The top five origins (all nearby) accounted for 53.8% of trip origins, and the top ten (also <br />nearby origins) accounted for 72.3%. Nearby localities in the top ten destinations accounted for 58.1% <br />of destination trips. Downtown Minneapolis was among the top five destinations, accounting for 6.8% of <br />destinations. <br />For the TH 610 bridge, the top five origins (all nearby) accounted for 51.7% of origins, and the top ten <br />(all nearby) for 72%. Nearby localities account in the top ten destinations account for 57% of destination <br />trips. Downtown Minneapolis was among the top five destinations, accounting for 8.7% of destinations. <br />Users were not exclusive bridge users. They tended to split use of the three crossings, generally <br />dependent on location. For instance, 57% Anoka/Ramsey area survey respondents reported splitting use <br />of the TH 169 and 610 bridges, and 37% exclusively use TH 169. This pattern is repeated for many <br />nearby localities, except for locations such as Elk River, where respondents reported almost exclusively <br />using TH 101. <br />NW Metro Mississippi River Crossings Feasibility Analysis <br />Page 16 <br />
