. . e Intersection Analysis Two signalized intersections were included in this study: CSAH 96 at TH 10 and County Road 10 (formerly TH 10) at County Road H in Mounds View. The County Road H1County Road 10 intersection currently operates at Level of Service C in both peak hours. This can be attributed to the reduction in demand relative to the capacity when new TH 10 opened to traffic. However, traffic demand on County Road H will increase with the development of the TCAAP site. In addition, County Road 10 will experience traffic diversion-rclated growth as traffic volumes increase on TH 10 and 1- 35W. The intersection TH 10 and CSAH 96 currently operates at or beyond capacity in the peak hours, primarily due to the high through-volumes on TH 10 but also as a function of the CASH 96 through- and left-turn movements. Demand at the TH 10/CSAH 96 intersection will exceed capacity prior to the development of the TCAAP site. This congestion will worsen as the TCAAP site develops and as congestion increases on 1- 35W increases. Additional through lanes on TH 10 would not eliminate the congestion. The most reasonable alternative would be to provide a grade-separation between TH 10 and CSAH 96 traffic. Design of this separation would need to be made with consideration for access to the TCAAP site and access spacing on CSAH 96 and TH 10. Such a separation, combined with an interchange between the TH 10 "Diagonal" and the TCAAP site would provide the best balance between regional and local traffic movements.
