• There are higher traffic volumes an 142°`~ Avenue east of Argon than west of TH47. <br />The frontage road behind River/47 Plaza appears to play a significant role in the local <br />traffic patterns, Traffic counts should be taken. on this road, It may also be necessary to <br />observe"the movements to determine the origin and destination of this traffic. <br />• Significantly less traffic is using 142°d Avenue from the Rivers Bend neighborhood <br />since 2000. The decline appears to have started even prior to .the three quarters <br />intersection modifications, but the intersection change has also had a significant impact <br />in further lowering the intersection's use. <br />• Traffic has substantially increased on Dysprosium Street since the installation of the <br />signals at CR 1 lb and the improvement of .that roadway. Traffic has increased 60 to <br />70 % since 2003 . <br />Accidents: <br />The Police department has prepared a summary of the accidents that have occurred since 2004 <br />at or rxear the. intersection of 142na Avenue and TH 47.
