Origin -Destination Analysis <br />Trip Length <br />The average trip length of each <br />NW Twin Cities Metro River <br />Crossing varies according to trip <br />type. As illustrated to the right, <br />the Hwy 169 crossing has the <br />shortest average trip distance. This <br />is consistent with the role Hwy 169 <br />plays carrying short trips between <br />the cities of Champlin, Anoka and <br />Ramsey. Trips using the <br />Hwy 101 and Hwy 610 crossings <br />have similar trip length profiles, <br />although there is greater variation <br />in trips using Hwy 101 due to <br />its function as an interregional <br />corridor. <br />Highway 101 <br />Highway 169 <br />Highway 610 <br />Trip Volume <br />Nearly 240k daily trips cross the <br />Mississippi River using the Hwy 101, <br />169 or 610 river crossings. Hwy 610 <br />carries the heaviest traffic (55 percent <br />of trips), followed by <br />Hwy 101 (27 percent) and Hwy 169 <br />(18 percent). <br />5 10 15 20 25 30 <br />Distance in miles <br />35 <br />Image shows the average length in miles of trips on Highways 101, 169 and <br />610 in the Northwest Twin Cities Metro area on both sides of the river. <br />Highway 101 <br />Highway 610, <br />g Y ., <br />18% rfr 55% <br />Highway 169 <br />ver <br />Image is a pie chart identifying the percentage of total trips using each <br />river crossing in the Northwest TwinCities Metro area. <br />Overview and Need <br />Context and Land Use Traffic Analysis <br />Improvement Concepts <br />Next Steps <br />Page 12 <br />
