In addition, detailed OD analysis results are <br />available in Appendix B. <br />• Mississippi River crossing in the northwest metro carry nearly 240,000 average daily vehicle trips <br />(weekdays in April, September, and October 2019). <br />• Approximately 70 percent of trips using the crossings serve communities within the immediate <br />river crossing area, while approximately two percent of trips are interregional trips. Most of <br />these interregional trips use the Highway 101 crossing. <br />• The top five destination cities of trips using northwest metro area crossings are Coon Rapids <br />(9.9 percent), Brooklyn Park (9.7 percent), Blaine (7.3 percent), Elk River (6.7 percent) and <br />Maple Grove (5.9 percent). <br />• The area between the Highway 610 and Highway 169 crossing has a much higher density of trips <br />crossing the Mississippi River (greater than 700 trips per square mile) than the area located <br />between the Highway 101 and Highway 169 crossing (less than 350 daily trips per square mile). <br />Northwest Metro Mississippi River Crossing Feasibility Analysis <br />
