I ~ Introduction On January 5, 1998, the Arden Hills City Council ordered the preparation of a transportation I study to evaluate the possible reconfiguration of the intersection of Highway 96 and Trunk Highway lOin the northwest portion of the City. The purpose of the transportation study is to develop alternatives for the interchange which would maintain adequate access to local residents I and businesses while improving overall traffic flow in the area. Due to the proximity of the interchange with the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) property, the analysis also incorporates the effects that the redevelopment of the TCAAP site would have on the I intersection, Mapping and other information regarding existing and future land uses, access and routes was I compiled by BRW to generate a predictive traffic model of the area. The model was run simulating existing conditions as well as three alternative future access scenarios. The results of the traffic model were then used to determine the likely consequences of the alternative access I scenarios to assist in the decision making process. A detailed analysis of access ramps and associated construction at the Highway 96/Highway 10 I intersection was made in order to determine the impacts of the accesses with respect to construction parameters, property acquisition and relocation/modification of other roadways and utilities. . BRW also investigated the existing accesses onto Highway 10 north of Highway 96 to determine I whether some improvements would be needed or recommended to be completed in conjunction with the Highway 96 improvements.
