<br /> I <br /> ~ a. Gateway BoulevardJHighway 10 Intersection: LOS = F <br /> b. Gateway BoulevardJHighway 96 Intersection: LOS = C <br /> Scenario 3: At-Grade Intersections at <br /> Gateway Boulevard & Highway 96; <br /> I No Access between <br /> Highway 96 & Highway 10 <br /> Gateway Boulevard & Highway 10 <br /> I Traffic Movement/Access Provided <br /> I This scenario would provide the same level of access for traffic on Highway 96 as Scenario 2 <br /> however the access between Gateway Boulevard and Highway 10 would be removed in this <br /> scenario. The removal of the Highway 10/Gateway Boulevard intersection pushes large amounts <br /> I of traffic generated from the redeveloped TCAAP site onto Hamline Avenue, Gateway <br /> Boulevard and County Road H2 for access to the freeway system. Access to the redeveloped <br /> TCAAP site and the redeveloped Highway 10/96 Triangle would be through Hamline Avenue, <br /> I Snelling A venue, Gateway Boulevard, County Road H2 and County Road I. Highway 10 would <br /> not function as a feeder to the TCAAP site under this scenario and only tIuough traffic between I <br /> 35W and I 694 would be served by Highway 10 under Scenario 3. <br /> I The proposed intersection of Gateway Boulevard and Highway 96 would include dual left-twn <br /> lanes on the eastbound Highway 96 approach to accommodate 460 peak hour left twns. The <br /> . analysis indicates a high number of right twn movements for southbound Gateway Boulevard to <br /> westbound Highway 96 which may require free right turn access or multiple turn lanes. Single <br /> left and right turn lanes would be provided on the other legs ofthe intersection. <br /> I This scenario would also allow Highway 96 to remain in its current alignment between Highway <br /> 10 and Interstate 35W since no access would be provided at Highway 10, <br /> I Scenario 3 would provide the least range of access for Arden Hills residents and businesses of <br /> the three scenarios considered. In addition, the quality of the access during peak periods at the <br /> I one functioning intersection would be less than its function in Scenario 2. Calculated PM Peak <br /> Hour levels of service are summarized below for the one intersection: <br /> I a. Gateway BoulevardJHighway 96 Intersection: LOS = D <br /> SUMMARY OF TRAFFIC MODEL RESULTS <br /> I * Highway 96/Highway 10 intersection will operate at LOS F unless grade separated or <br /> I Highway 10 is increased to six through lanes in width. <br /> * If Highway 96 and Highway 10 are grade separated with no access, there are properties <br /> I in the Highway 96/1 0 Triangle which would not have acceptable access to points south <br /> and west via Interstate 35W. <br /> , 8 <br /> I <br />
