2 3 4 � 9 10 11 12 13 d. Mitigation 4 is the addition of an additional exclusive eastbound left turn lane at the Lydia/ Snelling intersection. In looking at the 2018 traffic analysis, under background conditions operates at a LOS E& F during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours respectively. This is unchanged for 2018 cumulative traffic conditions, indicating that immediate additional mitigation would not be warranted at build- out. This signal was just replaced in 2003 and is not included in the State or City's long range Capital Improvement plan. As a result, funding for these improvements has not been identified, and there is no timeline for the assumed improvements. Staff recommends that this mitigation measure reflect these limitations and be changed to action items that would aid the implementation of the identified improvements. This can be accomplished by the following: 14 • Staff recommends that the College dedicate the necessary right- of- way 15 for the road widening assumed in the Study. To identify how much right- 16 of- way is necessary, Northwestern will put together a preliminary layout 17 for the segment of Lydia Avenue located between Lincoln and Snelling as 18 evaluated in the Study, and determine how much additional right- of- way 19 to the north and south of Lydia Avenue would be necessary. The road 20 design should take into account left turn movements for both the Snelling 21 intersection as well as the Lincoln intersection. This road widening design 22 should be submitted with first development plan. Once the layout has 23 been approved by City staff, the necessary right- of- way shall be dedicated 24 as a condition of PUD approval. This will ensure that when the assumed 25 background improvements are implemented for the Lydial Snelling 26 intersection the City will have adequate right- of- way. 27 28 • Staff also recommends that Northwestern participate in the cost of the 29 future intersection improvement project when it occurs. The cost 30 participation shall be proportionate to the amount of traffic that is added to 31 the public system as a result of the campus expansion. The proportion will 32 be based on new traffic added to the public system in relationship to 33 existing and background traffic. 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 e. The College shall prepare a Travel Demand Management (TDM) Plan, including trip reduction strategies, a schedule for implementation, and procedures for evaluation and revisions. This plan shall be approved by the City Engineer prior to the issuance of building permits for each phase of the development. These strategies will be evaluated to determine reductions in the forecasted traffic. A trip reduction goal shall be identified as a part of each TDM Plan. PF07-002_RCA_092407 Page 9 of ] 0
