Mark Culver, PE January 17, 2019 City of Roseville Page 15 Based on the results comparing side -street delays, Scenario 2 provides the best option for reducing delays at all intersections along the corridor. Scenario 3 significantly reduces the delay at Lydia Avenue due to the grade separation; however, the traffic that is diverted to County Road C2 negatively impacts operations on both the eastbound and westbound approaches at the County Road C2 intersection. Throughput Evaluation Results The second part of the analysis looked at the increase in throughput along the corridor. The change in throughput was calculated at each of the exit points along the corridor as well as the northbound throughput north of County Road C. Table 2 summarizes throughput along the corridor and the percent change in throughput as compared to existing. Table 2.

It should also be noted that Scenario 1 also increases northbound throughput by improving the geometry for the currently deficient side -streets.
