<br />TRAVEL FLOW (SELECTED LINK) ANALYSIS <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The origins and destinations of traffic on I-35W were assessed to better determine the <br />causes for the increases in traffic. Two 'selected link' analyses were prepared to identify <br />where traffic passing a certain point on I-35W was originating from or destined. <br /> <br />Figure 11 shows the 2025 Baseline forecast origin/destination pattern for traffic at the <br />south end of the corridor (in the TH 36/I-35W common section). It is estimated that 76 <br />percent of the total demand will be from I-35W, with a significant movement from TH <br />280 (24 percent). However, 35 percent continues through the corridor on TH 36, not <br />using I-35W. I-35W at the north end of the corridor accounts for 14 percent of the <br />forecasted traffic. An estimated 41 percent of the travel is destined for the study area. <br /> <br />Figure 12 shows that 2025 Baseline traffic entering the corridor at the north end is <br />predominately regional, with TH 10 (44 percent) followed by I-35W (36 percent). The <br />remaining 20 percent is from local interchanges (CSAH 23, County Road J and 95th <br />Avenue North). Only 22 percent ofthe traffic at the north end ofthe corridor passes <br />through the I-35W/TH 36 common section, which is approximately the same percentage <br />that uses 1-694 to the east (21 percent). (The large percent of traffic to 1-694 East <br />illustrates the critical regional role served by the TH 10 "Diagonal".) Local interchanges, <br />including the above-mentioned interchanges, account for 59 percent of the originations or <br />destination from the north end of the corridor. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />1-35W/I-694ITH toITH 36 <br />Transportation Deficiency Study <br /> <br />-23- <br /> <br />SRF Consulting Group, Inc. <br />July 2002 <br />
