The main objectives of the study are to review existing operations within the study area, <br />identify any transportation impacts to the adjacent roadway network, and recommend any <br />improvements to address any issues, if necessary. The following information provides the <br />assumptions, analysis, and study findings offered for consideration. <br />Existing Conditions <br />Existing conditions were reviewed to establish a baseline to identify any future impacts associated with <br />the proposed development. Evaluation of the existing conditions includes a review of traffic volumes, <br />roadway characteristics, and an intersection capacity analysis, which are summarized in the following <br />sections. <br />Traffic Volumes <br />Historical vehicular and pedestrian/bicyclist turning movement counts taken during the a.m. and <br />midday peak periods were utilized for the following intersections: <br />Cleveland Avenue and Twin Lakes Parkway/I-35W (July 7, 2016, Collected by MnDOT) <br />Twin Lakes Parkway and Mount Ridge Road (July 10, 2014, Collected by SRF) <br />The intersection turning movement counts were adjusted to account for existing conditions. <br />Observations were completed to identify roadway characteristics (i.e. roadway geometry, posted speed <br />limits, and traffic controls) within the study area.Cleveland Avenue is currently a four-lane roadway <br />within the study area with a speed limit of 40 mph. Twin Lakes Parkway is a four-lane roadway <br />between Cleveland Avenue and Mount Ridge Road, but changes a two-lane roadway east of Mount <br />Ridge Road, and it has a speed limit of 30 mph within the study area. <br />www.srfconsulting.com <br />3701 Wayzata Boulevard, Suite 100 | Minneapolis, MN 55416-3791 | 763.475.0010 <br />Equal Employment Opportunity / Affirmative Action Employer <br /> <br />
