ATTACHMENT B <br />CAPACITY / LEVEL of SERVICE AND TRAFFIC FORECASTS <br />The information below is based on a roadway configuration that includes projects in the 1996-1997 <br />Transportation Improvement Program. The 1994 traffic counts were derived from the 1997 base <br />network fi-om the Metropolitan Council Regional Model and cross referenced with existing traffic count <br />data. The 2015 projections were derived from the Metropolitan Regional Model and socioeconomic <br />data fi’om each of the communities in the study area. <br />The followiiig information identifies the main travel demand and operating characteristics and depict the <br />level of service and volumes on key segments. Three alternatives are shown to make comparisons of <br />the No-build, Alternative 6 South, and Alternative 6 North. By providing a cont: oiled-access route <br />through Long I^ke and Orono, travel time savings will be achieved withir. the corridor. Traffic <br />volumes on existing TH 12 decrease somewhat, and the level of service will generally improve, <br />particularly in the hours outside the a.m. and p.m. peak periods. <br />ALTERNATIVE 6: SOUTH of the TRACKS <br />Comparison of Peak Hour Directional Volumes/LOS to Capacity <br />ADT <br />(2015) <br />27,500-31.300 <br />22.400-27,500 <br />Segment <br />Peak Directional <br />Traffic Volume <br />(2015) <br />Peak Direction <br />Capacity <br />(Vehicles/liour) <br />Level of <br />Service* <br />Peak <br />Directional <br />Speed (mph) <br />l.Ci^ofWayzata <br />to Brown Road <br />1.580-2.080 1.750 E-F 25 <br />2.
