively small. Witn County Road e2, it io anticipated there would be approximately 285 addi tional vehicles from the development on County Road C2 at Lexington ~~enue and 380 additional vehicles at Hemline Avenu~. Tra~fic generated by tho reta~l devAlopment ~ssociated with the rental development is a"ticipatcd to use either Woodhil1 Drive, CJ.vic Center Drive, or Lexington Avenue. VOlumes utilizinq County Road C2 should be insigoJ.ficaot.
