Adelaide Landing Residential Development 1/31/2017 <br />Traffic Impact Analysis <br />concept will be added to MnDOT Metro's fiscally constrained 20-year <br />Transportation System Plan <br />MnDOT's State Highway Investment Plan: 2014-20334 describes identified and prioritized <br />projects versus the twenty-year funding outlook. No project along this segment of TH 61 is <br />identified in the twenty-year plan. An appendix of this plan, however, includes a Project List <br />of Unmet Needs, which_ identifies US 61 among several routes in the Twin Cities Metro Area <br />that is a traffic congestion bottleneck. While not explicitly stating this portion of TH 61, the <br />list states that these projects, if funded, offer a, "...High return on investment capacity <br />enhancements and spot improvements (e.g., interchange reconstruction, auxiliary lanes and <br />other improvements". <br />Further, the 2016 Capital Improvement Program for the City of Hugo identifies <br />reconstruction of 130th Street between TH 61 and Goodview to Collector Standards as being <br />a Priority 2 project.' <br />Pedestrian Access & Crossing Considerations <br />The area surrounding the proposed Adelaide Landing has been identified in the City of Hugo <br />Comprehensive Plan as having existing or proposed sidewalks and trails. <br />There exist sidewalks along 140th Street east of TH 61 and along Fray Avenue south <br />to the Adelaide Landing development. <br />There is a planned City Trail along 130th Street from TH 61 westward to Goodview. <br />This trail will connect with a proposed trail northward and southward along <br />Goodview. <br />There is a planned Regional Trail along the west side of TH 61 between 130th Street <br />and 140th Street. This regional trail will provide regional pedestrian and bicycle <br />access to areas north and south of the development. <br />A snowmobile trail also existing on the west side of TH 61 through Hugo and <br />beyond. <br />A trail system is proposed in the Adelaide Landing development connecting lots on the <br />north end of the development to those on the south end and connecting to the proposed <br />park in the middle of the development. The trail system will meander between ponds and <br />behind residential lots to provide pedestrian access and connectivity throughout the <br />neighborhood. <br />4 20-Year State Highway Investment Plan: 2014-2033, Minnesota Department of Transportation, December 2013. <br />' 2016 Capital Improvement Program Proposed Street Improvement Locations Map, City of Hugo, MN, June 22, <br />2016. <br />26 Westwood <br />
