�: 81 5. Transportation Project Updates 82 Mr. Culver provided a brief review and update on transportation project listed in 83 the staff report dated July 28, 2020. 84 85 Mr. Culver reviewed the Larpenteur Avenue 3 Lane Section project. 86 87 Member Spencer indicated he lived by this project and he thought the restriping 88 and three lane of Larpenteur at Dale, the test section, has been wonderful for that 89 section of road. He would like to see this done at the intersection at Dale too. 90 91 Member Huiett indicated along with the follow-up study she would be curious to 92 see if the bus stops have had any ridership improvement or increase/decrease in 93 ridership as well. 94 95 Mr. Culver reviewed the County Road B2 at Lexington Project with the 96 Commission. 97 98 Member Hammer indicated she lived on County Road B2 when the sidewalks went 99 in and there are often many opinions and she commended staff putting this together 100 with resident comments and input and she thought this was really transparent. She 101 noted the intersection of Victoria and B2 is also a busy street with a stop sign and 102 she wondered if this will improve the traffic flow for these intersections or is that 103 something that will be looked at as a result of this improvement. 104 105 Mr. Culver indicated the danger of doing improvements at one particular spot, 106 particularly with capacity is what will be the impact of that intersection 107 downstream. hi this case, it could be both east bound and west bound. If there 108 continues to be issues the intersections will be looked at in the future. 109 110 Mr. Culver reviewed the Rosedale Environmental Assessment Worksheet with the 111 Commission. 112 113 Chair Wozniak suggested the Commissioners look at the EAW, even though it has 114 been approved, to get to know some of the components of it. This is a huge project 115 and will have significant impact on the community. He thought the traffic study 116 that was done was based on a different count of residential units then what is 117 actually being proposed. He thought the ones currently being proposed are more 118 then what was in the traffic study and indicated he would like Mr. Culver to take a 119 look at that. He also noted there are two new businesses the city Council approved 120 along Fairview and the Macy's parking lot and those will also have impacts on the 121 traffic as well. He wondered how that will figure into traffic counts. 122 123 Mr. Culver indicated as a part of the Conditional Use Permit needed for the drive- 124 throughs for those uses, the traffic numbers were updated. 125 Page 3 of 4
