TRUNK HIGHWAY (TH) 61 VISIONING STUDY Scope of Work <br />6 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Crash analysis results will be visualized in maps to best illustrate trends and locations with <br />identified safety issues. This will be summarized in the existing and future traffic conditions <br />memorandum. <br />4.5 Pedestrian, Bicycle, and Transit Needs Analysis – Based on a review of existing pedestrian, <br />bicycle, and transit facilities, existing non-automobile travel demand, and surrounding non- <br />motorized activity generators, potential issues related to non-automobile accessibility, comfort, <br />and safety will be identified. This will be summarized in a pedestrian, bicycle, and transit needs <br />memorandum. <br />4.6 Roadway Design Guidance – Using applicable design guidelines, a preferred set of design <br />standards for the TH 61 corridor will be developed. Existing corridor design will then be <br />compared to the recommended standards to identify potential improvements that can be <br />considered in subsequent phases of the project. <br />Based on existing land use, anticipated land use changes, stakeholder input, and issues <br />identified from previous components of Task 4, an access blueprint will be developed. This <br />blueprint is intended to form consensus on a corridor vision as it relates to the desired spacing <br />of primary and secondary access locations. This will be summarized in a roadway design <br />guidance and access blueprint memorandum. <br />Deliverables: MnDOT Daily Average Traffic Data; Maps showing 24-Hour Intersection Turning <br />Movement Data, including truck and pedestrian/bicyclist crossing data; <br />StreetLight data; 2030 and 2040 Forecast Traffic Volumes; Existing and Future <br />Traffic Conditions Memorandum; Pedestrian, Bicycle, and Transit Needs <br />Memorandum; Roadway Design Guidance and Access Blueprint Memorandum. <br /> <br /> <br />Task 5. Corridor Management Concepts, Feasibility Review, and <br />Recommendations <br />Using analysis completed in Tasks 3 and 4 as a basis, a preliminary set of high-level corridor <br />improvement concepts will be identified. Concepts will have the goal of mitigating identified issues <br />related to traffic flow, access, crash history, and multimodal accessibility, comfort, and safety. It is <br />anticipated that concept development will be discussed and shared, breaking the study area into logical <br />segments/zones based on corridor context. <br />5.1 Typical Section Development – Preliminary concept development will focus on identifying <br />typical roadway cross sections concepts, which will include multimodal facilities. Typical sections <br />will be developed and vetted through project partners. A PMT meeting will be reserved for a <br />brainstorming workshop to present draft typical sections and provide partners an opportunity to <br />comment on and recommend revisions. <br />5.2 Intersection Alternatives Development – After feasible cross-section types have been vetted <br />through project partners, more detailed analysis will be performed for study intersections to <br />identify alternatives for intersection improvements such as lane reconfigurations, traffic control
