tu:.’''- LfI !■ IV. :-v'. V. VII. VIII. IX. Traffic data was the next agenda Item. Brigid started with a review of the 1998 Average Daily Traffic (ADT). Next was a list and corresponding map of highways with similar ADT to TH 12 that currently do not have future plans for expansion within the next 20 years, "nie last Item was a map of the forecasted 2020 ADT traffic. Jim Grube stated that CR 6 was in error and would have around 10,000. Crash data was the following agenda item. Brigid started with a map of the study area that split up the road into three segments with corresponding crash rates and accident rates. Each segment was below the Metro average for similar roadway types for the crash rate and severity rate. The next figure showed the location of each reported accident from 1997*1999 through the study area. Historical crash data showed that the crash and severity rates have been fairly consistent in the past nine years. Pie charts showing the different crash types were reviewed for each segment. Land use was the next agenda Item. Brigid stated that land use and transportation are directly related, as access improves land values rise, which brings about more development and creates increased access. The Independence and Maple Plain land use maps was reviewed. Marvin Johnson stated that land values are high in Independence even as large 40 plus acre lots. The city intends to maintain it’s agricultural district in the western two thirds and rural residential in the eastern one third. Independence shows a slow future growth with population at full density of 4,600 occurring after 2020. Marvin said that their city would not benefit to grow over 5,000 people. Maple Plain will reach full development by 2005. John Hippehen followed with a discussivu on access management. He reviewed the access management brochure. His proceeding handouts correlated between access and crashes, and access and speeds. John ended with a summary of the Access Management spacing guidelines. Based on the guidelines TH 12 would be a category 2b through Independence and a category 5 through Maple Plain. There were no new Issues that were not identified at the first meeting. Marvin and Jack both expressed their desire to start developing design concepts. They thought that when a design concept was released to the community it would generate more interest, which would bring about more issues and concerns. Next Steps: i. Identify left turn warrants that meet access guidelines. ii. Coordinate with the Maintenance Unit on any issues and future work. iii. Coordinate a news release in the community papers. iv.
