00NESOT9 OF TP04 Minnesota Department of "Transportation District 9 3485 Hadley l\\Vnue North. Box 2050 North SI. Paul, Minnesota 55109 May 8, 1984 Honorable Duane W. McCarty Mayor, City of Mounds View I ✓X1rflfJv 2401 Highway 10 Mounds View, Minnesota 55112 Dear Mayor McCarty: SUBJECT: S.P. 6204 (TH 10) In Mounds View Telephone 779-1178 Thank you for your March 14, 1984 letter transmitting the City Council Resolution requesting that Mn/DOT consider approval of a full median crossover between County Road H and County Road H-2. We have evaluated the three access alternatives and the resulting traffic patterns proposed by the Pinecrest Properties. We recognize that development will occur regardless of what type of access is provided, and that the local street system, as well as the trunk highway, will be affected. The first alternative, a full median crossover, will generate a large number of southbound t, eastbound left turns at the new crossover. Traffic is expected to ncrease on County Road H on both sides of T.H. 10. The increase in traffic on County Road H-2 will be less severe than on County Road H. The second alternative, a partial crossover, will require those vehicles desiring to cross T.H. 10 at the new street, to go to County Road H or County Road H-2 and make a left turn. Traffic on County Road H-2 will increase much more than under Alternative 1. The third alternative, no median opening, will increase traffic significantly on both County Road H and County Road H-2. Our analysis showed that the Level of Service at County Road H and County Road H-2 will be F (worst rating) under all three alternatives. While inone of the alternatives provides any significant improvement in intersection capacity, Alternative 1 has the least impact on the transportation system as a whole. An h'qunWhy tmplgrrr
