Identify measures that will be taken to minimize or mitigate project related transportation effects. In all five analysis conditions, the study intersections generally operate at acceptable LOS, with only a few minor side street movements operating at a LOS worse than D. Additionally, all queues were maintained within their allotted storage areas. Since the conditions are acceptable in all scenarios, there are no mitigation changes recommended for this project. 21.Cumulative Potential Effects a. Describe the geographic scales and timeframes of the project related environmental effects that could combine with other environmental effects resulting in cumulative potential effects. Cumulative potential effects are defined as "the effect on the environment that results from the incremental effects of a project in addition to other projects in the environmentally relevant area that might reasonably be expected to affect the same environmental resources, including future projects actually planned or for which a basis of expectation has been laid, regardless of what person undertakes the other projects or what jurisdictions have authority over the projects.,16 The geographic areas considered for cumulative potential effects are those near the project site (within approximately one-half mile), and the timeframe considered includes projects that would be constructed in the reasonably foreseeable future. 16 Minnesota Rules, part 4410.0200,subpart 11 a Haviland Fields EAW 31 July 2023
