I21T <br />TEM RANSPORTATION <br />Mitigation Strategies <br />The City will: <br />21.1Create a monitoring program thatclosely evaluates traffic impacts from proposed <br />developments within the AUAR area. <br />21.2Implement traffic mitigation measures as development occurs within the AUAR <br />area. Specific mitigation measures for the three development scenarios are <br />discussed in Item 21 and depicted on Figures 21-8, 21-9, and 21-10.These <br />mitigation measures improve overall traffic operations for the respective <br />development scenarios. The improvements are intended to represent the <br />minimum level of infrastructure investment thatwould be needed to meet <br />acceptable level of service standards. Additional roadway and non-motorized <br />improvements, beyond the minimum level, may be identified to accommodate <br />specific development needs that are identified within the AUAR area.” Primary <br />improvements, regardless of land use scenario, include: <br />21.2.1.Develop frontage road system in compliance with local, county and state <br />access management guidelines to serve local and regional traffic. <br />21.2.2Work with appropriate road authorities to reconstruct and provide <br />additional capacity for CSAH 21. <br />21.2.3Work with appropriate road authorities to construct Northerly Bypass with <br />new interchanges at I-35W and I-35E (80th Street East) to improve traffic <br />operations and access to and within the AUAR area. As recommended by <br />FHWA and Mn/DOT, a phasing plan should be established to construct <br />each piece of the Northerly Connector as it becomes necessary to maintain <br />the serviceability of the transportation system. <br />Phase Improvement <br />1.CSAH 14, I-35W to I-35E (funded and programmed for construction) <br />2.CSAH 14, I-35E Interchange <br />th <br />3.CR 140 (80Street )/I-35E Interchange <br />4.CSAH 14 across Peltier Lake (Northerly Bypass/Connector) <br />5.CSAH 14/I-35W Interchange <br />As part of these improvements, the following steps should be taken as the <br />opportunity is presented: <br />Inclusion of the northerly bypass and proposed interchanges in future <br />transportation and comprehensive plans <br />Preservation of right of way through official mapping or other process <br />Right of way dedication through the platting process <br />8 <br /> <br />
