The ponds will provide both water quality and quantity control. Rates of discharge from the project will be less than those from the undeveloped site. The ponds will be designed to National Urban Runoff Program (NURP) standards and provide significant removal of suspended solids and nutrients as well as removal of heavy metals and other pollutants, Specific pond design will be determined by Rice Creek Watershed District permit requirements through a coordinated design effort. The ponds will be maintained by the City, A routine maintenance schedule will be established for the ponds in order to ensure their effectiveness, "Access for pond maintenance will be provided through the use of easements or other appropriate mechanisms. 1.5.6 Erosion and Sedimentation An erosion and sedimentation control plan will be developed to comply with city requirements and the requirements of the Rice Creek Watershed District. 1.5.7 Traffic The analysis of the. proposed project assumed the following roadway improvements: . Completion of Rice Creek Parkway through the project site, connecting CR I and CR J . Signalization and lane improvements at the CR I and CR J intersections with Rice Creek Parkway as illustrated on Figure 5-3 . Signalization at the east site driveway to CR J. . Signalization at the CR I/West 1-35W Ramp intersection and at the CR I/East 1-35W Ramp intersection, . Left turn lane from westbound CR I to the West 1-35W ramps. All of these improvements are expected to be completed as part of the project, The CR I improvements will be constructed by Ramsey County beginning in spring 1999, The only significant traffic impact forecast to occur with the project is at the intersection of CR J and the West 1-35W Service Road. This intersection is forecast to operate at LOS E in the PM peak traffic hours. Resolving this traffic impact would require an additional lane in each direction on the bridge over 1-35W, According to the Universitv of Minnesota Parcel Traffic Study, replacement of the bridge along with new traffic signal systems at both ramp terminals would cost approximately $2,000,000, As noted above, the project will include pedestrian crossing facilities (crosswalk, push-button) at the intersection of CR I and Rice Creek Parkway.
