Kimley>Morn Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) is working on the South Campus Master Plan for the Rosedale Center in Roseville, Minnesota (see Exhibit 1). The site is located between Fairview Avenue and Snelling Avenue (TH 51), north of TH 36 and south of County Road B2 W. The South Campus Master Plan includes 250 market rate residential units, 175 active adult housing units, two 150-room hotels, 100,000 square feet of office, and a net increase of 220,000 square feet of retail space (includes 40,000 square feet of entertainment land use). Based on the ITE trip generation calculation, the proposed development is anticipated to add 575 trips during the weekday PM peak hour and 845 trips during the Saturday peak hour onto the surrounding roadway network. These numbers in the proposed retail on the outparcels west of Macy's. As part of the South Campus Master Plan, the existing one-way ring road is proposed to be converted to a two-way ring road. The proposed master plan with two-way circulation provides better circulation for the entire center. The addition of structured parking and multiple access drives for the south side eliminates the long rows of parking that circulate on the ring road. This configuration provides more controlled intersections for vehicles and pedestrian crossings. The structured parking for residential and retail are separated within the structures. Therefore, people will take a more direct route to their parking areas vs circulating long rows to find an open space. It is typical for malls to operate with two-way traffic circulation. Many of the regional malls in the area operate with two-way circulation or are in the process of converting to two-way. The Rosedale Management Team have noted many vehicles going the wrong way on the one-way ring road because people ignore the designed circulation to take the shortest path to open parking spaces or to the nearest mall exit. The traffic study consisted of an analysis of Existing (2019), Short -Term (2024) Background and Build conditions, and Long -Term (2040) Background and Build conditions during the weekday PM and Saturday peak hours at the following intersections: • Fairview Avenue & TH 36 (Eastbound) • Fairview Avenue & TH 36 (Westbound) • Fairview Avenue & Rosedale Center Driveway #1 • Fairview Avenue & County Road 32 W • County Road B2 W & Rosedale Center Driveway #2 • County Road B2 W & Rosedale Center Driveway #3 • County Road B2 W & Snelling Avenue (Southbound) / Rosedale Center Driveway #4 • County Road B2 W & Snelling Avenue (Northbound) • Major Internal Ring Road Intersections Rosedale Center I Traffic Impact Analysis January 2020 Update
