18. Transportation <br />a. Describe traffic -related aspects of project construction and operation. Include: 1) existing <br />and proposed additional parking spaces, 2) estimated total average daily traffic generated, <br />3) estimated maximum peak hour traffic generated and time of occurrence, 4) indicate <br />source of trip generation rates used in the estimates, and 5) availability of transit and/or <br />other alternative transportation modes. <br />b. Discuss the effect on traffic congestion on affected roads and describe any traffic <br />improvements necessary. The analysis must discuss the project's impact on the regional <br />transportation system. <br />If the peak hour traffic generated exceeds 250 vehicles or the total daily trips exceeds <br />2,500, a traffic impact study must be prepared as part of the EAW. Use the format and <br />procedures described in the Minnesota Department of Transportation's Access <br />Management Manual, Chapter 5 (available at: <br />http://www.dot.state.mn.us/accessmanagementlresources.html) or a similar local <br />guidance. <br />c. Identify measures that will be taken to minimize or mitigate project related transportation <br />effects. <br />An updated traffic study is included in Appendix E. <br />19. Cumulative potential effects: (Preparers can leave this item blank if cumulative potential effects are <br />addressed under the applicable EAW Items) <br />NA to AUAR <br />20. Other potential environmental effects: If the project may cause any additional environmental <br />effects not addressed by items 1 to 19, describe the effects here, discuss the how the environment <br />will be affected, and identify measures that will be taken to minimize and mitigate these effects. <br />No additional environmental effects have been identified. <br />1-35E Corridor AUAR Update <br />April 15, 2020 <br />Page 10 <br />
