§ 544.11. Traffic and parking studies.  


Latest version.
  • Subdivision 1. In review of a project or application, the City may require, at the developer's expense, submission of a traffic and/or parking analysis that is prepared by a traffic engineer. Such analysis shall assess the potential impact of a proposed project on roadways, intersections, and/or on-site parking and circulation.

    Subd. 2. If a traffic study indicates that a proposed project or use will have significant impact on the existing service levels of roadways and intersections, the City may require a "traffic management plan" to mitigate traffic impacts. Such plan may include travel demand management strategies, use of transit facilities, or other appropriate measures to reduce traffic congestion. Such plan may also necessitate improvements to road systems. The developer shall be responsible for installation and expense of necessary road system improvements and pedestrian facilities, and any such improvements shall be constructed and installed according to City specifications.
