RYGER TRANSPORTATION FACILITY TRAFFIC STUDY WASHINGTON COUNTY STATE
AID HIGHWAY 21 (CSAH 21; STAGECOACH TRAIL NORTH)
Dear Mr. Richards;
Thank you for forwarding the Ryder Transportation Facility traffic stud to me. w
Y e concur
with the report's conclusion that OSAH 21 has adequate capacity o serve R de p
Y Y rs
proposed facility. we also agree that adequate sight distance exists at the driveway
location,
Our concern with the proposed use of the site is that the traffic enerated b t
g y he proposed
bus terminal is great enough to warrant construction of a right turn lane and a bypass lane.
We assert that a change in th_e use of a particular site giv us, as the responsible p hie road
authority, the right to review access and to require a permit for the new use. We w ould,
as part of the permitting process, require construction of turn and bypass lanes at no cost
to the County.
Please advise us as to the outcome of the Ryder proposal. if ou have an questions Y Y g tons o r
comments, please calf me at (651 ) 430 -
Sincerely,
f f �'�
