Mr. Daninger stated Andover is a family ra'munity and wants to have things like Maple Grove but they do not have the transportation. He thought they are more like a west metro city. Councilmember Howard asked with his longevity and as Chair, what would he like to see the Council accomplish. Mr. Daninger thought there was more open mindedness on the Council and they also allow the Commission to make more decisions. The Commission is black and white and has a lot of rules that need to be followed. He felt they are the front line to the Council, he did not like a 7 -0 vote or a compassionate vote, and he did like the split vote so the Council Andover City Council Interviews for Commission Openings Minutes —January 14, 2014 Page 2 1 knows what will come before them. He would like to see more discussion on the Commission 2 and he would like the Council to remain open minded. 3 4 Councilmember Bukkila stated previously they were looking at the personalities on the 5 Commission and wanted to shake it up a bit. Mr. Daninger thought the personalities on the 6 board are broader now but they needed more experience to handle the crowd for more complex 7 developments. 8 9 Councilmember Trude thought the experience was needed for the upcoming possible 10 developments and she wondered how they can make sure they maintain what they love about 11 Andover. Mr. Daninger thought with the current rules, the guidance is there and they are doing 12 good things. He thought communication with the staff is good. 13 14 Mr. Daninger stated one of the things he likes to do is make sure the applicant knows what the 15 rules are. 16 17 Councilmember Trude thanked Mr. Daninger for his knowledge and leadership on the 18 Commission. Councilmember Knight thought Mr. Daninger was the filter of the Commission 19 and they needed that in order to get a fair decision. 20 21 Councilmember Trude stated in regard to the City Code the Council is thinking about reverting 22 residential back to verbiage rather than tables and she wondered what Mr. Daninger thought 23 about that. Mr. Daninger stated he is not a red inker and the Commission spent a lot of time on 24 the revisions. He stated he looked at when the code was last changed and thought it was time to 25 review it again and change things that needed updating but he would not want to do that review 26 every year. 27 28 Mr. Daninger noted his daughter plays basketball and he will not miss her games. He indicated 29 he would only miss a couple meetings throughout the year and he understood if the Council had 30 an issue with that.

He also thought everyone had an opinion but should not let their personal feelings sway the decision. Mr. Cleven stated one issue was the case with the dock on the river and the Commission had to try to make the residents realize that they did not need a large dock to maintain stability. He stated another issue was the proposed development where the developer wanted to change from multi - family to single family homes. Mr. Cleven stated he also questions when a development wants to build in a wetland area. Councilmember Howard stated they are going to see a lot more developments and he wondered what type of Commissioner he is, did he tow the line or would he be open to different things. Mr. Cleven stated he would make sure they are meeting all of the rules and regulations and he would watch what the applicant does and how they are presenting the development. He also indicated he has asked staff about some of the engineering practices. Councilmember Trude complimented Mr. Cleven on joining the Commission in a busy year.

Mr. Lindahl 34 stated they have been focusing on fields to accommodate all of the associations but he thought 35 there should be more trails in the City. 36 37 38 Ross Kramer — Open Space Commission/Planning & Zoning Commission 39 40 Was not in attendance for the interview. 41 42 Andover City Council Interviews for Commission Openings Minutes —January 14, 2014 Page 6 1 Sharon Cramer — Open Space Commissiomplanning & Zoning Commission 2 3 Mayor Gamache asked why Ms. Cramer wanted to be on the Commissions.

Ms. VanHecke 38 stated she really enjoys the position. 39 40 Ms. VanHecke stated the Commission is trying to decide if they should send out another mailer 41 reminding the residents of the Open Space referendum and if so, how broad of an area a mailing 42 should be sent.

Mr. Myers stated he has not encountered a lot of material from the City 16 regarding it. He has been to some of the open space land and he thought the Commission would 17 need to go in and weigh the different factors of each parcel to determine what parcel would be 18 good to remain open. He thought it was a matter of working together with the owner of the 19 property. 20 21 Mr. Myers stated he looks at open space differently because he thinks there needs to be diverse 22 areas for people to wander through and not just an area of pine trees. He thought even if a parcel 23 was purchased without anything on it within twenty years, if things are added, there will be 24 something for people to have and use. 25 26 27 Gretchen Sabel — Open Space Commission (Conference Call) 28 29 The City Council called Gretchen Sabel to inform her that she will be reappointed to the Open 30 Space Commission. 31 32 33 The Council reviewed their notes and appointed the following people to the Commissions: 34 35 Park & Recreation Commission 36 37 Jim Lindahl - Full 38 Angela Marinello - Full 39 Sarah Elstrom — One Year Term 40 41 Alternates: None 42 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Andover City Council Interviews for Commission Openings Minutes — January 14, 2014 Page 8 Planning & Zoning Commission Dean Daninger Valerie Holthus Tim Cleven Alternates: Sharon Cramer Second Alternate: Randy Sando Open Space Commission Gretchen Sabel Suzanne VanHecke Alternates: James Myers Motion by Trude, Seconded by Bukkila, to appoint the above people to the Commissions.

He noted that people are not leaving enough 21 stopping distance for the road conditions. 22 23 APPROVE PRELIMINARY PLAT OF BENT CREEK SHORES 24 25 Mr. Carlberg explained the City Council is asked to review a Preliminary Plat for Bent Creek Shores. 26 The proposed preliminary plat contains 6 urban residential lots as proposed by Boulder Contracting, 27 LLC. 28 29 Mr. Carlberg reviewed the staff report with the Council. 30 31 Councilmember Trude wondered if infiltration analysis will be on all of the plats coming in for 32 review. Mr. Berkowitz stated in many cases if they do select the best management practice to create 33 an infiltration basin, they will have to do the test. He stated this is a Coon Creek Watershed District 34 rule and in the future, the City will have it in our rules as well. 35 36 Councilmember Trude stated there is a possibility the development will lose trees due to the 37 infiltration basin. Mr. Berkowitz indicated that is correct. 38 39 Councilmember Bukkila asked since these will all be custom homes, will the normal grading seen on 40 other plats be done here. Mr. Berkowitz stated they will be required to grade the entire site because 41 of low areas. He noted a lot of the trees by the creek will stay and be preserved. 42 43 Mr. Jim Cormere, Boulder Contracting, LLC, 2322171" Lane NE, Ham Lake; stated on January 27t` Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — January 21, 2014 Page 3 1 they will be dealing with the Coon Creek Watershed District issue to describe how some of the water 2 in the front yards will drain, stay onsite, or be mitigated so it does not overflow into the creek. 3 4 Mr. Cormere updated the Council on the development, noting the majority of the homes will be full 5 basement homes in the $275,000- $350,000 price range with deep lots. There is going to be buffering 6 between the homes and the Coon Creek. 7 8 Councilmember Howard noted on Lot 4, 135th Lane is directly across and the lot shows a driveway 9 directed at the street. He wondered if those will be the actual driveway sites or will they be switched. 10 Mr. Cormere stated it depends on how the house will be laid out on the lot but in this case they were 11 put on the side so people do not drive up from the street into the driveways. He stated it would be 12 homeowner preference item. 13 14 Councilmember Howard stated the garage floor elevations are getting pretty close to the City's 15 maximum allowed and wondered if there was any way to step the garage floors down. Mr. Cormere 16 stated it would depend on the style of home. 17 18 Councilmember Howard stated on Lots 1 -3, the elevations are substantially different, which was a 19 concern to him. 20 21 Councilmember Howard wondered what the projected height of the retaining wall will be on the 22 south side of the project. Mr. Berkowitz stated it would be around three feet in height. 23 24 Mayor Gamache thought this plan would fit well with the surrounding neighborhood and looked 25 nice. Councilmember Trude agreed and was glad there was a tree preservation plan. 26 27 Motion by Bukkila, Seconded by Knight, to approve the Preliminary Plat subject to the conditions of 28 Resolution R007 -14. Motion carried unanimously. 29 30 CONSIDER NAMING 40 ACRE SPORTS COMPLEX13535 — 161ST AVENUE NW 112 -31, 31 CONT. 32 33 Mr. Berkowitz stated the City Council is requested approve the naming of the 40 Acre Sports 34 Complex. 35 36 Mr. Berkowitz reviewed the staff report with the Council. 37 38 Mayor Gamache stated there are 66 parks in the City and a number of them are undeveloped 39 neighborhood and mini parks. He stated in looking at the names of the parks, he noticed they 40 have not been very creative in the naming. A lot of the parks named are directional in nature or 41 named after a nearby creek or waterway. To name the 40 acre sports complex he suggested each 42 councilmember pick out their favorite names on the included list and then discuss it at an 43 upcoming workshop. Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — January 21, 2014 Page 4 Councilmember Knight suggested at the end of the park name, they include "sport complex" because it will be a monumental park in the City. Councilmember Trude stated there will be something for everyone at this park. She thought a lot of the parks were already named after people. She would like to go along with the Parks Commission recommendation for the name of the park. 8 Motion by Trude to name the park Pine Hills North Park and if they want to name something 9 after the Bennett Family, they should name the first ballfield on 161St Avenue "Bennett Field." 10 11 Councilmember Trude stated she agreed with the Parks Commission because it is really hard to 12 find some of the parks in the City and it takes a while before the parks will show up on a Google 13 search. 14 15 Mayor Gamache did not understand how the difference between the name of the park will make a 16 big difference. Councilmember Trude stated because it is already in the search engine and it 17 takes one to two years for the name to get into the search. Mayor Gamache thought the teams 18 received a map and addresses of each park that the team is playing on and it is up to the different 19 associations to get the players to the correct fields. 20 21 Mayor Gamache thought if they have an opportunity to name one of the largest parks they are 22 going to have in the City since Sunshine Park, they should take the time to be creative in the 23 naming. 24 25 Councilmember Knight stated this is going to be the centerpiece for the City. 26 27 Motion failed for lack of a second. 28 29 Mayor Gamache suggested the Council pick three or four names from the list for discussion at 30 the February Council Workshop meeting. He suggested the City reach out to the VFWs and 31 American Legions in the area for possible veterans' names and war heros. He thought they 32 should take the time to name it correctly because it will be one of the nicest parks in the City. 33 34 Councilmember Trude stated the last thing they need to think about is that this land has been set 35 up so that it could revert back to development and they have been reluctant to dedicate this land 36 in perpetuity and so she thought that was another reason why she felt less comfortable putting a 37 name on it because it could go away and the Park Commission has agreed with that. Mayor 38 Gamache stated there are plans to split a portion of the land into a park. Mr. Dickinson noted it 39 would be the areas without the ballfields. 40 41 Councilmember Trude thought further discussion should be held on dedicating some of the land 42 to a park. 43 Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — January 21, 2014 Page 5 1 Councilmember Knight suggested putting a permanent sign on 1615` Avenue and Round Lake 2 Boulevard. Mr. Dickinson noted this would be Anoka County right -of -way and would need to be 3 discussed with the County. 4 5 SCHEDULE FEBRUARY WORKSHOP MEETING 6 7 Mr. Dickinson requested the Council schedule a Workshop Meeting to discuss topics as detailed 8 in the staff report. 9 10 Motion by Bukkila, Seconded by Trude, to schedule a Workshop Meeting on February 25, 2014, 11 at 6:00 p.m. Motion carried unanimously. 12 13 SCHEDULE 2014 LOCAL BOARD OF APPEAL & EQUALIZATION 14 15 Mr. Dickinson requested the Council provide dates for the 2014 Local Board of Appeal & 16 Equalization Meeting. Those dates would then be submitted to Anoka County. 17 18 Motion by Trude, Seconded by Bukkila, to submit as the 2014 Local Board of Appeal & 19 Equalization Meeting potential dates as April 22, 2014 or April 29, 2014, at 7:00 p.m. Motion 20 carried unanimously. 21 22 ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT 23 24 City Staff updated the Council on the administration and city department activities, legislative 25 updates, updates on development/CIP projects, and meeting reminders /community events. 26 27 Mayor Gamache thought the January Workshop meeting should be pushed back to 6:30 p.m. in 28 order to allow the Councilmembers attending the Legislative Reception to not have to leave 29 early. 30 31 Motion by Bukkila, Seconded by Howard, to move the time of the City Council Workshop to 32 6:30 p.m. on January 28, 2014. Motion carried unanimously. 33 34 MAYOR/COUNCIL INPUT 35 36 (Lane Closure on Bunker Lake Boulevard) Councilmember Trude asked staff for clarification 37 on the lane closure on Bunker Lake Boulevard by the Festival Foods entrance. Mr. Berkowitz 38 indicated a garbage hauler hit the stop light arm and disabled the stop light. He noted the lane 39 had to be closed for a portion of the time in order to remove the pole. He explained the County 40 has yet to decide if they want to place a temporary signal or if they will stay with the four -way 41 stop.

Berkowitz, Director of Publlsforks /City Engineer SUBJECT: Accept Feasibility Report/Order Public Hearing/12- 37A/Andover Blvd. NW & Crosstown Blvd. NW Turn Lane Improvements - Engineering DATE: February 5, 2014 INTRODUCTION The City Council is requested to accept the feasibility report and order the public hearing for Project 12 -37A, Andover Boulevard NW & Crosstown Boulevard NW Turn Lane Improvements. DISCUSSION In March of 2013 a traffic analysis was conducted by a traffic consultant to look at near term and long term solutions to improve traffic flow around Andover High School and the surrounding area during A.M. and P.M. peak traffic flow. Several near term scenarios were identified in the report. The scenarios were discussed with Anoka County Highway Department and Anoka Hennepin School District. The results of the study identified that the extension of the right turn lane on Crosstown Boulevard along with a free flowing right and auxiliary lane on Andover Boulevard to the Andover High School entrance (see attached Figure 3B) would provide the most benefit for the cost. This was discussed and agreed to by all parties. Funding was also part of the discussion. The County verbally agreed to participate in improvements on Crosstown Boulevard and the City verbally committed to fund half the cost for improvements on Andover Boulevard if the Anoka Hennepin School District would cover the remaining half. At the time of the meeting the school district could not commit to that. Staff met with all parties recently to discuss the feasibility report. The attached feasibility report identifies detailed costs and follows State Statute 429 for assessing improvement cost to benefitting properties (Anoka Hennepin School District). BUDGETIMPACT The feasibility report identifies funding for the project. The total project cost is estimated at $569,510.00. The city's portion of the project would be $249,310.00 (funded using Municipal State Aid Funds), $184,420.00 from Anoka County and $135,780.00 from Anoka Hennepin ISD 11.

This project is identified in the City's 2014 -2018 Capital Improvement Plan for construction in 2014. The City hired Bolton & Menk, Inc. to prepare a Traffic Analysis in the spring of 2013 to determine potential improvements for traffic congestion adjacent to Andover High School along Crosstown Boulevard NW and Andover Boulevard NW. The proposed option that was presented to the City Council and is detailed in this report would include extending the southbound right turn lane on Crosstown Boulevard NW, construction of an auxiliary lane on westbound Andover Boulevard, and necessary traffic signal system improvements. City staff has held preliminary design and funding meetings with the Anoka County Highway Department and the Anoka Hennepin School District #11 regarding the project. These two agencies, along with the City of Andover, are identified in the feasibility report to fund the improvements. The total estimated cost of the proposed improvements is $569,510.00. This estimated cost includes construction costs, contingencies, and indirect costs. The project would be funded through special assessments (to AHSD #11), the City's Road and Bridge Fund (in turn reimbursed through Municipal State Aid Funds), and through County funds. Funding for the project is estimated as follows: City of Andover: $249,310.00 Anoka County: $184,420.00 Anoka Hennepin School District #11: $135,780.00 We recommend that the City Council review this report and, if acceptable, proceed with project implementation as proposed.

These roadways and their intersections were analyzed to quantify existing and projected traffic related issues, and to provide potential short and long term solutions to the traffic issues around the Andover High School. In March of 2013, the Andover Area Traffic Analysis report prepared by Bolton & Menk, Inc. was presented to the City of Andover (attached in Appendix). This report presented existing and projected traffic conditions at four key intersections along the previously mentioned corridors. The report confirmed that providing traffic congestion relief for the Andover Boulevard NW and Crosstown Boulevard NW intersection, which is adjacent to Andover High School, is key to improving traffic flow in this general vicinity. A major factor in the congestion in this area is that the peak AM rush hour traffic coincides with the early morning traffic for students / employees of the Andover High School. Bolton & Menk, Inc. proposed six different alternatives in the analysis to help provide congestion relief at the intersection of Crosstown Boulevard NW & Andover Boulevard NW. Through discussions with the City Council, Andover Engineering Department, Anoka County Highway Department, and Anoka Hennepin School District #11, it was determined that Alt 3B made the most sense to implement from a short term, long term, and economic perspective. This feasibility report expands on Alt. 3B as originally presented and goes into further detail on funding of the proposed improvements and project timelines. A project location map is included in the Appendix as Exhibit 1. 2.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS Crosstown Boulevard NW is under the jurisdiction of the Anoka County Highway Department. It is a two lane undivided roadway that goes in a north/south direction just east of Andover High School. It is a rural section roadway north of Andover Boulevard NW (with the exception of curb and gutter along the southbound right turn lane at Andover Boulevard NW). Andover Boulevard NW is under the jurisdiction of the City of Andover. It is a two lane undivided roadway that goes in an east /west direction just south of the Andover High School. It is an urban section roadway with concrete curb and gutter both east and west of Crosstown Boulevard NW. 1 There are currently through lanes and dedicated left and right turn lanes on all legs of the signalized intersection of Andover Boulevard NW and Crosstown Boulevard NW. The traffic signal control / cabinet is located in the southeast quadrant of the intersection. There are existing 10 foot wide paths on the west side of Crosstown Boulevard NW (north of Andover Boulevard) and the north side of Andover Boulevard NW (west of Crosstown Boulevard NW). Figure 1 in the Appendix depicts the existing conditions of the intersection. Storm water runoff in this area is handled via concrete curb and gutter, storm sewers, and ditches. All stormwater flow from this area is ultimately tributary to Coon Creek. Stormwater runoff from Crosstown Boulevard NW north of Andover Boulevard NW flows south to the intersection. There is a shallow drainage swale between the roadway and trail that handles runoff from Crosstown Boulevard NW from the southerly school entrance to the northern limits of the southbound turn lane. At this point, runoff either flows back onto Crosstown Boulevard NW and flows via curb and gutter to the south, or some flow might flow south and west via overland flow into the low area north of the intersection. Since Crosstown Boulevard NW is super - elevated adjacent to the southbound right turn lane, the majority of the runoff from Crosstown Boulevard NW is directed west via curb and gutter around the intersection to an existing storm sewer system located approximately 150' west of the intersection along Andover Boulevard NW. This storm sewer system picks up the low area in the northwest quadrant of the intersection as well, and the majority of the stormwater flow to this low area comes from the Andover High School site. The system discharges west into an existing storm water pond / wetland on the north side of Andover Boulevard NW. This wetland then discharges south across Andover Boulevard NW and into Coon Creek. Stormwater runoff from Andover Boulevard NW east of Crosstown Boulevard NW flows to an existing storm sewer system just east of the intersection and discharges south into Coon Creek. Stormwater runoff from Andover Boulevard NW west of Crosstown Boulevard NW flows to several existing storm sewer systems, which discharge north into ponds and wetlands on the Andover High School property. These ponds / wetlands are interconnected, and they all discharge south across Andover Boulevard NW via an existing culvert located approximately 700' west of Crosstown Boulevard NW, which flows to Coon Creek. This project is located within the Coon Creek Watershed District (CCWD). Figure 2 in the Appendix depicts a schematic diagram of the stormwater runoff for this general vicinity. 3.0 PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS The proposed improvements are based upon Alt 3B from the Andover Area Traffic Analysis completed in March 2013 (attached in the Appendix as Attachment A). In general, Alt 3B would include the following improvements: Extend the southbound right turn lane along Crosstown Boulevard NW by approximately 900', • Construct a free -right median for southbound to westbound traffic, 10 • Construct an auxiliary lane along Andover Boulevard NW from Crosstown Boulevard NW to the intersection with the Andover High School driveway, and • Construct signal modifications. A schematic of Alt 3B depicting the proposed improvements is included in the Appendix as Figure 3. The final design will likely include some minor modifications to the preliminary layout once the design is analyzed in further detail. A brief summary of the necessary improvements is included below. For a detailed description of the proposed improvements for Alt 3B from the preliminary layout perspective, refer to the memorandum from Bolton & Menk, Inc. dated May 6, 2013, included in the Appendix as Attachment B. Crosstown Boulevard NW Improvements The key improvement along Crosstown Boulevard NW would take place north of Andover Boulevard. This would include extending the existing 300' southbound right turn lane to the north by an additional 900' + / -. The turn lane would begin just south of the existing southerly Andover High School entrance. The turn lane would include concrete curb and gutter and likely some combination of ditch flow between the new back of curb and the existing trail, as well as some storm sewer to handle stormwater runoff. The majority of the existing trail along Crosstown Boulevard NW should remain in place under this scenario.. There will be approximately 10' of green space between the new back of curb along this section and the existing trail. Pavement spread calculations along the turn lane will be analyzed to comply with State Aid Standards, which will dictate where curb cuts and/or catch basins and storm sewer are required. This will be determined during final design. The stormwater runoff would likely be directed to the low area in the northwest quadrant of the intersection on property currently owned by the Andover High School or around the corner via gutter flow if pavement spread calculations will allow. Stormwater runoff from a portion of Crosstown Boulevard NW and approximately 5 acres of the Andover High School site currently flows to the low area in the northwest corner of the intersection. A drainage and utility easement should be procured from the Andover High School property for this low area. This low area is drained by an existing storm sewer system in Andover Boulevard NW west of Crosstown Boulevard NW. The outlet to this low area will need to be extended as a part of this project. Free Right Median Improvements A concrete median will be constructed in the northwest quadrant of this intersection to allow southbound traffic to freely turn right into a dedicated westbound lane without stopping at the intersection or waiting for a green light. The concrete median will be extended west of the intersection approximately 100' to improve the traffic flow through the intersection. The existing traffic signal pole in this quadrant will need to be removed and replaced. Work to replace / relocate existing signal loop detectors will also be completed. The bituminous trail in this quadrant will be removed and relocated further north. The existing 10' trail will be replaced with an 8' trail to minimize costs and right of way impacts to the Andover High School property. There is an existing Andover High School monument sign in 3 11 this quadrant that may need to be relocated further north. This will ultimately be determined during final design. A cost for relocating the sign is included in the cost estimates. Improvements to the existing pedestrian curb ramps in all four quadrants of the intersection will be made so they comply with current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. Andover Boulevard NW Improvements The key improvement along Andover Boulevard NW will include construction of a dedicated auxiliary lane for southbound traffic from Crosstown Boulevard NW. The existing westbound through lane will remain in place. The auxiliary lane will begin at the Crosstown Boulevard NW intersection and will allow for approximately 1,000' of weaving between the auxiliary lane and the westbound through lane prior to terminating as a westbound right turn lane into the school property. The existing shoulder along this portion of the roadway will be eliminated. In general the proposed back of curb will be moving approximately 5' to the north of the existing back of curb. In areas where the roadway is being widened, existing catch basins /storm sewer will need to be relocated to the proposed curb line and three existing fire hydrants will need to be extended behind the new trail location. This widening improvement will require reconstruction of a portion of the existing 10' wide trail in the northern boulevard of Andover Boulevard NW. The majority of this trail relocation will take place closer to the intersection. Between the intersection and where the roadway widening terminates, the existing trail will be reduced from 10' to 8' wide be removing the inside 2' of the existing trail. By reducing the trail width in this location, it is possible to leave the majority of the existing trail in place, while maintaining 4' -5' of green space between the back of curb and edge of trail for signing and snow storage. The Andover Area Traffic Analysis identified additional improvements that could be made to the existing signal system at this intersection (refer to May 6, 2013 Memo from Bolton & Menk, Inc for details of other potential improvements, Attachment B in the Appendix). Through discussions with the Anoka County Highway Department, they have no plans to fund any of the additional improvements nor does the City of Andover, so those costs are not considered in this report. Wetland Impacts There are existing wetlands located north of Andover Boulevard NW and west of Crosstown Boulevard NW. By reducing the trail width from 10' to 8' along Andover Boulevard NW, the existing wetland should not be impacted with this project. 4.0 RIGHT -OF WAY / EASEMENT The majority of the work will take place within existing County (along Crosstown Boulevard NW) or City (along Andover Boulevard NW) right of way. However, improvements in the northwest quadrant of the intersection will require acquiring some permanent right of way from the Anoka Hennepin School District #11. A drainage and utility easement outside of the proposed permanent right of way should also be acquired in this same quadrant for stormwater runoff that flows to the low area in this vicinity. Preliminary right of way requirements were determined by Bolton & Menk, Inc. as a part of the Andover Area Traffic Analysis. Actual right 12 of way and easement requirements will be determined during final design. The City of Andover will need to work with the school district to acquire the necessary right of way and easements. Exhibit 4 in the Appendix depicts the preliminary right of way needs for the proposed improvements. 5.0 PERMITS The City of Andover Engineering Department will obtain any necessary permits for the project. Permits will be required from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (NPDES Stormwater Permit), Coon Creek Watershed District, and the Anoka County Highway Department. 6.0 ESTIMATED PROJECT COSTS The total estimated project cost is $569,510.00. This estimated cost includes construction costs, contingencies (10 %), indirect costs, and right of way / easement acquisition. These costs are estimated based upon preliminary design work prepared by Bolton & Menk, Inc as a part of the Andover Area Traffic Analysis. The actual cost will be based upon actual work completed by the contractor, unit bid prices for the project, and actual expenses. A summary of the estimated construction costs is in the table below (does not include indirect costs): Crosstown Boulevard NW Improvements: $106,640.00 Free Right Median Improvements: $12200.00 Andover Boulevard Improvements: $153,860.00 Traffic Signal Modifications: $ 51,150.00 Pedestrian Ramp Improvements: $ 9.040.00 Total Estimated Construction Costs: $442,770.00 A detailed Preliminary Cost Estimate is included in the Appendix as Exhibit 5. 7.0 FUNDING/ ASSESSMENTS This project will be funded by the three agencies that benefit / are impacted by the project, namely the City of Andover, Anoka County, and the Anoka Hennepin School District #11. The Anoka County Highway Department will be responsible for all costs associated with work along Crosstown Boulevard NW. The City of Andover and the Anoka Hennepin School District #11 will be jointly responsible for all work that takes place along Andover Boulevard NW (50/50 split). Costs associated with the signal modifications will be jointly funded by the City of Andover and the Anoka Hennepin School District #11 (50/50 split). The free right median improvements will be jointly funded by all three parties. 50% of the intersection is attributed to Crosstown Boulevard NW (Anoka County Funding), and 50% of the intersection is attributed to Andover Boulevard NW (50/50 split between City of Andover and Anoka Hennepin School District). 13 The City of Andover's costs will be funded through the Road and Bridge Fund, and in turn reimbursed through Municipal State Aid funds. Costs for the Anoka Hennepin School District #11 will be assessed to the school property. Funding for the Anoka County portion of the project will follow the assessment process, but it how it will be paid is at their discretion. The City of Andover will work on the acquisition of the necessary right of way and drainage and utility easements. This is identified as a 2/3 City cost and 1/3 Anoka County Cost. Agency Estimated Cost Anoka County Highway Department $1841420.00 Anoka Hennepin School District #11 $135,780.00 City of Andover $249,310.00 Project Totals $569,510.00 A detailed Preliminary Assessment Worksheet is included in the Appendix as Exhibit 6. 8.0 PROPOSED PROJECT SCHEDULE For projects that include special assessments, the City is required to follow the process outlined in Minnesota Statutes Chapter 429. If the project is initiated by the City Council, the project schedule would be as follows: City Council orders feasibility report City Council receives feasibility report / Orders Public Hearing Hold Public Hearing / Authorize plans and specs City Council approves plans and specs and authorizes ad for bids Advertise in the Anoka Union and Quest CDN Receive bids City Council awards contract Contractor begins construction (School is out 6/11/14) Project Substantially Complete Project Final Completion 9.0 CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS 9.1 Conclusions As a result of this study, we conclude that: 12/17/13 2/5/14 3/4/14 4/1/14 4/4/18 - 4/18/14 4/29/14 5/6/14 6/16/14 8/15/14 8/29/14 The improvements at this intersection are necessary to alleviate traffic congestion adjacent to the Andover High School. 14 2. The total estimated cost for the proposed improvements is $569,510.00. These estimated costs include construction costs, contingencies and indirect costs. 3.

A study to analyze traffic was completed to determine and /or verify existing traffic issues, develop near term solutions and provide a strategy for long term solutions. The study was primarily focused on the following roadways: • Hanson Boulevard from Andover Boulevard to Crosstown Boulevard (E -W), • Crosstown Boulevard (E -W) from Hanson Boulevard to Nightingale Street, • Crosstown Boulevard (N -S) from Andover Boulevard to Nightingale Street, and • Andover Boulevard from Crosstown Boulevard (N -S) to Hanson Boulevard. See Figure A for study area boundary and key roadways. EXISTING TRAFFIC CONDITIONS Traffic modeling was performed on the existing roadway network using traffic data obtained from Anoka County. The majority of the data was collected in 2012 and represents existing traffic volumes and patterns. The following table depicts Level of Service (LOS) for the roadways and intersections in the study area. A Level of Service understanding sheet is included in the appendix of this report. NA = No traffic counts were available at this location for this time period. The intersection analysis indicates long morning queues for the following locations: • Southbound Hanson Boulevard at Crosstown Boulevard (1009 ft), • Southbound Hanson Boulevard at Andover Boulevard (4097 ft), • Northbound Crosstown Boulevard at Andover Boulevard (736 ft), • Southbound Crosstown Boulevard at Andover Boulevard (2990 ft), and • Westbound Andover Boulevard at Hanson Boulevard (778 ft). The Early Afternoon peak occurs when the High School is letting out for the day. No significant queuing was found, and the intersections with both Andover Boulevard and Nightingale Street were found to operate at acceptable Levels of Service. LONG TERM SOLUTIONS Our analysis indicates that the following improvements will be required within the study area to accommodate 2030 traffic volumes: • Hanson Boulevard, Crosstown Boulevard and Andover Boulevard will all need to be reconstructed to 4 -lane divided roadway sections, 1 26 Morning Early Afternoon Evening Intersection 7:00 to 8:00 AM 2:15 to 3:15 PM 4:15 to 5:15 PM Andover & Crosstown F C NA Andover & Hanson F NA F Crosstown & Nightingale A A A Crosstown & Hanson E NA C NA = No traffic counts were available at this location for this time period. The intersection analysis indicates long morning queues for the following locations: • Southbound Hanson Boulevard at Crosstown Boulevard (1009 ft), • Southbound Hanson Boulevard at Andover Boulevard (4097 ft), • Northbound Crosstown Boulevard at Andover Boulevard (736 ft), • Southbound Crosstown Boulevard at Andover Boulevard (2990 ft), and • Westbound Andover Boulevard at Hanson Boulevard (778 ft). The Early Afternoon peak occurs when the High School is letting out for the day. No significant queuing was found, and the intersections with both Andover Boulevard and Nightingale Street were found to operate at acceptable Levels of Service. LONG TERM SOLUTIONS Our analysis indicates that the following improvements will be required within the study area to accommodate 2030 traffic volumes: • Hanson Boulevard, Crosstown Boulevard and Andover Boulevard will all need to be reconstructed to 4 -lane divided roadway sections, 1 26 27 • Traffic control in the means of a traffic signal or roundabout will be required at the intersection of Nightingale Street and Crosstown Boulevard, and • Andover Boulevard will need to be extended to the west to Round Lake Boulevard to accommodate potential future High School expansion(s). During our meetings with City, County and ISD 11 staff, discussions related to long term improvement strategies for the corridors were reviewed. At these meetings, Anoka County indicated that no improvements were planned for the study roadways and intersections within the foreseeable future. While amenable to allowing improvements to occur, the County isn't anticipating initiating any improvements in the near future. The long term improvements will be implemented as funding sources become available for the City and County. The following represents the most likely sequence of those improvements based on current traffic patterns and projected growth trends: 1. Expansion of Hanson Blvd to a four -lane divided highway from Jay Street to north of Andover Blvd, 2. Expansion of Hanson Blvd to a four -lane divided highway from Andover Blvd to just north of Oak View Middle School, including intersection improvements at Hanson Blvd and Crosstown Blvd, 3. Expansion of Crosstown Blvd to a four -lane divided facility from Nightingale to Hanson Blvd and intersection improvements at Nightingale Street and Crosstown Blvd, 4. Intersection improvements at Andover Blvd and Crosstown Blvd, 5. Expansion of Crosstown Blvd to add turn lanes at all intersections from Nightingale Street to Andover Blvd, 6. Expansion of Andover Blvd to a 3 -Lane facility OR 7. Andover Blvd will be expanded to the west to Round Lake Blvd, followed by: a. Expansion of Andover Blvd to a four -lane divided facility from Crosstown to Hanson Blvd, b. Expansion of Crosstown Blvd to a four -lane divided facility from Nightingale Street to Andover Blvd, c. Expansion of Crosstown Blvd to a four -lane divided facility from Andover Blvd to Bunker Lake Blvd. Sequencing of improvements is graphically depicted on Figures B and C. SUMMARY OF NEAR TERM ALTERNATIVES /SOLUTIONS Several alternatives were reviewed related to providing near term solutions to congestion and safety within the study area. The table on the following page provides a brief description of the improvement, estimated costs and relative benefit to the area.

A study to analyze traffic was completed to determine and /or verify existing traffic issues, develop near term solutions and provide a strategy for long term solutions. The study was primarily focused on the following roadways: • Hanson Boulevard from Andover Boulevard to Crosstown Boulevard (E -W), • Crosstown Boulevard (E -W) from Hanson Boulevard to Nightingale Street, • Crosstown Boulevard (N -S) from Andover Boulevard to Nightingale Street, and • Andover Boulevard from Crosstown Boulevard (N -S) to Hanson Boulevard. Crosstown Boulevard extends north and south along the westerly edge of the study area, but also extends east and west across the northerly edge of the study area. The "N -S" designation refers to the north -south segment, while the "E -W" designation refers to the east -west segment of the roadway. The area is depicted on Figure A. KEY AREAS OF STUDY The roadways described above form a loop in Andover's transportation network. Four critical intersections are formed as follows: • Hanson Boulevard and Andover Boulevard, • Hanson Boulevard and Crosstown Boulevard (E -W), • Crosstown Boulevard (E -W) and Nightingale Street /Crosstown Boulevard (N -S), and • Crosstown Boulevard (N -S) and Andover Boulevard. In addition to these key intersections, the study focused on driveways to /from the Andover High School off of Crosstown Boulevard (N -S) and the access into the High School off of Andover Boulevard. The internal circulation patterns of the High School parking lot were reviewed as a portion of the analysis. Access, traffic flow patterns, safety and capacity were reviewed along all roadway segments and intersections within the study area. KEY STUDY PARTICIPANTS While the City of Andover initiated the study, other interested parties provided input and feedback. In addition to the City of Andover, the following were stakeholders for the project: • Anoka County Highway Department —with the exception of Andover Boulevard, the remaining key roadways within the study area are under County jurisdiction. 43 Anoka Hennepin School District (ISD 11) — traffic to and from the High School and, to a lesser extent, the Elementary school are contributors to congestion on the roadways. Traffic patterns at the High School were found to be critical to understanding the traffic issues and developing potential mitigation strategies. Stakeholders were invited to a kick -off meeting to discuss the intent and scope of the study. Progress meetings with City staff were held, followed by additional meetings with stakeholders to discuss information related to potential solutions. See the appendix for a February 25, 2013 letter from ISD 11 related to the study and study alternatives. COORDINATION OF IMPROVEMENTS The City is reconstructing Nightingale Street from Crosstown Boulevard to 16151 Avenue in 2013. The Crosstown Boulevard and Nightingale Street intersection operations are influenced by the traffic entering and leaving the high school during peak AM and PM time periods. This traffic study analyzed near -term solutions that could alleviate the long traffic queues and bring additional safety to turning movements at the Nightingale Street and Crosstown Boulevard intersection. KNOWN ISSUES Through conversations with the City, County and ISD 11 staff, combined with site reviews performed by our staff, we gained an understanding of some of the key elements involved with the study: • The primary concerns are the AM and PM peak hours. The congestion is especially intensified due to traffic related to Andover High School and Andover Elementary School during the AM Peak hours. • The neighborhoods located to the north of Crosstown Boulevard are somewhat limited in their means of access to TH 10. Commuter traffic originating from these neighborhoods and attempting to travel to the Minneapolis /St. Paul area access this roadway loop via Nightingale Street. This creates intense congestion during the AM peak hours as the commuters are vying with school traffic for space on the roadways. • Crosstown Boulevard is a 2 -lane roadway nearing its peak capacity at over 10,000 vehicles per day. Typically, when a roadway eclipses 10,000 AADT, expansion of the roadway may be needed. • The Nightingale Street and Crosstown Boulevard intersection currently meets warrants for a traffic signal. • The southbound right turn lane on Crosstown Boulevard at Andover Boulevard becomes backed up in the morning peak hour as students try to gain access to the High School. This causes the right turning vehicles to overflow into the through lane, blocking the through movement and congesting the roadway. • While there are currently no left turns allowed into the High School driveways for northbound traffic, busses are allowed to make this turn. These left turning busses can block the through movement while waiting for a gap in the southbound traffic. • The lack of gaps along Crosstown Boulevard causes southbound traffic on Nightingale Street to back up during the morning peak hour. 44 • There is a pedestrian crossing along Crosstown Boulevard at 149th Avenue. The County would like to see it removed. Residents want to see it remain, but made safer. • 150th Lane is located on Nightingale Street, just north of Crosstown Boulevard. There is a tight spacing concern between Nightingale Street and 150th Lane. • Crosstown Boulevard, south of Andover Boulevard, is restricted by a narrow bridge. • In the east -west portion of Crosstown Boulevard, there are many accesses and the existing accesses aren't aligned. • There are crash and safety concerns on Bluebird Street and 145th Avenue east of Hanson Boulevard. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REVIEW While the primary intent of this study is to develop short-term strategies for the area roadways, long- term solutions must also be considered. The following paragraphs present information taken from the City and County Transportation Plans as they relate to this corridor. Andover Transportation Plan The City's Transportation Plan, dated May 2009, was reviewed to understand previous planning efforts and long -term solutions envisioned for this area. Key elements derived from the City Plan include the following: • Andover Boulevard, Nightingale Boulevard and Crosstown Boulevard (east of Hanson Boulevard) are currently Municipal State Aid Streets. Hanson Boulevard is a County State Aid Highway, while both segments of Crosstown Boulevard are County Roads. • Both segments of Crosstown Boulevard, along with Hanson Boulevard, represent Minor Arterials within the City's roadway network. Andover Boulevard, Nightingale Street (north of Crosstown Boulevard) and Crosstown Boulevard (east of Hanson Boulevard) represent Collector streets within the City's roadway network. These designations remain the same for the 2030 projection. • Traffic volumes on the study area roadways are some of the highest within the City. The Plan lists volumes from 2005, but the more current MnDOT volumes are as follows: • Hanson Boulevard = 14,000 AADT (17,450 projected for 2030) • Crosstown Boulevard (N -S) = 10,500 AADT (15,100 projected for 2030) • Crosstown Boulevard (E -W) = 7,800 AADT (12,850 projected for 2030) • Andover Boulevard = 3,900 AADT (12,800 projected for 2030) • Nightingale Street = 9,950 AADT (10,900 projected for 2030) • Existing trails are located along all roadways within the study area with the exception of Andover Boulevard. • The intersection of Nightingale Street and Crosstown Boulevard is listed as an Intersection Hot Spot requiring further analysis. The existing conditions for the intersection indicate all movements were at a Level of Service (LOS) B or better for the intersection at the time the City's Plan was prepared. • Key improvement concepts yet to be completed for Crosstown Boulevard along the study corridor include the following: • Right -in /Right -out at 146th Avenue • Right -in /Right -out at 149th Avenue Anoka County Transportation Plan The County's Transportation Plan, dated December 2008, was reviewed to better understand the County's vision for this area. Key elements derived from the County Plan include the following: Hanson Boulevard through this area is listed as a 2030 problem corridor with Medium needs based on a low, medium and high scale of needs. Hanson Boulevard is listed as a roadway in need of expansion, while a new north -south roadway is envisioned that would parallel Crosstown Boulevard to the west. The roadway would be constructed to provide relief to Hanson Boulevard and Round Lake Boulevard. • Both segments of Crosstown Boulevard are envisioned as being turned back to the City. The above improvements are listed in the short -term category (2009 -2015) of the County's Plan. Although they are listed in the County's Plan, consultation with Anoka County will be required to determine the actual funding availability to implement the improvements as scheduled. Additionally, planning efforts continually evolve and change. Coordination and communication will be critical with the County to determine the current schedule of any proposed improvements planned for the area. PLANNED IMPROVEMENTS AND FINANCIAL CONSTRAINTS During our meetings with City, County and ISD 11 staff, discussions related to long term improvements strategies for the corridors was discussed. At these meetings, Anoka County indicated that no improvements were planned for the study roadways and intersections within the foreseeable future. While amenable to allowing improvements to occur, the County isn't anticipating initiating any improvements in the near future. EXISTING TRAFFIC CONDITIONS Traffic modeling was performed on the existing roadway network using traffic data obtained from Anoka County. The majority of the data was collected in 2012 and represents existing traffic volumes and patterns. Where existing data wasn't available, assumptions were made relative to daily and hourly volumes. The following table depicts Level of Service (LOS) for the roadways and intersections in the study area. A Level of Service understanding sheet is included in the appendix of this report.

NA 45 The intersection analysis indicates long morning queues for the following locations: • Southbound Hanson Boulevard at Crosstown Boulevard (1009 ft), • Southbound Hanson Boulevard at Andover Boulevard (4097 ft), • Northbound Crosstown Boulevard at Andover Boulevard (736 ft), • Southbound Crosstown Boulevard at Andover Boulevard (2990 ft), and • Westbound Andover Boulevard at Hanson Boulevard (778 ft). W. The Early Afternoon peak occurs when the High School is letting out for the day. Traffic counts were only made along Crosstown Boulevard during this time period, as the traffic is focused in that area. No significant queuing was found, and the intersections with both Andover Boulevard and Nightingale Street were found to operate at acceptable Levels of Service. The complete traffic analysis report can be found in the appendix of this study. PLANNING LEVEL CONSIDERATIONS (LONG TERM SOLUTIONS) Based on our review of the corridor and available documents, all roadways and intersections within the study area are recognized as being vital to Andover's and Anoka County's transportation network. Roadway widening and expansions are depicted in the Transportation Plans for Hanson Boulevard, Crosstown Boulevard and Andover Boulevard. Additionally, Andover Boulevard is projected to be extended to the west to provide a connection to Round Lake Boulevard. Using 2030 projected AADTs from the 2005 City of Andover Transportation Plan, turning movement counts at the four main intersections within the study area were developed. The analysis was completed again using these high traffic volumes, and assumes no improvements are made to the roadways, intersections or traffic signals within the study area. Morning Early Afternoon Evening Intersection 7:00 to 8:00 AM 2:15 to 3:15 PM 4.15 to 5.15 PM Andover & Crosstown F F NA Andover & Hanson F NA F Crosstown & Nightingale F C F Crosstown & Hanson F NA F NA = No traffic counts were available at this location for this time period Conditions in 2030 pose delays high enough to make the study area roadways and intersections close to impassible during peak hour conditions if no significant improvements are made. Vehicles queues in excess of 1000 ft are seen throughout the area. Due to the high delay caused by additional traffic in 2030, longer -term geometric improvements will be required. These long term improvements consist of major upgrades to the roadways and intersections in the study area. This also indicates that any near term improvements to the roadway network will most likely be removed to allow for future long term improvements to be constructed. Our analysis indicates that the following improvements will be required within the study area to accommodate 2030 traffic volumes: • Hanson Boulevard, Crosstown Boulevard and Andover Boulevard will all need to be reconstructed to 4 -lane divided roadway sections, • Traffic control in the means of a traffic signal or roundabout will be required at the intersection of Nightingale Street and Crosstown Boulevard, and • Andover Boulevard will need to be extended to the west to Round Lake Boulevard to accommodate potential future High School expansion(s). The existing roadway sections and proposed long range improvements are depicted on Figure 1. The long term improvements will be implemented as funding sources become available for the City and County. The following represents the most likely sequence of those improvements based on current traffic patterns and projected growth trends: 1. Expansion of Hanson Blvd to a four -lane divided highway from Jay Street to north of Andover Blvd, 2. Expansion of Hanson Blvd to a four -lane divided highway from Andover Blvd to just north of Oak View Middle School, including intersection improvements at Hanson Blvd and Crosstown Blvd, 3. Expansion of Crosstown Blvd to a four -lane divided facility from Nightingale to Hanson Blvd and intersection improvements at Nightingale Street and Crosstown Blvd, 4. Intersection improvements at Andover Blvd and Crosstown Blvd, 5. Expansion of Crosstown Blvd to add turn lanes at all intersections from Nightingale Street to Andover Blvd, 6. Expansion of Andover Blvd to a 3 -Lane facility OR 7. Andover Blvd will be expanded to the west to Round Lake Blvd, followed by: a. Expansion of Andover Blvd to a four -lane divided facility from Crosstown to Hanson Blvd, b. Expansion of Crosstown Blvd to a four -lane divided facility from Nightingale Street to Andover Blvd, c. Expansion of Crosstown Blvd to a four -lane divided facility from Andover Blvd to Bunker Lake Blvd. Sequencing of improvements is graphically depicted on Figures B and C. NEAR TERM CONSIDERATIONS Long term solutions for the study area roadways will require significant planning, as funding sources have not been identified by either the City or the County. Because portions of the roadway network are failing at this time, near -term, low -cost solutions need to be brought forward to help mitigate these issues. 47 Three primary areas of focus for near term improvements were identified through site observations and discussion with the project partners: • Congestion in the AM peak hour for southbound Crosstown Boulevard, • The Nightingale Street and Crosstown Boulevard intersection area, and • The pedestrian crossing of Crosstown Boulevard at 149`h Avenue. Q For each of the options analyzed, 2012 traffics counts were used as provided by Anoka County. While this doesn't take into account growth that may occur, it provides a means of comparing alternatives and using engineering judgment to determine the value of each improvement analyzed. Crosstown Boulevard During the AM peak hour, commuters from north and west of the High School are vying for roadway space with traffic related to the High School. During the afternoon period, these commuters are separated by time, as the High School lets out prior to the commuters returning to the area. During the worst 15 minutes of the AM peak hour, traffic backs up on Crosstown Boulevard, from the Andover Boulevard traffic signal, past Nightingale Boulevard. The potential for improvements on Crosstown Boulevard south of Andover Boulevard are limited due to an existing bridge. Short term improvements would need to occur north of Andover Boulevard. Each option analyzed could be implemented alone, or in combination with other alternatives, to provide relief from congestion in the area. Alternative 1— Southbound Right Turn Lane at Andover Boulevard Southbound traffic along Andover Boulevard backs up beyond Nightingale Street at times during the morning rush hour. This is due to nearly equal numbers of vehicles continuing south through the intersection and turning right at the intersection to access the High School. Adding capacity at the intersection would need to be in the form of an extended right turn lane. Additional through lanes aren't possible due to the narrow bridge located immediately south of the intersection. The existing right turn lane is 300 feet long. Lengthening this turn lane would add storage at the intersection. There is approximately 1250 feet from Andover Boulevard to the south school entrance in which to construct a turn lane. The turn lane should start a minimum of 50 feet south of the entrance and be constructed with a 10:1 taper. This leaves approximately 1080 feet for the turn lane. The following table provides a comparison of traffic parameters for southbound Crosstown Boulevard traffic both with and without the longer turn lane. Extended Right Parameter Existing Turn Lane Level of Service F F Delay (seconds) 753 663 Queue Length (feet) 2990 2725 The data shown relates to the individual southbound direction at the intersection. The overall intersection Level of Service also remains at an F during this time period. Queues continue to extend through Nightingale Boulevard during the AM peak hour. The primary reason that the lengthened turn lane doesn't appreciably improve the condition relates to northbound left turning vehicles. While the northbound vehicles are turning left, the southbound vehicles can't make the right turn, backing traffic up along Crosstown Boulevard. 10 HIF Costs associated with this alternative are estimated at $110,000. See Figure 1 for a graphical representation of this alternative. Alternative 2 - Signal System Revisions By revising the signal system at the Andover Boulevard and Crosstown Boulevard intersection, the southbound right turning vehicles could be given a green right arrow while the eastbound vehicle are turning left onto northbound Crosstown Boulevard. This allows the right turning vehicles the ability to turn freely, without needing to stop prior to turning. The following table depicts the results of our analysis based on the signal system revisions. Signal System Parameter Existing Revisions Level of Service F F Delay (seconds) 753 714 Queue Length (feet) 2990 2865 While this does minimally improve the conditions at the intersection, the high volume of right turning vehicles still proves to be an issue, as traffic continues to back up to Nightingale Street with this improvement alone. Because of the long queues associated with this alternative, combining alternatives 1 and 2 still won't relieve the congestion on the roadway. Costs associated with this alternative are estimated at $120,000. See Figure 2 for a graphical representation of this alternative. Alternative 3 — Free Right Turn Lane A free right turn lane would allow southbound vehicles to continue flowing to the west without the need to stop. This would require the addition of a receiving lane on westbound Andover Boulevard. We analyzed two options for the addition of a second westbound through lane on Andover Boulevard as presented below. A. Restripe Andover Boulevard Andover Boulevard is 56 feet wide at the intersection with Crosstown Boulevard. This accommodates a receiving lane for westbound traffic and a through lane, right turn lane and left turn lane for eastbound traffic. The roadway could be re- striped to allow for two westbound lanes and a combined thru -right lane and left turn lane for eastbound traffic. This would accommodate the additional westbound lane required for the free - right condition. The northerly curb line of Andover Boulevard will need to be reconstructed. This will also require mitigation for signal system and school sign impacts in the north boulevard. Costs associated with this alternative are estimated at $300,000. See Figure 3A for a graphical representation of this alternative. 11 49 B. Widen Andover Boulevard 50 To allow for the Crosstown Boulevard free right turn lane to be constructed, Andover Boulevard could also be widened to the north. This allows for the same eastbound lane configuration at the intersection as today. The curb radius in the northwest quadrant of Andover Boulevard and Crosstown Boulevard will need to be reconstructed. The northerly curb line of Andover Boulevard will need to be reconstructed 12 feet to the north. This will also require signal system revisions, relocation of the school sign, storm sewer revisions, fire hydrant relocations, trail reconstruction, tree removals and grading in the north boulevard. The widening could occur to the point where the full right turn lane has been developed for the High School entrance. A lane drop could occur into that right turn lane. Costs associated with this alternative are estimated at $530,000. See Figure 3B for a graphical representation of this alternative. We performed a traffic analysis for the intersection based on both options presented above. The results of our analysis are presented in the following table. Because all legs of the intersection will be impacted as a result of either modification, the table is expanded to show the resulting impacts. Results are shown for the AM peak hour only, as that is the most critical time period for the intersection. While the Level of Service for the individual movements and overall intersection are not increased, the delays and queuing lengths are significantly reduced for southbound traffic. The southbound queue is reduced to approximately 650 feet, meaning that queuing will very rarely, if ever, exceed the length of the extended right turn bay. The results indicate that there is little benefit for constructing the additional lane compared to restriping Andover Boulevard, at least under existing volume conditions. Minimal changes in delay occur due to the slightly different signal timing required for three eastbound lanes versus two in the restriping option. The primary difference between the two free -right options is how well they can handle a rush of traffic leaving the high school, similar to after a large sporting or other school event. A simulation was done comparing the options assuming both parking lots are full and are released within a 15- minute period. The results show that adding a full auxiliary lane allows vehicles to 12 Existing Re- Striping New Aux.

A simulation was done comparing the options assuming both parking lots are full and are released within a 15- minute period. The results show that adding a full auxiliary lane allows vehicles to 12 51 clear one minute faster on average due to the extra eastbound capacity. Queuing in the restriping option can reach back into the south parking lot while most of the queuing is contained within 450 feet of the Andover Boulevard & Crosstown Boulevard intersection with the full lane addition. The other difference between the two options is lasting power. If Crosstown Boulevard needs to be expanded in the future, lanes would be added to the east side of the current alignment based on existing right of way. This would allow the expanded right turn lane to remain in place even with a reconstructed Crosstown Boulevard. The auxiliary lane on Andover Boulevard could also remain with an Andover Boulevard expansion while the restriping option would be effectively overridden. The free right full auxiliary lane is estimated to be effective at reducing the queue for 10 to 12 years while the free right with restriping is estimated to be effective for 7 to 9 years. This estimate is based on straight line growth from 2012 to 2030 projected volumes. To ensure the eastbound thru -right lane striping would operate smoothly in the afternoon peak when school lets out, both options were simulated with afternoon volumes as well. All approaches operate at LOS C in the afternoon peak with minimal queuing if any along the intersection legs. Alternative 4 — Modifications to North Access Drive Discussions with ISD 11 staff indicate they are willing to consider improvements on the High School ground to help relieve congestion on Crosstown Boulevard. The first option involves utilizing the northerly access off of Crosstown Boulevard as an access for students and parents who drop off their students. The access is currently utilized as a Staff and bus entrance only. No left turns are permitted into the access. There is an existing 300 ft. long right -turn lane along Crosstown Boulevard into this entrance. To complete the improvements, an existing access drive to the loading docks located on the north side of the school would need to be extended to the parking area located on the west side of the school. The parking lot would need to be reconfigured and expanded to mitigate lost parking stalls. Impacts to the irrigation system, lighting system, trail system and landscaping would also require mitigation. Signage would be installed along the route to aid with on -site circulation. The following table represents our findings related to the Andover Boulevard and Crosstown Boulevard intersection as a result of diverting a portion of the traffic away from the intersection at the north High School access drive. 13 Portion of Existing Traffic Diverted at Conditions North School Entrance Intersection Lee LOS Queue (ft) LOS Queue (ft) Eastbound D 196 D 297 Westbound D 482 E 637 Northbound F 736 F 664 Southbound F 2990 F 1274 Total F F The analysis results show a greatly improved intersection delay compared to existing conditions. Due to no other changes being made at the intersection other than reducing the demand for the southbound right turn, the queue has been reduced but is long enough to block the south driveway access point. However, the existing high school parking lot circulation and driveway network is incapable of handling the additional vehicles using this driveway. The nature of school traffic is such that most trips occur within a very short time period, causing the majority of the 250 drop -offs to occur within a 15 -30 minute time period prior to the start of school. As the north driveway is only an entering access point, vehicles using this access need to circulate through the school property and use the main access point on Andover Boulevard for egress. The stop controlled right turn causes the new stream of traffic to back up through the northwest parking lot, along the north driveway, and back onto Crosstown Boulevard. During the heaviest volume period of the AM peak hour, these vehicles can back -up 923 feet north of 1491h Avenue - past Nightingale Street. Costs associated with this alternative are estimated at $220,000. Costs associated with this alternative could be mitigated with cooperation of ISD 11 staff performing a portion of the improvements such as tree relocations, irrigation system relocations, etc. See Figure 4 for a graphical representation of this alternative. Alternative 5 — Left Turn Lane at North Access Drive Alternative 5 builds off of Alternative 4 by adding a northbound left turn lane at the north school entrance. This left turn lane could also serve as a standalone project to mitigate issues with northbound, left- turning busses causing backups along Crosstown Boulevard. If the left turn lane was constructed, left turns could be permitted into the north access. Our review indicates that construction of a left turn lane would relieve congestion for northbound Crosstown Boulevard traffic. Only limited student or parent traffic is expected to make this turn given the other opportunities that would become available if other alternatives are implemented. Also, if the Alternative 3 improvements are implemented, the left turn lane may not be needed as gaps in traffic may be sufficient to clear the left- turning vehicles. Costs associated with this alternative are estimated at $120,000. 14 52 See Figure 5 for a graphical representation of this alternative. Alternative 6 — Raven Street Extension Another alternative reviewed involves the extension of Raven Street into the school property. Vehicles traveling southbound on Crosstown Boulevard would turn right onto 149th Avenue, travel westbound on 149th Avenue to Raven Street, turn left onto Raven Street and into the school property. Two alternatives exist within the school property. A. Raven Street Drop -off Circle The intent of this concept is similar to Alternative 4 in using the north driveway connection so that vehicles are being removed, or at least delayed, from accessing the intersection of Andover Boulevard & Crosstown Boulevard. 53 Raven Street would be extended south towards the northwest parking lot and would terminate at a circle /cul -de -sac in- between the tennis courts and the baseball diamond. Parents dropping off students would turn right onto 149th Avenue from Crosstown Boulevard using a new 250 -foot right turn lane. They would then turn left on Raven Street at the all -way stop controlled intersection of Raven Street & 149th Avenue. After dropping -off in the circle, parents would depart from the school and neighborhood using the same route. Pedestrians currently access a trail connecting to the dead -end on Raven Street to walk and bike to the high school. A trail would be built to the east of the new road extension to provide a safe area for pedestrians. Some, if not most, of the parents dropping off their students in the new circle will return to Crosstown Boulevard and travel south towards the Andover Boulevard & Crosstown Boulevard intersection. This movement directly offsets the benefit of removing these vehicles from Crosstown Boulevard. The existing neighborhood streets, especially 149th Avenue, do not have sidewalks or trails. This alternative would force additional vehicular traffic onto streets without safe pedestrian accommodations where a significant amount of students already walk. A circular student drop -off area would be constructed north of the parking area on the west side of the school. Impacts to the irrigation system, lighting system, trail system, drainage Swale and landscaping would require mitigation. Costs associated with this alternative are estimated at $410,000. See Figure 6A for a graphical representation of this alternative. B. Raven Street Connection to West Parking Lot Similar to the Raven Street Drop -off Circle alternative, this concept would build a right turn bay on Crosstown Boulevard for people to turn right onto 149th Avenue. The main difference is that the Raven Street extension would connect into the northwest parking lot instead of stopping in a circle. Vehicles in this option would be able to drop -off 15 54 students along the west side of the school and access the parking lots. The benefit to this alternative compared to the drop -off circle alternative is that vehicles have the option of leaving the high school property either by using 149`h Avenue or by circulating through the parking lots to use Andover Boulevard. The existing neighborhood streets, especially 149th Avenue, do not have sidewalks or trails. This alternative would force additional vehicular traffic onto streets without safe pedestrian accommodations where a significant amount of students already walk. Similar to Alternative 4, this alternative will greatly stress the internal traffic within the school property. Impacts to the irrigation system, lighting system, trail system, drainage swale and landscaping would require mitigation. Costs associated with this alternative are estimated at $400,000. See Figure 6B for a graphical representation of this alternative. We performed a traffic analysis for the Andover Boulevard and Crosstown Boulevard intersection based on both options presented above. The results of our analysis are presented in the following table. Results are shown for the AM peak hour only, as that is the most critical time period for the intersection. While the queue lengths remain long under either scenario, benefit is noted by the reduced delay for the individual movements at the intersection. Crosstown Boulevard and Nightingale Street Intersection Intersection Traffic Control The intersection of Crosstown Boulevard and Nightingale Street currently operates at an acceptable level of service during both the AM and PM peak hours. The intersection control consists of a stop condition for Nightingale Street traffic, while each leg of Crosstown Boulevard is free - flowing. The intersection meets warrants for a traffic signal at this time. Observations indicate that, under existing conditions, the intersection is functioning adequately but is influenced by the backups seen on Crosstown Boulevard. While the intersection meets warrants, a change in traffic control is not necessary at this time to improve the functionality. 16 Existing Raven Street Raven Street Conditions Drop -Off Circle Extension to West lot Intersection Lee LOS Queue (ft) LOS Queue (ft) LOS Queue (ft) Eastbound D 196 D 183 C 327 Westbound D 482 E 675 C 784 Northbound F 736 F 869 C 835 Southbound F 2990 F 2307 F 1924 Tota I F F F While the queue lengths remain long under either scenario, benefit is noted by the reduced delay for the individual movements at the intersection. Crosstown Boulevard and Nightingale Street Intersection Intersection Traffic Control The intersection of Crosstown Boulevard and Nightingale Street currently operates at an acceptable level of service during both the AM and PM peak hours.

The intersection meets warrants for a traffic signal at this time. Observations indicate that, under existing conditions, the intersection is functioning adequately but is influenced by the backups seen on Crosstown Boulevard. While the intersection meets warrants, a change in traffic control is not necessary at this time to improve the functionality. 16 55 150th Lane The intersection of 150th Lane and Nightingale Street is located approximately 300 feet north of Crosstown Boulevard. This close spacing creates issues for the intersection geometrics related to turn lanes along the roadway. Nightingale Street and Crosstown Boulevard is a tee intersection. Southbound Nightingale traffic has a left turn lane and a right turn lane only, as no through lane is needed. There is one northbound lane along Nightingale Street. Northbound Nightingale Street traffic waiting for a gap to turn left onto 150th Lane can block traffic back into the Crosstown Boulevard intersection. To alleviate this issue, a by -pass lane could be constructed for northbound traffic. This will allow the through traffic to continue northbound and avoid backups into Crosstown Boulevard. Costs associated with this alternative are estimated at $60,000. See Figure 7 for a graphical representation of this alternative. Pedestrian Crossing at 149th Lane There is an existing pedestrian crossing located on the north side of the Crosstown Boulevard and 149th Avenue intersection. Concerns have been raised related to the safety of the crossing. Our understanding is that parents of the students would like to see the crossing remain, but be made more safe for the pedestrians. Many alternative exist related to pedestrian crossings. Striping, signage, flashing beacons, grade separated crossings and other methods can be used to make pedestrian crossings more safe for the users. The current edition of the Highway Capacity Manual provides guidance related to level of service and recommended crossing measures to best serve different crossing locations. Our recommendation is to perform a study after near term mitigation measures have been implemented and traffic adjusted to the new mitigations. Bluebird Street and Andover Boulevard (145th Avenue) Intersection The crash history for the intersection was analyzed based on data obtained from Minnesota's Crash Mapping Analysis Tool (MnCMAT) for a three year period from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2012. Two reported crashes occurred in this three year time period. In both crashes, at least one of the drivers suffered an incapacitating injury due to "high speed left turn into traffic" crash types. Upon initial review of the intersection geometry, sight lines for drivers on Andover Boulevard appear to be clear. A potential cause for the crashes relates to eastbound traffic misjudging the westbound approaching vehicle's speed. This could be caused by drivers leaving a low speed area to the west while the approaching vehicles are coming out of a high speed area to the east. A supplementary study to analyze this intersection in more detail is recommended if the crash problem persists. 17 SUMMARY OF NEAR TERM ALTERNATIVES 56 Several alternatives were reviewed related to providing near term solutions to congestion and safety within the study area. The table on the following page provides a brief description of the improvement, estimated costs and relative benefit to the area. Relative benefit is based on existing traffic volumes and driving patterns in the area. 18 Andover Area Traffic Analysis Near -Term Solution Summary ESTIMATED NEAR -TERM IMPROVEMENT LOCATION COSTS BENEFIT Crosstown Boulevard Alt 1— SB RTL at Andover Boulevard (Figure 1) $110,000 Low • Small reduction in queue for SB Crosstown Boulevard Alt 2 - Signal System Revisions (Figure 2) $120,000 Low • Small reduction in queue for SB Crosstown Boulevard Alt 3A — Free RTL w/ Striping (Figure 3A) $300,000 High • SB queues reduced for Crosstown Boulevard • LOS remains F during AM Peak Hour • Eastbound RTL is eliminated — Sporting Event Queues Alt 3B — Free RTL w/ full Aux.

Berkowitz Director of Public Works /City Engineer Andover City Hall 1685 Crosstown Blvd NW Andover, MN 55304 Mr. Berkowitz, Thank you for allowing the Anoka- Hennepin School District to be a part of the Andover Area Traffic Study. The traffic flow in the City of Andover is very important to Anoka- Hennepin Schools as it can make an impact on how students, parents, and school staff access school sites in the Andover area. This letter is written in response to the study report. After review of the near -term solutions, the Anoka - Hennepin School District is supportive of Alt 1 through Alt 3B. However, it is unclear to Anoka- Hennepin staff if right -of -way and district structure impacts were a part of the estimated costs. All of these near -term solutions seem to improve traffic flow on Crosstown Boulevard, while causing the least disruption to the traffic flow on the Andover High School site. Conversely, the remaining solutions appear to dramatically change the traffic flow on the school site and may not provide much improvement to traffic flow. Thank you for the opportunity to provide input about the process.

Kevin Kielb, P.E. From: Bryan Nemeth, P.E., P.T.O.E. Ross Tillman, E.I.T. Subject: Traffic Analysis for Andover Area Traffic Study INTRODUCTION 1 NCa High levels of congestion in the AM and PM peak hours in the area surrounding Andover High School, Elementary school and several neighborhoods have resulted in the City of Andover requesting a traffic study. The study is focused on the roads and intersections along the loop formed by Crosstown Boulevard, Hanson Boulevard and Andover Boulevard. Input from the City, Anoka County and ISD 11 focused the study on the following list of known issues: High traffic in AM and PM peak hours causing congestion which is intensified by morning school traffic driving towards Andover High School and Elementary School. Neighborhoods located to the north of Crosstown Boulevard are limited in their access to the TH 10 corridor. Residents in these areas most commonly use Nightingale Street as a means to access Crosstown Boulevard and eventually TH 10. Extreme queuing occurs in the AM peak on southbound Crosstown Boulevard approaching Andover Boulevard due to the school traffic along with typical commuter traffic. • Heavy traffic on southbound Crosstown Boulevard causes additional queuing along southbound Nightingale since few acceptable gaps are available for right turning vehicles. • Demand on Crosstown Boulevard is nearing roadway capacity as a 2 -lane road. • The intersection of Nightingale Street and Crosstown Boulevard currently meets warrants for a traffic signal. • Busses turning left into the north High School driveway can cause northbound traffic queues while waiting for an acceptable gap to make the left turn. H:\ ANDV\ N15106158 \3_Preliminary_DesignW�reliminary design \Traffic Tech hlemo.doc DESIGNING FOR A BETTER TOMORROW Bolton & Menk is an equal opportunity employer 77 78 • The pedestrian crossing along Crosstown Boulevard at 149`" Avenue is contentious between the County and local residents. The County would like the crossing removed while residents want to keep it but make changes to increase safety. • 150`h Lane off of Nightingale Street is close to Crosstown as far as spacing is concerned. Vehicles making a northbound left turn onto 150`h Lane from Nightingale can easily cause queuing back into the intersection with Crosstown Boulevard. • The narrow bridge on Crosstown Boulevard just south of Andover Boulevard will restrict widening to a certain extent. • Along the east -west portion of Crosstown Boulevard, there are numerous accesses which are not aligned. • Need for additional capacity along Hanson Boulevard. • There are accident concerns at Bluebird Street on Andover Boulevard (145`h Avenue). The issues listed in bold are to be addressed in the short-term, issues in italics are other areas of concern to be addressed when necessary and the remaining issues are meant to be resolved by long term improvements. These issues are addressed in this technical memorandum by analyzing various design alternatives. TRAFFIC ANALYSIS Traffic Data Collection Anoka County provided turning movements counts that were performed in 2012 on different dates for each of the four main intersections in the study. Andover Boulevard at Hanson Boulevard and Crosstown Boulevard at Andover Boulevard were counted on 1/10/12, Crosstown Boulevard at Nightingale Boulevard was counted on 11/1/12, and Crosstown Boulevard at Hanson Boulevard was counted on 11/5/12. All counts collected AM peak data. Afternoon peak data was collected for Crosstown Boulevard at Andover Boulevard and PM Peak data was collected at Crosstown Boulevard at Hanson Boulevard and Andover Boulevard at Hanson Boulevard. Additionally, ISD 11 provided the following information regarding student transportation for the high school: • 1794 total students • 197 students within walking distance • 682 students take the bus to school • Total of 26 busses access the school for drop -off and pick -up With this information, the number of students arriving via passenger vehicle was computed to be 1014. Taking into account the total number of parking spots in the south and west lots of 513, it is estimated that 501 students are dropped off or are part of car pools.

Level of Service Description W Operations analysis of the AM, afternoon, and PM peak hours was conducted at the study intersections to determine how traffic is expected to operate throughout the study area under mitigation alternatives. A level of service (LOS) analysis was completed for turning movements at these intersections to determine how well they operate with study area traffic volumes. The LOS results are based on average delay per vehicle as calculated by the 2010 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM). Control delay is the delay experienced by vehicles slowing down as they are approaching the intersection, the wait time at the intersection, and the time for the vehicle to speed up through the intersection and enter into the traffic stream. The average intersection control delay is a volume weighted average of delay experienced by all motorists entering the intersection on all intersection approaches. Intersections and each intersection approach are given a ranking from LOS A through LOS F. LOS A indicates the best traffic operation, with vehicles experiencing minimal delays. LOS A through D is generally perceived to be acceptable to drivers. LOS E indicates that an intersection is operating at, or very near, its capacity and that drivers experience considerable delays. LOS F indicates an intersection where demand exceeds capacity and drivers experience substantial delays. The LOS and its associated intersection delay for signalized and unsignalized intersections are presented Table 1. The delay threshold for unsignalized intersections is lower for each LOS compared to signalized intersections, which accounts for the fact that people expect a higher level of service when at a stop - controlled intersection. Unacceptable (i.e. LOS E and F) is indicative of elevated delay times compared to acceptable levels of service (i.e. LOS A, B, C and D).

ApN 4 F Wl Existins Conditions 2012 traffic volumes were used to analyze existing conditions in the study area using Synchro and SimTraffic. Table 2 shows the results for LOS, delay and queuing. One of the main issues driving this study is the queuing along southbound Crosstown Boulevard adjacent to the high school during the AM peak. The queuing seems to directly correspond with the start of school as morning commuters and students driving to school or being dropped off vie for space along Crosstown Boulevard in particular. Bolton & Menk sent personnel to the study area on 1/29/13 to view traffic and take photographs of the morning queuing. The following images (Figures 1 and 2) show the queuing on southbound Crosstown Boulevard, which backs up to and slightly past Nightingale Street. The analysis shows this queue to extend almost 3000 feet north from Andover Boulevard. Due to this long queue, it is possible that the queue can extend north of Nightingale Street on days with higher than average traffic. Our site visit proves this to be true as the queue on the 29th of January extended north past Nightingale Street. This queue causes several issues for commuters and students traveling south on Crosstown Boulevard as well as for the vehicles attempting to turn onto Crosstown Boulevard from Nightingale Street. Long queues can also make it difficult for busses to make the left turn into the north high school driveway for student drop -off, causing queuing issues for northbound traffic. Table 2: Existing Conditions The analysis also shows long queues for southbound traffic along Hanson Boulevard, backing up all of the way from the intersection of Hanson Boulevard & Andover Boulevard to Hanson Boulevard & Crosstown Boulevard. Figure 3 shows this queue as it backs up into the intersection with Crosstown Boulevard. The high traffic volumes traveling south along Hanson Boulevard also cause queues upwards of 1000 feet in length for southbound thru traffic at the intersection of Crosstown Boulevard & Hanson Boulevard.

Southbound Right Turn Lane Extend southbound right turn bay at Crosstown Boulevard & Andover Boulevard by scabbing on pavement. The extended turn bay would be roughly 1080 feet in length, which is the longest possible due to constraints caused by the south driveway exit from the high school. The extended turn bay would help prevent thru traffic from blocking right turning traffic or visa versa, which is a main contributor to the existing queuing issue at this location. See Table 4 for the traffic analysis results for this alternative. Table 4: Extended Southbound Right Turn Lane ANI Peak Analysis Results (See Figure 15) Figure 4: Southbound Right Turn Lane Extension Extending this right turn lane lowers the southbound approach delay by roughly 90 seconds per vehicle and reduces the length of the southbound queue by 265 feet.

This phase would provide southbound right turns with a green arrow at the same time that eastbound left turning traffic has a green arrow. Since the two movements are not conflicting, this phasing strategy safely provides more green time to the southbound right turns. The right 1080 foot right turn lane extension was also modeled as part of this alternative. Table 5: Southbound Right Turn Overlap ANT Peak Analysis Results (See Figure 16) Southbound delay is reduced by approximately 39 seconds per vehicle with right turn overlap phasing. However, delay is also reduced for both eastbound and northbound traffic as well due to optimized signal timings. Since the overlap phase provides additional green time to the southbound right turn, less time is required for the southbound thru movement under an optimized scenario. Removing time from the southbound thru movement benefits other movements and increases overall intersection LOS. Even though delay decreases, queuing is only reduced by 125 feet.

Page 10 Free Right Turn and Restriping along Andover Boulevard — Converting the southbound right turn into a free right separates this movement from the intersection physically and from the signal timing cycle. Vehicles making this turn rarely will come to a complete stop, and it also provides additional green time to other movements at the intersection, thus increasing overall LOS. The right turn bay is also extended in this alternative to 1080 feet, matching the Southbound Right Turn Lane Extension alternative. This alternative would require restriping Andover Boulevard and a change in lanes for the eastbound approach to a left turn lane and shared thnl/right lane. With this change, some signal heads and detector loops would have to be relocated. Table 6: Free Right and Andover Boulevard Restriping ADI Peak Analysis Results (See Figure 17) Figure ti: Free Right and Restriping along Ando%er Boulevard The free right turn lane significantly reduces delay and queuing at this intersection. Overall intersection delay is reduced by 245 seconds due to the re- optimization of the signal timings with the southbound right turns removed. The southbound queue is reduced to 649 feet, meaning that queuing will very rarely, if ever, exceed the length of the extended right turn bay. To ensure the eastbound thru -right lane striping would operate smoothly in the afternoon peak when school lets out, the restriping option was simulated with afternoon volumes as well. All approaches operate at LOS C in the afternoon peak with minimal queuing if any along the intersection legs.

Overall intersection delay is reduced by 245 seconds due to the re- optimization of the signal timings with the southbound right turns removed. The southbound queue is reduced to 649 feet, meaning that queuing will very rarely, if ever, exceed the length of the extended right turn bay. To ensure the eastbound thru -right lane striping would operate smoothly in the afternoon peak when school lets out, the restriping option was simulated with afternoon volumes as well. All approaches operate at LOS C in the afternoon peak with minimal queuing if any along the intersection legs.

Free Right and Full Auxiliary Lane along Andover Boulevard — Restriping Andover Boulevard to create room for the free right turn add lane is proven to work, but compromises capacity for the eastbound right turns by removing the dedicated right turn bay. An alternative to this would be to construct a paved add lane for the free right turn. The new lane would tie in with the existing right turn bay near the high school driveway off Andover Boulevard and would allow all three eastbound lanes at the signal to remain. Table 7: Free Right and Full Auxiliary Lane ADI Peak Analysis Results (See Figure 13) The traffic simulation results show little benefit for constructing the additional lane compared to restriping, at least under existing volume conditions. Minimal changes in delay occur due to the slightly different signal timing required for three eastbound lanes versus two in the restriping option. This alternative was analyzed with afternoon volumes as well to validate if it would perform sufficiently when school traffic leaves the property. Similar to the restriping option, all approaches operate at LOS C with minimal queuing along the intersection legs. Free Right Option Differences Perhaps the main difference between the two free -right options is how well they can handle a rush of traffic leaving the high school, similar to after a large sporting or other school event. A simulation was done comparing the options assuming both parking lots are full and are released within a 15- minute period. The results show that adding a full auxiliary lane allows vehicles to clear one minute faster on average due to the extra eastbound capacity. Queuing in the restriping option can reach back into the south parking lot while most of the queuing is contained within HAANDV\N 15106158\3_Preliminary_DesignW _preliminary design \Traffic Tech Memo.doc DESIGNING FOR A BETTER TOMORROW Bolton & Menk is an equal opportunity employer.

Page 12 450 feet of the Andover Boulevard & Crosstown Boulevard intersection with the full lane addition. The other difference between the two options is lasting power. If Crosstown Boulevard needs to be expanded in the future, lanes would be added to the east side of the current alignment based on existing right of way. This would allow the expanded right turn lane to remain in place even with a reconstructed Crosstown Boulevard. The auxiliary lane on Andover Boulevard could also remain with an Andover Boulevard expansion while the restriping option would be effectively overridden. The free right full auxiliary lane is estimated to be effective at reducing the queue for 10 to 12 years while the free right with restriping is estimated to be effective for 7 to 9 years. This estimate is based on straight line growth from 2012 to 2030 projected volumes. North Driveway Connection — As opposed to minimizing queuing by making changes at the intersection of Andover Boulevard & Crosstown Boulevard, queuing could be reduced by reducing the volume of vehicles that need to use the intersection in general. By making geometric changes on the high school grounds and allowing passenger car access by right turn in only at the north driveway, approximately 250 vehicles are anticipated to be removed from the right turn queue at Andover Boulevard & Crosstown Boulevard in the AM peak. This improvement would allow ,M:ur[v w u.ass.r a,c .emr:e ,Wort. rnr\ vehicles coming from the north to i turn into the high school property - - from Crosstown Boulevard.

I SC4E - 90 01 \ ' Page 14 Raven Street Drop -off Circle — An alternative to allowing access to the school using the north driveway would be to allow vehicles access to a drop -off area on school property using Raven Street. The intent of this concept is similar to using the north driveway connection in that vehicles are being removed, or at least delayed from accessing, the intersection of Andover Boulevard & Crosstown Boulevard. Raven Street would be extended south towards the northwest parking lot but would terminate at a circle /cul -de -sac in- between the tennis courts and the baseball diamond. Parents dropping off students would turn right onto 149th Avenue from Crosstown Boulevard using a new 250 -foot right turn lane. They would then turn left on Raven Street at the all -way stop controlled intersection of Raven Street & 149th Avenue. After dropping -off in the circle, parents would depart from the school and neighborhood using the same route. Pedestrians currently access a trail connecting to the dead -end on Raven Street to walk and bike to the high school. A trail would be built to the east of the new road extension to provide a safe area for pedestrians. There are a couple of downsides to this design: • Some if not most of the parents dropping off their students in the new circle will return to Crosstown Boulevard and head south towards the Andover Boulevard & Crosstown Boulevard intersection. This movement directly offsets the benefit of removing these vehicles from Crosstown Boulevard in the first place. • The existing neighborhood streets, especially 149th Avenue, do not have sidewalks or trails. This alternative would force additional vehicular traffic onto streets without safe pedestrian accommodations where a significant amount of students already walk. • Additional traffic on residential streets is generally negatively viewed by the neighborhood that is directly affected.

Raven Street Connection — Similar to the Raven Street Drop -off Circle alternative, this concept would build a right turn bay on Crosstown Boulevard for people to turn right onto 1491h Avenue.

O(D Page 92 that their students can exit curbside. Parents exiting the school using Raven Street and 149`h Avenue would then drive north along the new Raven Street Extension. However, parents leaving the school thru the existing driveway at Andover Boulevard need to circle back thru the northwest parking lot in order to drive south. This extra circulation is anticipated to cause back- ups and additional conflict points within the parking lot. Summary of Short -Term Improvements Table 11 summarizes the short-term improvements and states whether or not each improvement meets the three measures of effectiveness (MOEs) that are as follows: • Queue Reduced to Acceptable Length — Southbound queue on Crosstown Boulevard during the AM peak reduced to less than 1280 feet. Capping acceptable queues at this length ensure vehicles can exit the high school from the south driveway without being blocked by the queue. Crosstown Boulevard & Andover Boulevard Intersection Delay Noticeably Reduced — It is important that the selected alternative also reduce overall intersection delay. Ideally, this reduction is noticeable to drivers. With the high delays present in the AM peak under existing conditions, intersection delay should be reduced by more than 30 seconds. Total intersection delay needs to be less than 356 seconds. No Additional Traffic Problems Created on High School Site — Though the main focus of the short-term improvements is to reduce queuing on Crosstown Boulevard, the actual high school site cannot be forgotten. Pushing additional traffic onto the site at multiple locations can create localized issues that may end up being worse than the existing queuing issue on Crosstown Boulevard. The selected alternative should not create additional traffic issues on the high school property.

However, because of the location of the junction along a relatively tight curve on Crosstown Boulevard, sight lines become an issue. The curve placement makes it difficult for drivers to see the signal heads early enough for sufficient stopping sight distance if braking is necessary, for example if the signal was red. At 45 mph, the minimum sight distance required is 460 feet as stated in the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. This distance includes the minimum stopping sight distance of 360 feet plus an assumed queue length of 100 feet and is the minimum distance required for drivers to see both Fi -ii re 11: Traffic Si -nal Sialit Trian -les signal heads for their approach. & ° With longer queues, this minimum sight distance would only increase. In order to properly see the signal indication, the ITE Traffic Engineering Handbook suggests that drivers be able to see the signal head within a 40 degree vision cone centered on their direction of travel. At this particular location, the road curvature is too severe for northbound traffic and requires the driver to look roughly 25 degrees off of the direction of travel. For this reason, no further analysis of a traffic signal was completed, as the recommended vision cone is not met. Single lane roundabout analysis — Given that the intersection meets warrants for a traffic signal, a roundabout is a valid alternative for future traffic control. Unlike the traffic signal option, roundabouts can safely regulate traffic on roadway bends due to reduced speeds. Roundabouts are meant to be traversed anywhere between 15 and 25 mph, which means approach designs require drivers to slow down to this speed prior to entering the circle. Lower speeds entering the roundabout and lack of queues reduce the minimum site distance required for vehicles approaching the intersection. Additionally, a roundabout results in low delay during non -peak hours which is more acceptable for traffic. Although initially constructed as a single lane roundabout, the roundabout should be designed in such a way to be expandable to a multi -lane configuration in the future.

M1 VP The pedestrian crossing along Crosstown Boulevard at 149,h Avenue is contentious between the County and local residents. The County would like the crossing removed while residents want to keep it but make changes to increase safety — When Bolton & Menk personnel were on site, several pedestrians were witnessed using this crossing with assistance from the crossing guard. There are many different options for additional treatment of this crossing such as overhead signing, a Hybrid Activated crosswalk Beacon, and Rectangular Rapid Flash Beacons among various other options. A supplementary, more focused, study would need to be done in order to determine the best treatment option for this location. 150'h Lane off of Nightingale Street is close to Crosstown Boulevard as far as spacing is concerned Vehicles making a left turn onto 150`s Lane from Nightingale can easily cause queuing back into the intersection with Crosstown Boulevard — Nightingale Street is classified as a Major Collector roadway by Anoka County. The County's access spacing guidelines indicate that collector roadways with speeds of 40 -45mph should provide a minimum of 1/8 mile spacing between intersections. Since 150fl' Lane is only about 275 feet from Crosstown Boulevard, vehicles waiting to make a left turn from Nightingale Street to 150`s Lane can cause queues to form which can extend to Crosstown Boulevard. To avoid such queuing and improve LOS at these tightly spaced intersections, a left turn by -pass lane was designed. The lane would allow thru traffic to safely avoid 2 -3 stopped left turning vehicles. There may be impacts to the private driveways on the east side of Nightingale Street as they would directly enter into the by- pass lane. This design alternative can be constructed as a standalone feature or could be built to match in with the potential intersection control revision. There are accident concerns at Bluebird Street on Andover Boulevard (145`" Avenue) — A crash history was pulled using Minnesota's Crash Mapping Analysis Tool (MnCMAT) from 1 /1 /10 to 12/31/12. Two reported crashes occurred in this three year l i,ure tl: Ni,,Ittingale Street Left7'tirn By -p.t. time period.

Upon initial investigation into the intersection geometry, sight lines for drivers on Andover Boulevard appear to be clear. It is possible that drivers heading eastbound are misjudging the westbound approaching vehicle's speed since they are coming out of a low speed area to the west and the approaching vehicles are coming out of a high speed area to the east. A supplementary study looking at this intersection in more detail is recommended. Long -Term Improvements to Mitigate 2030 Queuing and Traffic Congestion in the Study Area Demand on Crosstown Boulevard is nearing roadway capacity as a 2 -1ane road — M&DOT and Anoka County typically set the functional capacity limit of a 2 -lane roadway to 10,000 vehicles per day. Currently, daily traffic on Crosstown Boulevard is hovering around the 10,000 vehicle mark and will soon justify the need for additional capacity. As a long -term alternative, Crosstown Boulevard should be converted to a 4 -lane divided roadway (see Figure 24). With this expansion, the controlled intersections along the corridor will also need to be modified to allow for a second thru lane in each direction along Crosstown Boulevard. Specifically, if a single lane roundabout is constructed at Nightingale Street and Crosstown Boulevard it would need to be expanded to allow two circulating lanes. Assuming the roundabout is originally designed to be expandable within its own footprint, no additional right of way is anticipated to be needed. Table 13 shows results from the analysis of a multi lane roundabout with 2030 AM peak volumes. Table 13: Multi Lane Roundabout 2030 AM Analvsis Crosstown &Nighti ngal e LOS Delay (sec) Queue (ft) A 5 50 A 5 50 A 5 50 A 5 - The specific geometry modeled includes two circulating lanes with dual lane entries and exits along Crosstown Boulevard. Nightingale Street would have a free right turn as well as one entry lane and 2 exit lanes into and from the roundabout. The free right turn lane would allow for a safer right turn for the large volume of vehicles making the right turn from Nightingale Street to Crosstown Boulevard. With this geometry, the roundabout is able to serve traffic with minimal delays and queuing. The narrow bridge on Crosstown Boulevard just south of Andover Boulevard will restrict widening to a certain extent— As Crosstown Boulevard is transitioned into a 4 -lane roadway, the intersection of Andover Boulevard & Crosstown Boulevard will need to be widened as well (similar to Nightingale Street & Crosstown Boulevard) in order to accommodate the additional thru lanes. There is an existing bridge just south of Andover Boulevard along Crosstown Boulevard that has four lanes crossing with the existing geometry. Currently, there is very little room for roadway widening on the existing bridge deck.

L1J ONa�Z M3 In order to avoid building a new bridge, a roundabout could be installed at this intersection. The roundabout would only require three lanes to cross the bridge along with a median/splitter island, so the existing bridge could be used as long as it is still in good condition. In general the roundabout geometry would include two entering and exiting lanes on all of the approaches.

Vehicles are now making this right turn to access the high school as well as the proposed connection on Andover Boulevard to Round Lake Boulevard. To mitigate this issue, a free right turn was added for the southbound approach to allow this movement to occur without yielding to circulating traffic within the roundabout. Table 15 displays the analysis results with the free right turn added.

It is quite possible that this cost will dictate what type of intersection treatment is designed. Along the east -west portion of Crosstown Boulevard, there are many accesses which are not aligned — The City of Andover Transportation Plan calls out several changes to be made on the E -W section of Crosstown Boulevard in regards to access management. Some of the changes were built with the new development to the north of Crosstown Boulevard in recent years. Other changes should be considered longer term and would be completed when/ if they are necessary and feasible from a funding perspective. Need for additional capacity along Hanson Boulevard - Demand on Hanson Boulevard has exceeded the typically accepted 2 -lane highway capacity of 10,000 vehicles per day. The heavy southbound AM commuter traffic along Hanson Boulevard causes major queues at both signalized intersections (see Table 2 for existing conditions). When analyzed under 2030 H:WNDVW 15106158\3— Preliminary_Design\A _preliminary designUraffic Tech Merno.doc DESIGNING FOR A BETTER TOMORROW Bolton & Menk 6 an equal opportunity employer. projected traffic volumes, delay increases drastically at both Andover Boulevard & Hanson Boulevard and Crosstown Boulevard & Hanson Boulevard. Queuing in the southbound direction actually decreases at Andover Boulevard; however, that is due to fewer vehicles traversing Crosstown Boulevard during each cycle and not due to increased throughput at Andover Boulevard. Increasing Hanson Boulevard to a full 4 -lane divided highway significantly increases capacity along the corridor (see Figure 25). Per the City of Andover Transportation Plan, additional turn lanes have been added at the signalized intersections. To improve safety, several of the unsignalized intersection accesses could be modified as follows: • Hanson Boulevard & 147`s Avenue has been changed to right in/right out only. • Left and right turn lanes have been added on Hanson Boulevard at 148"' Lane. • The south driveway access to the Elementary school has been closed due to access spacmg. Hanson Boulevard as a 4 -lane divided highway with additional turn lanes at the traffic signals was analyzed in Synchro and SimTraffic with projected volumes for 2030.

Page 24 100 Changes made to access locations were not part of the analysis as they do not have a direct impact on intersection performance and level of service. Altering accesses will most likely provide more of a safety benefit than an operational benefit along this corridor. Need for additional capacity along Crosstown Boulevard if Hanson Boulevard is expanded — The primary driver for the capacity expansion need on Crosstown Blvd is the proposed extension of Andover Blvd west of the high school and the lack of capacity on north -south routes to access TH 10. If Hanson Blvd is expanded to a four -lane facility and Crosstown Blvd is maintained as a two -lane facility, it is likely that additional traffic proposed to use Crosstown Blvd to access TH 10, would use Hanson Blvd instead. It is proposed that an expanded Hanson Blvd could handle as much additional traffic so that conditions are similar to what they are today. If the extension is not completed and Hanson Blvd is expanded to a four -lane divided facility, it appears that Crosstown Blvd would not need additional expansion south of Nightingale Street, but Nightingale Street to Hanson Blvd should be expanded to a four -lane divided facility. This would also necessitate traffic control improvements at Nightingale at Crosstown. If the extension is completed and Hanson Blvd is expanded to a four -lane divided facility, it appears that Crosstown Blvd would not need additional expansion south of Andover Blvd, but Andover Blvd to Hanson Blvd should be expanded to a four -lane divided facility. Need for additional capacity along Andover Boulevard — Demand along Andover Blvd between Crosstown and Hanson indicates a need for expansion to a three -lane or four -lane divided facility in the future. The need for the four -lane divided facility is entirely based on the need from potential traffic increases due to the proposed extension of Andover Blvd west of the high school. If the extension is not completed, volume projections indicate Andover Blvd will function acceptably as a three -lane facility. This includes a through lane in each direction and a continuous left turn lane to keep left turning traffic from blocking through vehicles and facilitate left turning traffic at all of the driveways and public street connections. Right turn lanes are also recommended at the public street connections to Andover Blvd. STUDY AREA SAFETY ANALYSIS A safety analysis was completed for the study area using MnCMAT. Data from MnCMAT indicates that 36 crashes occurred within the study area from 2010 -2012. While none of the crashes were fatal, four were associated with non - incapacitating injuries, 13 possible injuries and 19 property damage only crashes. Table 18 summarizes the reported crashes.

Using the FHWA Desktop Reference for Crash Reduction Factors, assumptions on how certain design alternatives affect safety can be made. Table 19 shows how the different design features/countermeasures used in the conceptual designs can affect the number and severity of crashes at a particular location.

More specifically for this study, the short-term design alternatives are geared towards reducing southbound back -ups along Crosstown Boulevard. As queue lengths are reduced or completely removed due to geometric changes, this also could alter the crash rate along this stretch of road. However, the exact amount of reduction is unknown and highly dependent on queue length. RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS Short -Term Short-term recommendations include designs to minimize traffic congestion in the high school area while increasing safety as well. Depending on long term improvements and changes to Andover Boulevard and Crosstown Boulevard, the short-term changes may not be meant to be permanent. That being said, it would be the intent to design the selected alternatives in such a way that maximizes usability even with long term geometric changes made. The Free Right Turn and Restriping along Andover Boulevard alternative or the Free Right and Full Auxiliary Lane along Andover Boulevard option would best reduce southbound queuing along Crosstown Boulevard in the AM peak. Both designs are the only two that satisfy all three measures of effectiveness as shown in Table 11, but the full auxiliary lane does allow for keeping the all three existing lanes eastbound at the intersection: left, thru, and right, whereas the striped lanes only allow for a two lanes eastbound: left and thru/right. Under either free -right option the construction of the free right turn lane will require signal improvements. The restriping option would also require moving signal loops and heads for the eastbound approach. Other Areas of Concern The left turn by -pass lane on Nightingale Street shows significant benefits. With the tight intersection spacing between 150th Avenue and Crosstown Boulevard, left turning vehicles could become trapped and cause queuing back onto Crosstown Boulevard. A left turn lane provides a relatively inexpensive way to safely allow thru traffic to maneuver around 2 -3 stopped left - turning vehicles. The left turn lane on northbound Crosstown Boulevard at the north high school driveway would allow vehicles to easily pass a stopped left - turning school bus. However, with the free right in place, it is anticipated that typical queuing will no longer block this driveway. Additional traffic control, though warranted, at Nightingale Street & Crosstown Boulevard is not anticipated to be needed at this time. A sight distance analysis at the location leads the discussion H:\ANDVAN 15106158 \3— Preliminary_pesign\A _preliminary design \Traffic Tech Memo.doc DESIGNA'G FOR A BETT=i TOMORROW Bolton & Menk is an equal opportunity employer. 103 of future traffic control to a roundabout and not a traffic signal. The curvature of Crosstown Boulevard is tight for a traffic signal to function safely. A roundabout could be installed at this location and would not pose any safety concerns while minimizing delay and traffic queuing. The design and construction of a roundabout at this location in the future when additional traffic control is necessary should be reviewed in further detail. Long -Term Future traffic projections in the area indicate heavy traffic growth leading up to 2030. Crosstown Boulevard, Hanson Boulevard, and Andover Boulevard between Crosstown Boulevard and Hanson Boulevard, all are likely to have high enough volumes to justify 4 -lane divided roadways, but the need for the exact limits of the proposed expansion relies on the Hanson Blvd expansion and the proposed future extension of Andover Blvd west of the high school. If Hanson Blvd is expanded and Andover Blvd is extended, Crosstown Blvd and Andover Blvd should also be expanded to four -lane divided facilities, but if Hanson Blvd is expanded and the proposed extension is not built, Crosstown Blvd and Andover Blvd are expected to function acceptably as three -lane facilities except for Crosstown Blvd from Nightingale Street to Hanson Blvd which should be expanded to a four -lane divided facility under all scenarios. Building additional thru lanes along the corridors in the study area also means that all intersections will need to be widened to accommodate the new roadway widths. Any short term improvements built prior to this expansion will probably need to be torn out to make room for the new alignments with the exception being anything designed to be expandable. We recommend that the City and County begin the process of securing funding where needed to make the long term improvements a feasible reality. Proposed Long -Term Implementation Schedule Based on the analysis completed and the most benefit to the area, the proposed improvements should be completed in the order shown below. If safety or operational concerns necessitate a need to complete some projects earlier than the schedule shown below, the schedule should be changed to accommodate the immediate need and potential funding sources available. 1. Expansion of Hanson Blvd to a four -lane divided highway from Jay Street to north of Andover Blvd 2. Expansion of Hanson Blvd to a four -lane divided highway from Andover Blvd to just north of Oak View Middle School and intersection improvements at Hanson/Crosstown 3. Expansion of Crosstown Blvd to a four -lane divided facility from Nightingale to Hanson Blvd and intersection improvements at Nightingale /Crosstown 4. Intersection improvements at Andover /Crosstown 5. Expansion of Crosstown Blvd to add turn lanes at all intersections from Nightingale to Andover Blvd 6.

JoN a,�m Hanson Blvd 104 b. Expansion of Crosstown Blvd to a four -lane divided facility from Nightingale to Andover Blvd c. Expansion of Crosstown Blvd to a four -lane divided facility from Andover to Bunker Lake Blvd It is recommended that an evaluation of traffic volumes on the corridors in the area be completed after the Hanson Blvd improvements as this capacity expansion may reduce the traffic volumes and capacity expansion needs on Crosstown Blvd. The extension of Andover Blvd should also be evaluated for its effects on the area after it is completed as the projections in the Comprehensive Plan show a significant increase in volumes on Andover and Crosstown due to the extension that may not be fully realized. Items for Further Consideration The existing pedestrian crossing on Crosstown Boulevard at 149th Avenue along with the crash issue at Bluebird Street & Andover Boulevard should be studied further. Both issues are unique and specific to the particular locations and require additional research in order to determine proper treatment.

City of Andover From: Kevin P. Kielb, P.E. Subject: Andover Boulevard and Crosstown Boulevard Intersection Scoping Document Background In March of 2013, the City of Andover received the final report for the Andover Area Traffic Analysis. The Report, in part, analyzed traffic, determined and verified existing traffic issues, developed near term solutions and provided a strategy for long term solutions at the Andover Boulevard and Crosstown Boulevard intersection. Several options were analyzed in the Report related to short-term mitigation strategies. Alternative 3B, which consisted of lengthening the southbound right turn lane on Crosstown Boulevard and adding a westbound lane to Andover Boulevard, has been selected for further consideration by the study partners. The study partners include the City of Andover as the lead agency, with Anoka County and Independent School District (ISD) 11 as active participants in the discussions. Whereas the March 2013 Report had the objective of a broad scale analysis of many alternatives, this report will focus more on the details associated with Alternative 3B from that study. Costs presented in this report represent total estimated project costs. Right -of -way or easements will be required from ISD 11 to construct a portion of the improvements and are included where appropriate. The estimates also include costs associated with fiscal, administrative, legal and engineering. Existing Conditions Crosstown Boulevard Crosstown Boulevard is a north -south route through this area. The typical section consists of a 2 -lane undivided rural roadway section through the corridor. At the intersection with Andover Boulevard, southbound right and left turn lanes are created. A 10 -ft wide shared use path follows the westerly boulevard of the roadway. Curb and gutter was installed along the existing right turn lane to allow for drainage, clear zone and trail separation requirements to be achieved. There is underground electrical along the westerly boulevard, while overhead utilities are located along the easterly boulevard. Public utilities include water main in the easterly boulevard of the roadway. DESIGNING FOR A BETTER TOMORROW Bolton & Menk is an equal opportunity employer 125 Page 2 of 6 Andover Boulevard Andover Boulevard is an east -west route through this area. The typical section consists of a 2 -lane undivided urban roadway section through the corridor. At the intersection with Crosstown Boulevard, eastbound left and right turn lanes are created. A 10 -ft wide shared use path follows the northerly boulevard of Andover Boulevard west of Crosstown Boulevard. There are public utilities located in the northerly boulevard of Andover Boulevard. Individual storm sewer segments and fire hydrants are also located in the northerly boulevard area. Sanitary sewer follows closely to the centerline of the roadway. Independent School District (ISD) 11 Property There are a couple of improvements associated with the ISD 11 property that could be impacted by proposed improvements as described below: A large school sign is located in the northwest quadrant of the intersection, close to the curve radius between the roadways. A chain link fence is located along the westerly boulevard of Crosstown Boulevard, just inside the right of way line. The chain link fence is located approximately 4 feet west of the shared use trail. Intersection Area Each leg of the intersection is comprised of one thru lane in each direction, with left and right turn lanes in the approaching lane direction. The traffic signal system is a standard pole and mast arm configuration with cobra -head style lighting on all four poles. The cabinet and controller associated with the signal system are located in the southeast quadrant of the intersection. Loop detection and EVP detection are integrated into the signal system. There are walk and/or trails present in each quadrant of the intersection. Pedestrian curb ramps have been constructed, however, it is unknown if they meet current ADA standards. None of the curb ramps have truncated dome surfaces. Figure 1 depicts the existing conditions in the area. Proposed Improvements The proposed improvements will consist of the work depicted in Alternative 3B of the March 2013 Report. This will generally consist of the following improvements: • Construct a longer southbound right turn lane, approximately 1000 feet, along Crosstown Boulevard, • Construct a free -right median for southbound to westbound traffic, • Construct an auxiliary lane along Andover Boulevard (west of Crosstown Boulevard) from the intersection to the school driveway, and • Construct signal modifications. Figure 2 presents an overall perspective of the proposed improvements. The March 2013 Report included a cursory review of each of the above items. The following paragraphs provide a more detailed analysis of the improvements and associated impacts. DESIGNING FOR A BETTER TOMORROW Bolton & Menk is an equal opportunity employer. NXI Page 3 of 6 Crosstown Boulevard Southbound Right Turn Lane The existing right turn lane extends approximately 300 feet north of the intersection. The right turn lane will be extended approximately 1000 feet further north and terminate just south of the southerly school entrance. A gap of approximately 50 feet will be left between the driveway and the new pavement to allow the turn lane is adequately delineated. Because traffic is anticipated to be traveling at a slow speed in this location, a 10:1 taper, rather than a 15:1 taper, will be used to enter the turn lane. To extend the turn lane, the existing pavement will be saw -cut along the shoulder stripe, 12 feet west of centerline. A 12 -inch mill overlap between the new turn lane and existing mainline will be completed to tie the sections together. A new section of pavement will then be installed consisting of 12 inches of granular material, 6 inches of Class V aggregate base course and 5.5 inches of bituminous pavement. A key issue with this turn lane extension relates to the shared use path located in the westerly boulevard of the roadway. Currently, the distance between the edge of shoulder and edge of pathway varies from 23 to 25 feet along the rural portion of the roadway. Curb and gutter was placed adjacent to the existing right turn lane. In this area, there is approximately 10 feet of separation between the back of curb and edge of trail. The trail itself is 10 feet wide, with a separation of 4 to 5 feet from the edge of trail to the fence line on the school property and /or the right of way line (school property line). There is an extremely shallow swale between the roadway and trail that appears to drain to the south through this section of the corridor. The swale outlets into the existing curb and gutter approximately 300 feet north of the intersection. The Mn/DOT Bikeway Facility Manual recommends the following for roadways with speed limits of 45 mph or greater: • 24 feet to 35 feet for roadways with no curb, and • 5 feet to 10 feet for roadways with curb. Recent discussions with Mn/DOT's State Aid Department indicate that the Bikeway Manual recommendations should be considered as `desirable' along state aid routes. The only state aid requirement at this time is that a 2 ft clear zone must be maintained for both a path and a state aid street. The clear zones can overlap, meaning a 2 ft separation is required between the path and the back of curb. There are two options available based on this guidance: 1. Widen Crosstown Boulevard and install Concrete Curb and Gutter For this alternative, the trail would remain in its current location, and 10 feet of separation would be provided between the back of curb and the trail. This is similar to the current configuration along the existing right turn lane closer to the intersection. The swale between the roadway and the trail would be reconstructed and would continue to discharge onto the existing curb and gutter approximately 300 feet north of the intersection. Curb cuts may be required to allow for storm water to discharge into the swale, depending upon the final spread calculations performed during final design. The estimated project costs associated with this option are approximately $116,250 as detailed in the Appendix on Cost Estimate — Page 1. Figure 3 presents a depiction of this alternative. 2. Widen Crosstown Boulevard and Relocate the Trail further West This option is similar to option 1 with respect to the improvements to Crosstown Boulevard. With this option, however, the trail would be relocated to provide a minimum of 23 feet of separation between the edge of the trail and the edge of the Crosstown Boulevard shoulder. This would DESIGNING FOR A BETTER TOMORROW Bolton & Menk is an equal opportunity employer. 127 Page 4 of 6 necessitate the acquisition of 12 ft to 15 ft of easement from ISD 11, relocating the chain link fence further to the west, and reconstructing the bituminous trail. The estimated project costs associated with this option are approximately $201,500 as detailed in the Appendix on Cost Estimate — Page 2. Figure 4 presents a depiction of this alternative. Construct a Free -Right Median for Southbound to Westbound Traffic A median will be constructed to allow southbound traffic to turn right into their own westbound lane without stopping at the intersection or waiting for a green light. The bituminous trail will need to be reconstructed through this area, and the school sign may have to be relocated. The median will include pedestrian ramps to facilitate crossings of both Crosstown Boulevard and Andover Boulevard. To construct the auxiliary lane, the existing pavement will be saw -cut along the shoulder stripe, 12 feet west of centerline. A 12 -inch mill overlap between the new turn lane and existing mainline will be completed to tie the sections together. A new section of pavement will then be installed consisting of 12 inches of granular material, 6 inches of Class V aggregate base course and 5.5 inches of bituminous pavement. The project costs associated with this portion of the project are approximately $155,625 as detailed in the Appendix on Cost Estimate — Page 3. Figure 5 presents a depiction of this portion of the improvements. Additionally, some communities are interpreting the ADA compliance standards to indicate that if improvements are made at an intersection, all curb ramps at the intersection must be brought up to current standards. In the cost portion of this report, we have provided a cost to replace the pedestrian curbs ramps in the remaining three quadrants of the intersection. The project costs associated with this option are approximately $13,500 as detailed in the Appendix on Cost Estimate — Page 4. The location of the pedestrian curb ramps can be seen on figure 5. Construct an Auxiliary Lane along Andover Boulevard An auxiliary lane will be constructed from the intersection and connect to the existing right turn lane into the ISD 11 property. To facilitate the improvements, the following will be completed: • Saw -cut the existing pavement 12 feet north of the existing centerline, approximately on the shoulder stripe of the roadway. This will be complete from the intersection to a point approximately 400 feet east of the school driveway. • Remove the existing pavement and curb and gutter through the area where the pavement was saw -cut. • The existing bituminous trail will be removed and replaced through the same area. The trail will be reconstructed to maintain a minimum separation of 4 feet between the back of curb and the trail. This is more than the minimum allowed, but is the minimum recommended for turf establishment and maintenance. • Relocate the catch - basins in the roadway to the new curb line location and connect to the existing storm sewer. • Relocate fire hydrants to behind the new pathway location where required. • Reconstruct the roadway to create a total of 26 feet for westbound traffic. This includes two 12 ft lanes and a 2 ft curb reaction distance from the outside lane. • The roadway will then be re- striped to accommodate the new lane geometry. When completed, the existing westbound through lane will remain as it exists today. The auxiliary lane DESIGNING FOR A BETTER TOMORROW Bolton & Menk is an equal opportunity employer. 128 Page 5 of 6 will begin at the free right island, will allow for approximately 1000 feet of weaving between the auxiliary lane and the through lane, and then terminate as a right turn lane into the school property. The project costs associated with this portion of the project are approximately $225,500 as detailed in the Appendix on Cost Estimate — Page 5. Figure 6 presents a depiction of this portion of the improvements. Signal Modifications The signal pole in the northwest quadrant of the intersection will need to be relocated to the newly constructed right turn island. The following improvements will need to be made as a portion of the project: • Construct a new 35' mast arm, pole and foundation, • Salvage and reinstall the existing 4 signal heads, the 2 pedestrian indications and EVP indication from the pole and mast arm currently located in this quadrant of the intersection, • Construct new handholes and install new conduit to cross Crosstown Boulevard, enter the island, and cross under the free right lane, • Install new conduit for the upstream loop detectors on Crosstown Boulevard, • Remove and replace the existing wiring from the cabinet to the mast arm and upstream loop detectors, and • Construct a pedestrian crossing sign and arrow plaque at the crosswalk within the free right turn lane. These are considered the minimum improvements required to complete the signal related work. The project costs associated with this portion of the project are approximately $43,750. In additional to the base work described above, additional signal related improvements could be completed as follows: • Upgrade to Pedestrian Countdown Indications (Full Intersection) This upgrade includes 8 LED pedestrian countdown indications as well as new wiring to each indication. The project costs associated with this option are approximately $12,375. • Upgrade to APS (Full Intersection) To best accommodate pedestrians, the intersection could be upgraded to be an Accessible Pedestrian Signal. The upgrade includes an audible pedestrian central control unit, audible pedestrian configurator, 8 countdown indications, and 8 audible pushbuttons. The project costs associated with this option are approximately $34,625. • Upgrade to Flashing Yellow Arrow (Full Intersection) A separate study would be required to determine if flashing yellow arrows are warranted for this location. The estimate for this work includes the additional study cost as well as (8) 4- section LED heads required for the FYA and a new signal controller. The project costs associated with this option are approximately $31,875. DESIGNING FOR A BETTER TOMORROW Bolton & Menk is an equal opportunity employer. 129 Page 6 of 6 • New Controller Cabinet (TS2) If the existing cabinet is a TS 1, there are not enough load switches to run FYA. This estimate is for a new TS2 cabinet as well as the necessary wiring. NOTE: This cost would need to be added to the FYA estimate if flashing yellow arrows are chosen to be installed. The project costs associated with this option are approximately $23,375. • Rewire Entire Intersection In order to upgrade to APS and/or FYA, we recommend rewiring the intersection. This estimate includes costs of removing the existing cable and installing new cables. NOTE: This cost should be added to the cost to upgrade to APS or upgrade to FYA. It only needs to be applied once if both APS and FYA chosen. The project costs associated with this option are approximately $15,500. Cost Summary Costs presented in this report represent total estimated project costs. Right -of -way or easements will be required from ISD 11 to construct a portion of the improvements and are included where appropriate. The estimates also include costs associated with fiscal, administrative, legal and engineering.

DISCUSSION Identified in the City's 2014 -2018 Capital Improvement Plan is reconstruction of Makah Street NW from 1591h Avenue NW to Roanoke Street NW (7`h Avenue NW), and 159`h Avenue NW from Makah Street NW to 7`h Avenue NW. The project would include reclaiming the existing bituminous surface, replacing bituminous curb with concrete curb and gutter, minor storm sewer improvements, and paving a new bituminous surface. This has been a very effective reconstruction method since the City began the process back in 1996. A deep 36" culvert under 159`h Avenue NW will also be replaced with this project. An informational meeting was held with the residents in this neighborhood on December 17`h, 2013. Staff discussed the project, received comments, and provided residents with preliminary information, including estimated costs. Attached are the sign -in and comment sheets from the meeting. The estimated assessment per unit is $6,500.00. Attached are the following: * Resolution Ordering the Improvement * Location Map * Letter to property owners regarding estimated assessment * Public Hearing Notice * Estimated assessment payment schedule * Sign in Sheet from Neighborhood Meeting & Resident Comment Sheet Note: The feasibility report was in the January 7, 2014 packet. Please bring this to the meeting. BUDGET IMPACT The project would be funded from the City's Road & Bridge Fund, with 25% of the total project costs associated with the Makah Street NW improvements assessed to the benefiting properties as identified in the City's Roadway Reconstruction Assessment Policy. All roadway costs for 159`h Avenue NW would be funded through the City's Road & Bridge Fund as there are no private properties fronting Mayor and Council Members February 5, 2014 Page 2 of 2 along this segment. The costs associated with the 36" culvert replacement under 159`h Avenue NW would be funded through the City's Stormwater Utility Fund.

The proposed project consists of milling the existing bituminous roadway, shaping the gravel, minor storm sewer improvements, and constructing a new bituminous surface with concrete curb and gutter. The total estimated cost of the proposed improvements is $864,810.00. This estimated cost includes construction costs, contingencies, and indirect costs. The project would be funded through special assessments, the City's Road and Bridge Fund, and the City's Stormwater Utility Fund. All project costs for 159th Avenue NW including the 36 inch culvert replacement would be funded by the City as there are no properties directly fronting this roadway with the exception of the City owned property. Twenty -five percent (25 %) of the total project costs along Makah Street NW would be assessed to the benefiting properties in accordance with the City's Roadway Reconstruction Assessment Policy. The total estimated assessment amount is $149,390.00. The remaining seventy -five percent (75 %) of the total project costs for Makah Street NW, plus projects costs for 159th Avenue NW, would be funded through the City's Road and Bridge Fund and Stormwater Utility Fund. The City costs are estimated at $715,420.00. The estimated assessment to each property fronting along the improvements is $6,500.00. One property has the potential to be split and would be assessed for 2 units. The actual assessment amount will be determined based upon actual construction costs. This cost could be assessed over a 10 -year period at 5.5% interest (maximum rate), or the assessment could be paid in full with no interest within 30 days of the final assessment hearing, which would take place in the fall of 2014. Enclosed is a public hearing notice for the proposed project. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at (763) 767 -5133, or Jason Law, Assistant City Engineer at (763) 767 -5130.
