<br />Approximately 55-60 percent of the traffic on I-35W area between the Lexington Avenue <br />interchange and TH 36 begins and/or ends within the study area. Based on analysis of <br />traffic diversions, addition of one or two lanes in each direction ofI-35W would not <br />significantly change that proportion. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Forecast traffic volumes at the TH I O/CSAH 96 intersection will result in a failing level <br />of service. The existing and forecast traffic volumes make the intersection between the <br />TH 10 "Diagonal" and CSAH 96 a good candidate for grade separation. Such a <br />separation, combined with an interchange between the TH 10 "Diagonal" and the <br />TCAAP site would provide the best balance between regional and local traffic <br />movements. <br /> <br />The TH 10 "Diagonal" serves as an alternative westbound-to-northbound leg of the 1- <br />35W/I-694 interchange and supports a critical regional function. The interchange <br />between those two freeways, as well as the freeway segments themselves, would not have <br />sufficient capacity to absorb the additional demand if regional traffic could not use the <br />TH 10 diagonal. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />1-35WII-694ITH 10ITH 36 <br />Transportation Deficiency Study <br /> <br />-31 - <br /> <br />SRF Consulting Group, Inc. <br />July 2002 <br />
