Based on the results of the of the existing and future year condition analysis which was completed for <br />the CSAH 5 Corridor Traffic Study, four intersections along the CSAH 5 corridor were reviewed for <br />capacity and safety performance. These intersections include: <br />• CSAH 5 and CSAH 63 (Green Valley Road and 175th Avenue) <br />• CASH 5 and 167th Avenue NW <br />• CSAH 5 and CSAH 56 (Ramsey Boulevard) <br />• CSAH 5 and Sunwood Drive <br />The following key findings and recommendations for each of the four intersections along CSAH 5 <br />were developed as a result of the analysis. In general, opportunities for additional pedestrian <br />accommodations and create a cohesive roadside environment should be sought throughout the <br />corridor. <br />11„1111,1%111 i,..111I 1° 1 11141 133 <br />An elevated crash history was observed at both the east and west intersections of CSAH 5 and CSAH <br />63. Traffic volumes are anticipated to increase at this intersection as the surrounding area develops. <br />Additional turn lanes will reduce the conflicts and crash risks under future year conditions. <br />Furthermore, the installation of lighting will help alert drivers to the intersections at night. The <br />marginal costs of the proposed improvements at this intersection would potentially decrease if the <br />improvements are coordinated with future corridor investments. <br />IRclll'III"nllll'III"nle ll"nl' '111III"nllll Implement turn lane improvements and lighting as part of the next preservation <br />investment to improve safety and modernize intersections to support future growth. <br />� ��i 1114 :P4111I° i d„Ei IIV iiu '': IIII° 1!1 ��": III'4j �m <br />167th Avenue NW functions as an east -west roadway. Higher crash rates were observed at the CSAH <br />5 and 167th Avenue NW intersection compared to the majority of the intersections along the CSAH <br />5 corridor. The roundabout concept was found to be the most cost-effective improvement for this <br />intersection with a 12-year return on investment. <br />IRecIII'lll"nllll'III"nlell"nl't'llllll"nllll Implement a roundabout as part of the next preservation investment to improve <br />safety and serve function of 167th Avenue as an east -west corridor. <br />6113131.1111 an d <br />( ..i 1114 1114 ' d Ord uu 55y III id) 0I151fid IN°d <br />An elevated crash history was observed at the CSAH 56 (Ramsey Boulevard) intersection, including <br />injury crashes. The traffic volume from northbound CSAH 56 to northbound CSAH 5 is expected to <br />increase with the completion of the interchanges on US Highway 10. Turn lane and roundabout <br />concepts were considered for this location; both concepts have a similar construction cost, <br />30 <br />
