<br />III. Framework Plan <br /> <br />If. for any r~on. Opcion B . Ramp Reconfiguration does not work our, <br />Option C - Minor Ramp Reloacion would be thc second choice for <br />providing a direct connection with the proposed Twin Lakes Parkway. <br /> <br />B. P~AYLOCATIONOYnONS <br /> <br />The second key issue in planning the redevelopment of the Twin Lakes area <br />rdates to the roucing of the Twin Lakc:s Parkway between the I-35W <br /> <br />intcrchange and the link-up point with the aisring Parkway at Fairview Avenue <br />and Terrace Drive. The Parkway rouringwas investigated at two levels - overall <br />Parkway location and detailed Pa.ckway alignment. <br /> <br />. <br />. <br />. <br />t <br />} <br />. <br />} <br />} <br />} <br />. <br />. <br />t <br />>> <br />>> <br />>> <br />. <br />>> <br />>> <br />>> <br /> <br />1. Overall Parkway Location <br /> <br />For the overall Parkway location four location opcions (Figure 4) were <br />investigated. In developing the Parkway location options and in assessing <br />them. the following key criteria w-cre utilized: <br /> <br />. Provide the most direct route and the smoothest traffic flow <br /> <br />. Provide optimum pared access and configuration <br /> <br />. Minimize the number of roadways in the area <br /> <br />a. Location Option A . Original North Alignment. Option A would <br />utilize the: previously proposed alignment for the Parkway along the <br />southerly edge: of Langton Park. It would require neither the <br />reconstrUction of the ramps nor che acquisition of the Cummins <br />property. Howevc:r. this option would result in an undesirable offset <br />between the I-35W ramps and the Parkway and it would require the <br />acquisirion of the Hyman property. which would create: an uncertain <br />time frame for the completion of the Parkway. <br /> <br />b. Location Option B - Modified North AligJ'n1cnt. Option B would <br />utilize much of the alignment described in Option A. except that it <br />would loop down along the Mount Ridge Road alignment to connect <br />directly with the 1-35W ramps. The lona Lane right-of-WilY between <br />Cleveland Avenue and Mount Ridge Road would be vacated. This <br />option would provide a direct: connection to the 1.35W ramps. bur it <br />would require either the acquisition of the Cummins building or the:: <br /> <br />Twi1llA}m Parlrway MaItn' Pla1l <br /> <br />12 <br />
