(612)332-0421 • Fax: (612� 332-6180 MEMORANDUM TO FROM: COPY TO: DATE: SUBJECT: Debra Bloom, City of Roseville George Calebaugh, SEH David Adams, Parsons John Schupp, Jones Lang LaSalle March 7, 2005 Rosedale Traffic Improvement Plan Parsons has completed a traffic improvement plan to accommodate the projected traffic volumes estimated from a February 23,2005 memorandum titled, "Rosedale Trip Generation" and submitted to the City of Roseville and SEH, Inc. In that memorandum, the trip generation analysis of the Rosedale Mall was conducted for two scenarios. Scenario one consisted of a new anchor tenant occupying the empty Mervyn's building. Scenario two entailed redesigning some of the retail space and replacing some retail space with a movie theater. Figure 1 shows the site plan for scenario two. The trip generation analysis concluded that each scenario produced a similar level of automobile traffic: 844 vehicles for Scenario One and 858 vehicles for Scenario Two. The traffic operation analysis and resulting traffic improvement plan developed based on Scenario Two. The analysis was performed according to 2000 Highway Capacity Manual methodology using SYNCHRO, a traffic signal timing software program, and SimTraffic, a traffic simulation program, both developed by Trafficware. For a detailed description of how the traffic analysis was conducted refer to the "Traffic Impact Study, Rosedale Center Mall Expansion" dated November 24,2004 and submitted by Parsons to the City of Roseville and SEH Inc. This memorandum presents the traffic volumes associated with an unoccupied Mervyn's store and a new anchor tenant or redevelopment of the Mervyn's store. Figure 2 shows anticipated traffic volumes in 2006 with the Mervyn's store unoccupied. The traffic volumes generated from a new anchor tenant or from the redevelopment of the Mervyn's store are shown on Figure 3. Figure 4 shows anticipated traffic volumes in 2006 with the Mervyn's store occupied by a new anchor tenant or the redevelopment of the Mervyn's store. Also presented are the traffic improvements recommended to reduce congestion at intersections surrounding Rosedal� Mall. A traffic improvement plan was developed from the traffic operations analysis based on the "occupied by new anchor" or redevelopment scenario. The recommended traffic improvements are shown on Figure 5. The improvements are listed below for each intersection: • Eastbound TH 36 RamplFairview Avenue o Optimized Cycle lengths, Splits and Offsets o Lagging southbound left turn � � An �quat Opportunity Employer
