Mr. Michael Grochala <br />April 8, 2020 <br />Page 6 <br />K:\015144-000\Admin\Docs\AUAR - Update 2020\Traffic\MEMO - 040820 - Transportation.docx <br />Review and Update of the Mitigation Plan <br />The table below provides the mitigation plan for Transportation. These mitigation measures have been reviewed and revised as needed for <br />this AUAR Update. <br /> <br />Table 7. Transportation <br />Item No. Mitigation Description Update <br />21.1 Create a monitoring program that closely evaluates traffic impacts from proposed <br />developments within the AUAR area. <br />Traffic Impact Studies are required for <br />proposed developments showing the <br />impact on the transportation system and <br />consistency with the AUAR. <br />21.2 Implement 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 that would 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 /> <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 /> <br />21.2.2 Work with appropriate road authorities to reconstruct and provide <br />additional capacity for CSAH 21. <br /> <br />21.2.3 Work with appropriate road authorities to construct Northerly Bypass <br />with 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 each <br />piece of the Northerly Connector as it becomes necessary to maintain the <br />serviceability of the transportation system. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />CSAH 14 improvement was completed in <br />2009 and noted in the 2010 AUAR <br />Update <br /> <br />CSAH 54 with CSAH 14 (formerly CSAH <br />21) 20th Avenue North intersection <br />improvements were completed and <br />noted in the 2010 AUAR Update. <br /> <br />I-35E Interchange reconstruction was <br />completed in 2011. This mitigation <br />measure is complete.
