1,i�► � Memo 2660 Civic Center Drive Roseville, Minnesota 55113 (651)490-2200 • faz: (651)490-2275 DATE: July 20, 2004 TO: Duane Schwartz, Public Works Director FROM: Debra Bloom, Assistant Public Works Director CC: Neal Beets, City Manager SUBJECT: Traffic Control Plan for Applewood Pointe public streets Background: The owners of the units in the Applewood Pointe Senior Housing are scheduled to move in the first week of August. Until now Arona Street has been closed to thru traffic. As discussed during plan development, the thru access between County Road C-2 and Hamline Avenue is vital to emergency vehicles and traffic operations. As a result, this connection should be opened up this street prior to residents moving in to this development. We also wanted to finalize the traffic control plan for the streets connecting this development. For all stop controlled intersections, we have performed warrant analysis consistent with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Device (MUTCD). Warrant worksheets are attached for these intersections. *proposed number, does not include any traffic from Hamline Avenue area Problem Identification and Recommendations: I wanted to take this opportunity to walk through the different intersections and the traffic control justifications. Attached is a site plan numbered consistent with the discussion below. Arona Street traffic control: the speed limit on this road is established at 30 MPH. Parking is restricted to the bays that have been constructed by the developer. Crosswalks are delineated by stained and impressioned concrete. What follows are recommendations for traffic control on the street. 1. Stop sign at County Road C-2: There is an existing stop sign at the intersection of Arona and C-2. There is a stop condition for northbound Arona Street. Since the traffic counts on C-2 are almost six times as high as the proposed volume of Arona Street, this intersection does not meet warrants for an all-way stop.
