• Page 6-7 — Functional Classification: The text does a good job describing the functional classification system. Figure 6.3 shows the future functional classification system. It may be helpful to the reader to also include the existing fimctional classification or a map showing the proposed changes. A lot of people are visual and simply listing the proposed changes in functional classification may be difficult for people to follow. • Page 6-9 — "A" minor expanders list CSAH 32 is listed twice. • Page 6-10 — "A" Minor Arterials — CR 53 (Sunset Avenue): The county and the city should discuss the future status of this roadway and where limits of a potential change in designation should occur. • Page 6-11— `B" Minor Arterials — CSAH 34 (Birch Street): For this corridor (not just the portion that is currently a collector, but the whole route) the city may want to consider adding a note to the text that a final functional classification recommendation will come out of the CSAH 34 study. It is possible (even if it is slim) that the roadway could be recommended as an "A" minor arterial. • Page 6-13 — Year 2030 System Needs — County System Improvements: The city and the county should discuss the list as it appears in the plan. There are some routes where the roadway is extremely close to the threshold between a two -lane facility and a four -lane facility. Roadways close to the 10,000 AADT threshold may need more management type activities (e.g., access management, traffic signal location, etc.) rather than expansion. Maybe the text could be softened to state that four -lane facilities should be considered for the following routes and then note that on the future number of lanes map. • Figure 6.4 2030 Forecasts: o The legend includes a symbol for a future full access interchange, but no new ones are shown. Remove from legend. o Do you want to show traffic volumes in the City of Centerville? Other maps in the document blend out anything in Centerville. o We assume that the 60,000 vehicles shown on 20th Ave South are actually for I -35E. o The traffic volumes shown on CSAH 14 through the park may need some placement adjustments. The first number shown on the north side of the park is 14,000. Just south of the first shield the number increases to 15,600. This does not make sense — we don't think that Wargo Nature Center is generating 1,600 trips a day. • Figure 6.5 Future Roadway System: See comment above for Page 6-13. Page 6-16 — First full paragraph: The county is concerned about the text used to describe conditions on CSAH 14. We agree with the notion that there is a limit to increasing capacity on CSAH 14 and that other system changes are needed. Where there is an issue is the text (2nd sentence) that states, "even with the improvements identified above" — does this mean • •
