· Industry Avenue--widen to five lane cross section west of Ramsey Boulevard to provide two through lanes in each direction and a left mm lane/center median The existing cross sections on Armstrong Boulevard north of the railroad, Sunwood Drive and Industry Avenue east of Ramsey, and Surzfish Lake Boulevard north of the rMkoad would be adequate to meet the future demand. Turn lanes and lane adjustments would be needed at the following intersections: · TH 10 at A2rns~ong Boulevard--add an.eastbound and a westbound through lane on the intersection approaches; add an eastbound and a southbound left turn lane and a southbound right mm lane. · TH 10 at Ramsey Boulevard--add an eastbound and a westbound through lane on the intersection approaches; add an eastbound and a southbound left mrn lane and a westbound right turn lane. A southbound through lane and a northbound left mm lane and northbound througj~right lane would need to be added to serve tl~e R_ivenwick 3 rd Subdivision tra~qSc independent of the project tra~c. · TH 10 at Sunfish Lake Boulevard--add an eastbound and a westbound through lane on the intersection approaches; convem the southbound approach from a through/left mm lane and a right mm lane to througNright turn lane and two left turn lanes (th/s adds one lane to the approach). · Industry Avenue at Ramsey Boulevard--add a southbound right turn lane; eastbound and northbotmd approaches would be widened by the above recommendations. · Sunwood Drive at Industry Avenue--modify the shared lanes on the northbound, eastbound and westbound approaches to provide left mm lanes and shared .througtgrig1~t mm lanes The following stop-controlled intersections would need to be' sig-naIized: · Ramsey B'oulevard at l. ndus~7' Avenue · Armstrong Boulevard at Industry Avenue · Industry Avenue at Sunfish Lake Boulevard. · Ramsey Boulevard at Sunwood Drive · Sunwood Drive at Industry Avenue · Sunwood Drive at Armstrong Boulevard · NS3 Street at lmdusrry Avenue The left mm volumes from the EW1 parkway onto both A.n'nsrrong and Ramsey Boulevard cannot be accommodated at an acceptable LOS under stop control and require signalization to acheve acceptable operations. However, the close spacing between the intersections of the EW1 parkway and the intersections of Armstrong and Ramsey Boulevard with Industry Avenue limits the potential for the ~a,o parkway intersections to 'be signalized. Accordingly the parkway intersections should be channelized to pro;Jide right-in/right-out and left-in access (~ access). Left out from the parkway would be prohibited and would redistribute to the north-south streets and to Industry Avenue (these volumes have been included in the mitigated calculations for the other intersections). 28 D-19-
