The acceleration lane will be built within Mn/DOT right-of-way. 10) At 157th Avenue (Reference Point 24+00.516), a northbound bypass lane will be added. The existing right mm-lane to 156m Avenue will be' extended north, past the Rum River Boy Scout Camp entrance and 157m Avenue, to form the bypass lane. 1 I) 600 feet south of 167th Avenue (Reference Point 25+00.67), a hump in the vertical profile of the roadway will be lowered roughly two feet. This hump causes a sight restriction to and from the 167m Avenue intersection. A 300-foot long section of TH 47 will need to be reconstructed to remove this hump. 12) At County Road 66 (Reference Point 28+00.204), Metro Traffic recommended adding turn-lanes. Turn-lanes will not be added to this intersection as part of this project due to the lack of fight-of-way needed to construct the turn-lanes. · 13) At Vega Drive (Reference Point 28+00.497), Metro Traffic recommended adding mm-lanes. Turn-lanes will not be added to this intersection as part of this project due to the lack of right-of-way needed to construct the mm-lanes. 14) At 222® Avenue (Reference Point 33+00.164), Metro Traffic recommended adding mm-lanes. Turn-lanes will not be added to this intersection as part of this project due to the lack of right-of-way needed to construct the turn-lanes. 15) At Cree Avenue (Reference Point 33+00.2), the City of Saint Francis has requested that mm-lanes be constructed for a new development north of'IH 47 (see Figure 6 on page viii).

If MnDOT's right-of-way is not wide enough to construct right mm-lanes on the south side of TH 47 at this location, the right mm-lanes to St. Francis Auto Parts, Inc. will not be constructed as part of this project. 16) At 229m Avenue (Reference Point 34+00.576), the City of Saint Francis has requested that turn- lanes be constructed for the new development mentioned in Item 15), above.
