<br />96 <br /> <br />2040 Future Roadway Capacity Improvement Needs <br />To identify the need for potential future capacity improvements, Metropolitan <br />Council 2040 forecasts were compared to planning-level roadway capacities for <br />Principal and A-Minor Arterial Roadways. Planning-level roadway capacities <br />used for this analysis are illustrated in FIGURE 6-13 below. Based on this <br />comparison, all roadways in the City have adequate capacity to accommodate <br />forecasted Metropolitan Council 2040 travel demands. <br />FIGURE 6-13: PLANNING-LEVEL ROADWAY CAPACITY <br />Facility Type <br />Daily Two-way Volume <br />Lower <br />Threshold <br />Higher <br />Threshold <br />Arterials Two-lane Undivided 10,000 12,000 <br />Two-lane Divided or Three-lane <br />Divided 15,000 17,000 <br />Four-lane Undivided 18,000 22,000 <br />Four-lane Divided or Five-lane <br />Undivided 28,000 32,000 <br />Freeways Four-lane Freeway 60,000 80,000 <br />Six-lane Freeway 90,000 120,000 <br />Eight-lane Freeway or Higher <br />Calculated on a <br />segment-by-segment basis <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
