<br />(cont.) Highway 8 could be modified. The revised study is attached for EDC review <br />(Attachment B). <br /> <br /> Main Updated Study results are as follows: <br />− The remaining development sites for the New Brighton Exchange are <br />expected to generate approximately 3,200 new trips during an average <br />weekday, 350 new trips during the a.m. peak hour, and 380 new trips <br />during the p.m. peak hour. <br />− All study intersections currently operate acceptably in both the a.m. <br />and p.m. peak hours. <br />− The signalized intersections of Old Highway 8/Highway 96 and Old <br />Highway 8/10th Street are forecast to operate acceptably through the <br />2033 Build scenarios. <br />− The westbound 95th percentile queue lengths in the 2033 Build p.m. <br />peak hour at Old Highway 8/14th Street and Old Highway 8/Northwest <br />Parkway are forecast to be longer than desired. <br />− Old Highway 8 has daily volumes that would be able to be supported by <br />a conversion to a three-lane road. <br />− Significant 95th percentile queue lengths are forecast for the 2033 <br />Build p.m. peak hour at the three stop-controlled study intersections <br />when Old Highway 8 is converted to a three-lane road. <br /> <br /> Main Updated Study Final Recommendations are as follows: <br />− Move sight distance obstructions at Old Highway 8/Northwest Parkway <br />to allow for adequate sight distance for vehicles on the side street <br />approaches without needing to pull into the crosswalks. <br />− Stripe westbound 14th Street and Central Park Boulevard to operate <br />with two westbound approach lanes at Old Highway 8. <br />− Once the New Brighton Exchange is fully constructed, new counts be <br />collected and signal warrants be run for the stop-controlled study <br />intersections to determine if/when a signal would be needed based on <br />volumes. <br />− Keep the current four-lane layout along Old Highway 8. <br /> <br /> Staff will review the proposed extension plans and traffic study update <br />with the EDC, and answer questions / identify information to research. <br /> <br />Attachments: A.
