Jennifer Wiltgen <br />Minnesota Department of Transportation <br />June 25, 2021 <br />Page 2 <br />Assumptions <br />Existing and year 2040 socioeconomic and roadway system assumptions are consistent with the <br />regional development assumptions (Thrive MSP 2040) and regional transportation policy plan. These <br />assumptions are incorporated into the model as described below. <br />Transportation Network <br />Existing Year Roadway Network <br />The baseline (2014) roadway system forecasts assume existing roadway system and was updated to <br />reflect conditions as of the year 2018. Key roadway updates identified and incorporated include: <br />• CSAH 610 extension from CSAH 81 to I-94 <br />• I-35E MnPASS from Little Canada Road to CR J <br />• I-694 3rd lane expansion in Shoreview <br />• I-494 3rd lane expansion in Plymouth <br />• TH 10/Main St area connection coding errors <br />• Interchange at TH 10 and Armstrong Blvd in Ramsey <br />Year 2040 Programmed Improvements <br />The 2040 No Build scenario includes the following planned and programmed improvements: <br />• I-94 lane additions from TH 610 to TH 101 <br />• 109th Avenue reconstruction to four lanes (Jefferson Highway to CSAH 103) <br />• 101 st Avenue — TH 169 interchange and reconstruction <br />• CSAH 81 reconstructed as a multi -lane roadway from north of 63rd Avenue North to <br />CSAH 8 in Brooklyn Park. <br />• CSAH 103 (West Broadway Avenue) reconstructed as a four -lane divided roadway from <br />CSAH 109 (85th Avenue N) to 93rd Avenue in Brooklyn Park. <br />• CSAH 103 (West Broadway Avenue) reconstructed as a four -lane divided roadway from <br />78th Ave to CSAH 109 (85th Avenue) in Brooklyn Park. This project includes the <br />reconstruction of CSAH 109/CSAH 103 intersection. <br />• Highway 610 extension from I-94 to CSAH 30 <br />• I-94 and Dayton Parkway Interchange <br />• Highway 10 grade separation at Ramsey Blvd and Sunfish Lake Blvd <br />Zonal Data and Socioeconomic Update <br />Development inputs to the model (i.e., population, households, and employment) are consistent <br />with the Thrive MSP 2040 plan as of April 2020. Existing and future year municipal socioeconomic <br />totals for key municipalities are shown in Table 1. <br />
