Re: Albertville Marketplace Traffic Review
Introduction
This memorandum provides a summary of information related to the traffic
generation and traffic circulation characteristics of the Albertville Marketplace. The
site is situated in the SE quadrant of the I-94/CSAH 37 interchange in the City of
Albertville. This memorandum has two main sections, one dealing with the
interaction of the site with external operations and the other dealing with internal
operations.
Over the past few years a number of site plans have been advanced, on a conceptual
basis, for this property. For one of those plans, a detailed traffic study was prepared
by the firm of SEH in 2004 and submitted to the City and Wright County for review.
The plan for which the detailed traffic study was conducted was known as the
Christian Commercial (or CC) Development. The traffic study for the CC
Development forms a basis for analyzing the current Albertville Marketplace
proposal.
External Operations: Trip Generation and Previous Analyses
The 2004 CC Development traffic study documented that the expected gross trip
generation for the CC plan was:
6,274 on a daily basis, and
516 on a P.M. peak hour basis.
The SEH report included traffic analyses for the year 2040 to coincide with the
timeframe of the Northeast Wright County Sub-Area Transportation Study.

On October 6, 2004, the Wright County Highway Department prepared a letter
summarizing the County's Traffic Study Review Comments. One of the County's
comments in that letter relative to the site plan was "...that the CC driveway should
beat least 600 feet east of 62°d Street, have two lanes on the access approach to
CSAH 37, and construct an eastbound right turn lane & westbound dedicated left turn
lane."
