Roadway Connections to County Road I <br />Ramsey County has indicated that at some future time a roadway connection from the AUAR study area to <br />County Road I may be deemed necessary. Extending Old Highway 8 which provides access to the MnDOT <br />parcel north of the AUAR study area that includes a driving facility, is one possible opportunity, but is only <br />80 feet east of the I-35W east ramp/Rice Creek Parkway intersection. Extending North Fairview Avenue <br />south into the northeast corner of the site is another possible opportunity. These connections may provide <br />relief to the intersection at the east ramps of I-35W and County Road H as well as provide additional <br />emergency vehicle access to the AUAR study area, however, is not determined necessary based on current <br />traffic studies (thru 2030). Relevant traffic and environmental studies related to these connections would be <br />completed in a separate document, if and when it is determined necessary. <br />c.D <br />ISCUSS THE NATURE OF THE CUMULATIVE POTENTIAL EFFECTS AND SUMMARIZE ANY OTHER AVAILABLE <br />INFORMATION RELEVANT TO DETERMINING WHETHER THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL <br />. <br />EFFECTS DUE TO THESE CUMULATIVE EFFECTS <br />Impacts resulting from the development of the AUAR study area include wetlands, wildlife, soil remediation, <br />and traffic. Impacts of the future road projects may have impacts to wetlands and traffic. The planned future <br />road improvements will result in a cumulative benefit to traffic conditions. All other impacts from these future <br />projects will be addressed via regulatory permitting and approval measures, therefore individually mitigated <br />to ensure no cumulative impacts occur to resources such as wetlands. <br />20.OPEE <br />THEROTENTIALNVIRONMENTALFFECTS <br />I119, <br />F THE PROJECT MAY CAUSE ANY ADDITIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS NOT ADDRESSED BY ITEMS TO <br />,, <br />DESCRIBE THE EFFECTS HERE DISCUSS THE HOW THE ENVIRONMENT WILL BE AFFECTED AND IDENTIFY <br />. <br />MEASURES THAT WILL BE TAKEN TO MINIMIZE AND MITIGATE THESE EFFECTS <br />No additional environmental effects are anticipated. <br />June 2014– Final AUAR34 <br />
