RYDER TRANSPORTATION FACILITY TRAFFIC STUDY, WASHINGTON COUNTY STATE
AID HIGHWAY 21 (CSAH 21; STAGECOACH TRAIL NORTH)

with the report's conclusion that CSAH 21 has adequate capacity to serve Ryder's
proposed facility. We also agree that adequate sight distance exists at the driveway

Our concern with the proposed use of the site is that the traffic generated by the proposed
bus terminal is great enough to warrant construction of a right turn lane and a bypass lane.
We assert that a change in the use of a particular site gives us, as

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 you have any questions or
comments, please call me at (651) 430 -4312.
Sincerely,
