I ~ Scenario 1 would provide a high level of access for Arden Hills residents and businesses, It should be pointed out that the quality of the access would be extremely low during peak periods, Calculated PM peak hour levels of service are summarized below for the three main intersections: I a. Highway 96/Highway 10 Intersection: LOS = F* b. Gateway Boulevard/Highway 10 Intersection: LOS = F* c. Gateway Boulevard/Highway 96 Intersection: LOS = C I *In order to improve the Peak Hour LOS on Highway 10, a six-lane highway would be needed, I Scenario 2: At-Grade Intersections at Gateway Boulevard & Highway 96; I Gateway Boulevard & Highway 10 No Access between Highway 96 & Highway 10 I Traffic Movement/Access Provided This scenario would provide reasonable access for traffic on Highway 96 although the large I volume of traffic headed to north Interstate 35W or future Highway 610 (and reverse traffic) will need to access Interstate 35W at the new Highway 96/I 35W interchange west of Round Lake. An alternative route would require traveling through the TCAAP site and entering Highway 10 .. at the proposed intersection of Gateway Boulevard. Access to the redeveloped TCAAP site and the redeveloped Highway 10/96 Triangle would be through Hamline Avenue, Snelling Avenue, Gateway Boulevard, County Road H2 and County Road I identical to Scenario 1. I The proposed intersection of Gateway Boulevard and Highway 96 would include dual left-turn lanes on the eastbound Highway 96 approach to accommodate 443 peak hour left turns. The I analysis indicates a high number of right turn movements for southbound Gateway Boulevard to westbound Highway 96 which may require free right turn access or multiple turn lanes. The proposed intersection of Highway 10 and Gateway Boulevard would include dual left-turn lanes I on the southbound Highway 10 approach to accommodate 790 peak hour left turns. Single left and right turn lanes would be provided on all other legs of these two intersections. I Old Highway 10 would intersect with Highway 96 in approximately the same area as today since spacing conflicts between the Highway 96/Highway 10 intersection would not exist. Consequently this scenario would allow Highway 96 to remain in its current alignment between I Highway 10 and Interstate 35W. Scenario 2 would provide an adequate however slightly lower range of access for Arden Hills I residents and businesses than that provided in Scenario 1. It should be pointed out that during peak times the quality of the access would be significantly better at the two functioning intersections than in Scenario 1. Calculated PM peak hour levels of service are summarized I below for the two main intersections: r 7 I
