Kimley>))Horn Fairview Avenue & County Road 132 — During the Saturday peak hour, the eastbound right -turn movement is anticipated to operate at LOS F. Vehicle Queue Deficiencies Vehicle queues were summarized based on the Synch ro/S i mTraff ic analysis, and are provided in the summary table in Appendix D. The analysis compared the anticipated 951h percentile queue to the existing storage provided at the turn lanes. Following provides a list of turn lane deficiencies, where the 95th percentile queue exceeded the provided storage by at least 25 feet (one vehicle length): Fairview Avenue & TH 36 (WB) —The northbound left -turn and right -turn lanes exceed the provided storage, due to the through lanes spilling back beyond entry into the turn lanes. Fairview Avenue & Mall Entrance #1 — The southbound left -turn lane is anticipated to exceed the provided to storage: however, extending the turn lane is limited by the northbound left -turn lane at the intersection of Fairview Avenue & County Road 32. Fairview Avenue & County Road 132 — The westbound left -turn lane is anticipated to exceed the provided storage: however, the extending the left -turn lane is limited by the eastbound left -turn lane at the intersection of County Road 32 & Mall Entrance #2. County Road 132 & Mall Entrance #2 — The eastbound left -turn and right -turn lanes are anticipated to exceed the provided queue, however, there is no opportunity to provide more storage due to its proximity to Fairview Avenue. The westbound left -turn lane is anticipated to exceed the provided storage by 30 feet, however, there is no opportunity to provide more storage due to the proximity of the signalized intersection to the east. County Road 132 & Mall Entrance #3 —The westbound right -turn lane is anticipated to exceed the provided queue, this is due to the westbound through queue spill back beyond the entry into the right - turn lane. County Road 132 & Snelling Avenue NB — The southbound queues are anticipated to spill back to where the left and right turn lanes start, however, it is not anticipated to spill back into the Snelling Avenue travel lanes. SHORT-TERM BUILD (2024) (W/IMPROVEMENTS) OPERATIONS SUMMARY Due to the failing traffic operations in the 2019 and 2024 conditions, improvements to the traffic network in the study area will be required to help mitigate excessive queuing and delays. Only those improvements that could be implemented without major reconstruction of the roadway and surrounding area were considered as mitigation. The following improvements were assumed for the 2024 build -out year and will need to be explored further with the City of Roseville, Ramsey County, and MnDOT: Fairview Avenue at TH 36 (EB) • Convert the WB right -turn from yield control to a free movement. • Optimize splits and offset for the traffic signal. Fairview Avenue at TH 36 (WB) • Convert the northbound right -turn lane into a third NB through lane. This will require modifying the existing channelized islands on the east side of Fairview Avenue, in addition to the relocation or replacement of the northbound and eastbound approach signal poles and mast arms. • Construct new northbound right -turn lane that serves the on -ramp to TH 36 (WB). • Traffic signal modification. Optimize splits and offset for the traffic signal. Rosedale Center I Traffic Impact Analysis January 2020 Update
