This submittal is made in <br />response to the current request for submittals froin the Minnesota Department of <br />Transportation (MnDOT). <br /> <br />Due to the frequency and increasing severity of crashes, the Anoka County Highway <br />Department installed an All-Way Stop at the intersection in March of 2006, as 5 or more <br />crashes occurred within a 12-month period that, were susceptible to correction by amulti- <br />way STOP installation, including a fatal crash occurrence on 6/17/2005. While the crash <br />history at the intersection has subsequently improved, an All-Way Stop is not the <br />preferred long-term intersection safety solution, as traffic volumes and development in <br />the area are increasing significantly. . <br /> <br />Consequently, a more efficient, permanent safety solution is desired to be constructed at <br />the intersection. This proposed project would be designed to decrease both the frequency <br />and the severity of the crashes occurring at the intersection through the following project <br />components: <br /> <br />1. Construction of a new traffic signal with left turn phasing and full pedestrian <br />features to appropriately assign right of way to motorists negotiating the <br />intersection; <br /> <br />12 <br /> <br />Affi"'''''''''''.'':!I+iuo.
