Regular City Council Meeting Monday, December 8,2014 Page 36 Mr. Culver concurred, noting that in addition, funding options would still need to be finalized, with staff returning with that information as part of a feasibility study, with any ordering of the project beyond that, and subsequent action of the City Council for funding and ordering the project. Councilmember Willmus advised that, before he could support construction of a roadway, he would want an updated traffic study, and asked for more discussion on how and where that fit into this process. Mr. Culver advised that staff had sought updated numbers that were generated in early November as part of the feasibility study working with SRF for other Twin Lakes area improvements, including updated numbers on Fairview Avenue and County Road D to answer questions since WalMart had opened. Mr. Culver dis- played and reviewed how to interpret those preliminary numbers, noting that some additional updating would be required on some roadways immediately adja- cent to this Phase II of Twin Lakes Parkway. Those preliminary numbers as dis- played are made a part of the RCA, Traffic counts were for the existing road(s), 2030 projected traffic projections not based on the full model but with current traffic volumes and land use development to-date, including the proposed apart- ment buildings and with consideration given to improvements programmed on I- 694 and likely improvements for the I-35W managed lane occurring along this ar- ea. Mr. Culver clarified that there were other factors driving traffic in this area that were beyond the Walmart development. Taking all that into consideration, Mr. Culver reviewed Fairview Avenue as an example of current traffic volumes,projected volume in 2030 and increases or de- creases projected, and how that minor County arterial roadway would manage traffic with further development in the area. Mr. Culver further reviewed impacts to County Road D. Overall, Mr. Culver highlighted where ADT's were actually lower in some cases for 2030 than originally projected in the 2007 AUAR. Councilmember Willmus questioned whether there would be other infrastructure improvements indicated along Fairview Avenue with an updated traffic study and modeling. Mr. Culver responded that there would be, noting that the 2007 AUAR had al- ready identified them, clarifying that even though the document had expired, it was still used for informational purposes in helping to determine needed im- provements (e.g. traffic signals) as the area builds out. Mr. Culver advised that this included coordinating with Ramsey County and other agencies to fund those improvements as well. Councilmember McGehee reiterated her previous comments; and opined that whether or not Parks & Recreation Director Brokke chose to call that area park- land or not, more than any other Councilmember at the bench, she had spent more
