r • Identify pedestrian and bicycle connections within the study area and to surrounding neighborhoods and regional systems; • IdentifY those tasks that need to be carried out as a result of the adoption of this plan. 110 B. Project Area Description General Location The Section 9 study area encompasses approximately 33 acres along Trunk Highway 10 (TH 10) between County Road I and Silver Lake Road. The location map on page _ indicates the study area. Topography and Natural Resource Base Section 9 of the TH 10 corridor derives much of its character from a significant natural resource, that being the large wetland area along the south side of the roadway. The balance of the undeveloped portion of the study area is sparsely treed with little topographic relief. Transportation and Circulation No single component has as dramatic an impact on the redevelopment of Section 9 as p p does the TH 10 roadway. TH 10 carries traffic volumes of 40,000± Average Daily Trips (ADT) between Silver Lake Road (4,950 ADT south of TH 10) and County Road I (5,125 south of TH 10 and 5,800 ADT north of TH 10). Both Silver Lake Road and County Road I serve to feed local traffic to the higher level TH 10 roadway. Red Oak Drive and Sunnyside Avenue, two local streets within the study area, offer direct access to TH 10. The intersection of TH 10 and Red Oak Drive is signalized as is the TH 10/County Road I intersection. Eastwood Road is another local street along the east boundary of Section 9; however, direct access from Eastwood Road to TH 10 is not possible due to configuration of the TH 10/County Road I/Eastwood Road intersection. A number of properties enjoy direct access to TH 10 within Section 9, and it is anticipated that in light of current and projected traffic volumes as well as future roadway improvements, additional access points along TH 10 are highly unlikely. TH 10 is scheduled for turnback to County jurisdiction at some point in the future; however, such an action will not create additional opportunities for direct access to TH 10. The City of Mounds View Comprehensive Plan should be referenced for more detailed information on each of these and other surrounding roadways.
