North Dayton Development AUAR • Provide dedicated right turn lanes for the N Diamond Lake Road/Brockton Lane intersection single -lane roundabout using the reserved right-of-way if a roundabout was constructed as part of the 2025 mitigation. In addition to these roadway improvements, the following items are also recommended based upon the traffic analysis for the proposed development: • Reserve space, if necessary, for the future trail network in this area. • Consider internal sidewalks/trails to connect to a future trail network and between the residential/commercial components of the proposed Developer's plan. • Consider potential bicycle parking areas and other amenities (repair stations) on -site for when the future trail network is developed. • Follow the requirements of the MnMUTCD for signing and striping. • Work with the City, as necessary, in their continued dialogue with Metro Transit and Hennepin County on the potential expansion of the transit system. See the Traffic Impact Study for a further description of the traffic associated with the proposed development and its impact on the surrounding transportation network. c. Identify measures that will be taken to minimize or mitigate project -related transportation effects. Beyond the measures identified above, the proposed development is expected to work with the City on the transportation network beyond the streets for vehicles. This work potentially includes internal sidewalks and trails with connections to external routes and expansion of the transit network and facilities to serve these new residents. Development of a trail system is typically seen as an amenity by residents and provides for recreational and commuter trips by non -motorized means. With more residents in a concentrated area, expansion of the fixed transit routes currently operating in Champlin or Maple Grove may be appropriate. Although the developer will assist as possible, any new or expanded transit routes are likely a long-term improvement requiring initiative by the City in cooperation with Metro Transit. MITIGATION MEASURES (QUESTION 18): Due to general background growth and adjacent specific developments, the following mitigation is recommended with or without the proposed North Dayton development for the year 2025: • Continue to explore options for corridor improvements on the TH 169 and CSAH 81 corridor with other agencies. • Re -stripe the Dayton River Road approach to TH 169 to provide dual left turn lanes, a left turn/through lane, and a right turn lane. Additional pavement on northbound TH 169 will be needed. • Update signal timing at all signalized intersections at least every three to five years. 36
