5. Transportation Project Updates <br />Mr. Culver provided a brief review and update on transportation project listed in <br />the staff report dated July 28, 2020. <br />Mr. Culver reviewed the Larpenteur Avenue 3 Lane Section project. <br />Member Spencer indicated he lived by this project and he thought the restriping <br />and three lane of Larpenteur at Dale, the test section, has been wonderful for that <br />section of road. He would like to see this done at the intersection at Dale too. <br />Member Huiett indicated along with the follow-up study she would be curious to <br />see if the bus stops have had any ridership improvement or increase/decrease in <br />ridership as well. <br />Mr. Culver reviewed the County Road B2 at Lexington Project with the <br />Commission. <br />Member Hammer indicated she lived on County Road B2 when the sidewalks went <br />in and there are often many opinions and she commended staff putting this together <br />with resident comments and input and she thought this was really transparent. She <br />noted the intersection of Victoria and B2 is also a busy street with a stop sign and <br />she wondered if this will improve the traffic flow for these intersections or is that <br />something that will be looked at as a result of this improvement. <br />Mr. Culver indicated the danger of doing improvements at one particular spot, <br />particularly with capacity is what will be the impact of that intersection <br />downstream. hi this case, it could be both east bound and west bound. If there <br />continues to be issues the intersections will be looked at in the future. <br />Mr. Culver reviewed the Rosedale Environmental Assessment Worksheet with the <br />Commission. <br />Chair Wozniak suggested the Commissioners look at the EAW, even though it has <br />been approved, to get to know some of the components of it. This is a huge project <br />and will have significant impact on the community. He thought the traffic study <br />that was done was based on a different count of residential units then what is <br />actually being proposed. He thought the ones currently being proposed are more <br />then what was in the traffic study and indicated he would like Mr. Culver to take a <br />look at that. He also noted there are two new businesses the city Council approved <br />along Fairview and the Macy's parking lot and those will also have impacts on the <br />traffic as well. He wondered how that will figure into traffic counts. <br />Mr. Culver indicated as a part of the Conditional Use Permit needed for the drive- <br />throughs for those uses, the traffic numbers were updated. <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />
