CPE <br />19.(P <br />UMULATIVEOTENTIALFFECTS <br />REPARERS CAN LEAVE THIS ITEM BLANK IF CUMULATIVE POTENTIAL EFFECTS <br />EAWI) <br />ARE ADDRESSED UNDER THE APPLICABLETEMS <br />AUAR Guidance: Because the AUAR process by its nature is intended to deal with cumulative potential effects <br />from all future developments within the AUAR area, it is presumed that the responses to all sections on the EAW <br />form automatically encompass the impacts from all anticipated developments within the AUAR area. However, <br />the total impact on the environment with respect to any of the sections on the EAW form may also be influenced <br />by past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future projects outside of the AUAR area. The cumulative potential <br />effect descriptions may be provided as part of the responses to other appropriate EAW sections, or in response <br />to this section. <br />a.D <br />ESCRIBE THE GEOGRAPHIC SCALES AND TIMEFRAMES OF THE PROJECT RELATED ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS THAT <br />. <br />COULD COMBINE WITH OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS RESULTING IN CUMULATIVE POTENTIAL EFFECTS <br />The following projects have been identified as reasonably foreseeable and have the potential to interact with <br />either Scenario as to cause varying degrees of reasonably foreseeable cumulative impacts. Each of the <br />identified projects is or has elements that are geographically proximate to the AUAR Study Area. <br />Past projects are incorporated via existing conditions identified within and adjacent to the AUAR study area, <br />specifically with regard to traffic analysis. <br />b.D( <br />ESCRIBE ANY REASONABLY FORESEEABLE FUTURE PROJECTSFOR WHICH A BASIS OF EXPECTATION HAS <br />) <br />BEEN LAID THAT MAY INTERACT WITH ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT WITHIN THE <br />. <br />GEOGRAPHIC SCALES AND TIMEFRAMES IDENTIFIED ABOVE <br />Interstate 35W at County Road 96 interchange <br />Ramsey County will be leading an effort to replace the current County Road 96 bridge over I-35W. The <br />purpose of this project will be to expand capacity at the interchange to meet future traffic demand. <br />Preliminary concepts show a six-lane cross section with two through lanes in either direction and double left <br />turn lanes. Construction is projected to be complete in 2015. This project is in the process of preliminary <br />design and environmental review. <br />Interstate 35W at County Road H interchange <br />Ramsey County will be leading an effort to replace the current County Road H bridge over I-35W. The <br />purpose of this project will be to expand capacity at the interchange to meet future traffic demand and add <br />additional ramps to access I-35W to and from CR H. Preliminary concepts show a 5-lane cross section with <br />two through lanes in both directions and a left turn. Additional ramps are also proposed from I-35W <br />northbound to CR H and from CR H to I-35W southbound. Construction is projected to be complete in 2016. <br />Phases 1 and 2 of these improvements are planned by Ramsey County (Figure 18-1), while phases 3 and 4 <br />are mitigation measures that would be required by the AUAR study area development. <br />County Road 10/Highway 10 at County Road H intersection <br />Funding for safety improvements at the intersection of CR H and CR 10/Highway 10 has been identified and <br />is included in the MnDOT Highway Safety Improvement Plan. Additional capacity will be needed at this <br />intersection with development at the AUAR study area site. The timing of planning and construction will be <br />coordinated in the future. <br />June 2014– Final AUAR33 <br />
