Origin -Destination Analysis <br />The Northwest Metro Mississippi River Crossing Feasibility Analysis included an origin -destination <br />(OD) analysis of trips crossing the Mississippi River on Highway 101, 169, and 610. The purpose of <br />this analysis was to understand how travelers and communities use existing river crossings in the <br />northwest metro. Understanding the demand for river crossing trips — where the trips come from <br />and where they are going — sheds valuable light on the potential impact of a new river crossing on <br />regional travel patterns and congestion. <br />Figure 5: Origin -Destination Analysis Summary of Trips Crossing the Mississippi River <br />Crossinglocation <br />Highest proportion of: <br />Highway 101 <br />Highway 169 <br />Highway 610 <br />Long trips to and from the Metro <br />Short trips typical of shopping <br />tedium trips typca of commutes ISA <br />Northwest Metro Mississippi River Crossing Feasibility Analysis <br />
