Mr. Michael Grochala <br />April 8, 2020 <br />Page 7 <br />K:\015144-000\Admin\Docs\AUAR - Update 2020\Traffic\MEMO - 040820 - Transportation.docx <br />Item No. Mitigation Description Update <br />Phase Improvement <br />1. CSAH 14, I-35W to I-35E (funded and programmed for <br />construction) <br />2. CSAH 14, I-35E Interchange <br />3. CR 140 (80th Street)/I-35E Interchange <br />4. CSAH 14 across Peltier Lake (Northerly <br />Bypass/Connector) <br />5. CSAH 14/I-35W Interchange <br /> <br />As part of these improvements, the following steps should be taken as the <br />opportunity is presented: <br /> <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 />21.3 <br /> <br />Require a traffic impact analysis for all development projects within the AUAR <br />area. The traffic impact analysis will assist the City and other road authorities in <br />determining the appropriate mitigation measures that are required to mitigate <br />impacts of a specific development proposal. <br />This mitigation measure is ongoing. <br />21.4 Work with appropriate road authorities to mitigate the impact of the additional <br />traffic on the on the regional system, specifically Interstates 35W and 35E, by <br />reconstructing each to provide a six-lane cross-section consistent with the <br />recommendations outlined in the I-35 IRC. It should be noted that it was <br />determined that an expansion will be necessary even without the development <br />scenarios used in this analysis. As the interstates serve a much larger area, the <br />projected growth of the entire Twin Cities region should warrant expansion by <br />the year 2030. <br />This mitigation measure is ongoing. <br />21.5 Prioritize alternative travel modes within the AUAR study area and require <br />project proposers to address alternative travel modes (e.g., buses, bicyclists, <br />and pedestrians) by identifying appropriate accommodations. <br />This mitigation measure is ongoing.
