Introduction <br /> • <br /> On January 5, 1998, the Arden Hills City Council ordered the preparation of a transportation <br /> study to evaluate the possible reconfiguration of the intersection of Highway 96 and Trunk <br /> Highway 10 in the northwest portion of the City. The purpose of the transportation study is to <br /> develop alternatives for the interchange which would maintain adequate access to local residents <br /> and businesses while improving overall traffic flow in the area. Due to the proximity of the <br /> interchange with the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant(TCAAP)property, the analysis also <br /> incorporates the effects that the redevelopment of the TCAAP site would have on the <br /> intersection. <br /> Mapping and other information regarding existing and future land uses, access and routes was <br /> compiled by BRW to generate a predictive traffic model of the area. The model was run <br /> simulating existing conditions as well as three alternative future access scenarios. The results of <br /> the traffic model were then used to determine the likely consequences of the alternative access <br /> scenarios to assist in the decision making process. <br /> A detailed analysis of access ramps and associated construction at the Highway 96/Highway 10 <br /> intersection was made in order to determine the impacts of the accesses with respect to <br /> construction parameters,property acquisition and relocation/modification of other roadways and <br /> utilities. <br /> • BRW also investigated the existing accesses onto Highway 10 north of Highway 96 to determine <br /> whether some improvements would be needed or recommended to be completed in conjunction <br /> with the Highway 96 improvements. <br /> 110 <br /> 1 <br />
