As the rivet' crossing is added to the network, the traffic <br />dis'tribution on the roadway network, is changed and some of the intersections that <br />operated wet1 in 2017 hil in 2030, wi. th no further improvements, ~\dditionat lanes are <br />added at the intersections along Armstrong Boulevard to assure that the intersection <br />movements perform at LOS D or better in 2030. The design recommended fi'om the <br />traffic analysis in 2030 requires a four-lane divided roadway fbr Arrnstrong Boulevard <br />north of' Industt.w Avenue and a six-lane divided highway south of industry Avenue, This <br />design will also allow tbr a triple left turn westbound fi'om Industry to Armstrong that is <br />needed for the traflSc, As an alternative, an interchange design that allows for a free <br />movement westbound to southbound would eliminate the need for the u'iple left turn. <br />The addition of an interchange to and fi'om thc east on TI-I 10 at the existing location of <br />Armstrong Bouf~vard would also eliminate the need ~'or a trip{e left turn at industry and <br />Armstrong by diverting sorne o t' the traffic to the new interchange instead of traveling <br />through the intersection. <br /> <br />Even with the.additional lanes on:-Armstrong at the TH 10 single-point interchange~ witl~ <br />the change in traffic patterns, specific traffic movements ,,rill l'~-til. TMs failure is a dh'ecl <br />result of the river crossing and [ts associated traffic patterns, specifically the east to south <br />trod north to west movements, 'Fo provide acceptable operations; rite interchange design <br />will require fl'er movements ibr the northbound left in addition to the right tums. This <br />design requirement would require a system-to-system interchm~ge '~br those movements. <br />The left turns southbound and eastbound would also benefit fi'om free. movements. <br /> <br />'['he City will continue to work with the Minnesota Depactment o~?Transportation <br />(Mn/DOT) and Anoka County to Find mx acceptable solution to accommodate 2030 traffic <br />volumes and the Mississippi River Crossing. <br /> <br />126 <br /> <br />Pulte b[omex Deve]opmenl £,4 kV <br />Trqffic lmpacz Stu~(~ ', <br /> <br />t;~tge 21 of 24 <br />Prepared by: <br /> <br /> <br />
