This development would be located southwest of the intersection of Mississippi Street and Silver lake Road in New Brighton. Access to the site is planned from both Mississippi Street and Silv~r lake Road. The surfaced width of both streets is approximately 45 feet. An additional access from Rice Creek Road is possible if needed. The proposed development includes two buildings to be used as retail stores with a total gross floor area of 50~000 square feet and possibly a steak house with a seating capacity of 94 patrons. The site plan shows a total parking area for 461 cars, not including existing parking for Super Valu. This traffic impact analysis deals with the following questions: . What will be the impact of the traffic generated by the proposed development upon the adj~cent public street system? Will the present street capacity be adequate? Will there be traffic problems at the sit~ entrances? . Does the site plan provide for efficient and safe traffic circulation within the site? Following are the conclusions of the traffic impact analysi's: . The forecasted trips generated by the retail center is 2~000 vehicle trips per day. If the steak house is also developed~ this would gen~rate an additional 400 daily trips. . Silver lake Road presently carries an average daily traffic of 6,000, approximately 33% of its capacity. . After completion of the Rice Creek Plaza, traffic on Silver lake Road is forecasted to be 7~000 vehicles per day. This would be only 39% of the capacity of this street. 1
