Mr. Reed Sanet -2- June 18, 1986 <br />EXISTING TRAFFIC CONDITIONS <br />In order to establish existing traffic volumes. the City of <br />Roseville and Ramsey County made traffic counts during the <br />period of June 3 - June 10. 1986. The City recorded the <br />traffic volume by hour of the day on Dionne Avenue Just east <br />of Lexington Avenue. The County made counts by hour of the <br />day on Lexington Avenue both north and south of Dionne <br />Avenue. The results are as follows: <br />Q?. ..Ul Gn <br />Dionne Avenue east of <br />Lexington Avenue <br />Lexington Avenue north <br />of Dionne Avenue <br />Lexington Avenue south <br />of Dionne Avenue <br />Weekday <br />Average Volume <br />pwring 5yrvqygrlgd <br />6.200 <br />17.550 <br />18.800 <br />The at>ove volumes have been reviewed from a signal warrants <br />standpo i +nt using TAU 390 of t)1 1 slhed by the Minnesota DePart- <br />ment of Tranivortation.
