TRUNK HIGHWAY (TH) 61 VISIONING STUDY Scope of Work <br />7 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />revisions, and/or multimodal crossing enhancements. Intersection alternatives analysis will <br />focus on compatibility with overall roadway sections and access management considerations. <br />Options will be analyzed from a traffic perspective in the 2040 build year using <br />Synchro/SimTraffic with similar MOEs implemented as discussed in Task 4.3. The intersection <br />options will be shown using sketch/stick level GIS-based graphics to illustrate how the <br />alternatives fit in the corridor context. This will pair with the access blueprint developed in Task <br />4.6. <br />5.3 Corridor Concept Development – Using takeaways from the high-level concept development <br />and intersection alternative, up to two overall corridor vision ideas will be developed. The <br />concepts will be displayed using GIS to illustrate intersection options (e.g., full access, partial <br />access, roundabout, signal), access spacing, where different typical sections start/stop, and right <br />of way needed. Right of way will be drafted in CAD based on standard dimensions for different <br />typical sections and intersection treatments. Up to two options will be drafted in CAD (2D <br />linework) for the downtown area of Hugo (140th to 150th Street N) to better illustrate how these <br />options fit. <br />5.4 Alternatives Analysis, Evaluation, and Recommendations – Alternatives that are carried <br />forward past the initial brainstorming phase will be analyzed in terms of their performance in <br />key metrics. These metrics will include: Traffic operations, safety benefits, multimodal <br />accommodations, and property and environmental impacts. Summary matrices will be <br />developed to clearly indicate how alternatives perform in key metrics to help convey this <br />information to stakeholders and the public. The end product of this task will be <br />recommendations for short-term, mid-term, and long-term improvements for the corridor. <br />Deliverables: Typical Sections, Layouts, Performance Matrices. <br /> <br /> <br />Task 6. Jurisdictional Transfer Plan <br />6.1 Implementation Plan – We will develop a fiscally responsible implementation plan that <br />prioritizes short-, mid-, and long-term transportation improvement recommendations made up <br />of right-sized segments and components that have independent utility. The plan will document <br />the needs, triggers, timing, responsible agency, and potential funding sources for each project. <br />Ideally, the independent projects will achieve multiple purposes being eligible for a variety of <br />funding sources. <br />We will regularly coordinate with MnDOT State Aid to complete this task. reviewing drafts of the <br />implementation plan ultimately leading to reaching the turnback agreement stated in the 1996 <br />Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between MnDOT and Washington County. The Cities of <br />Hugo and Forest Lake will also be engaged at milestone times of this effort. <br />Deliverables: Implementation plan, including a priority list of independent utility projects and <br />associated project timeline, planning level cost estimates, viable competitive <br />funding programs, and agency participation/cost share policy (see Carver <br />County example).
