area is shown in Figure 1 (page 5). <br />Characteristics <br />Wayzata Blvd (T.H. 12) is a two lane highway (through the project region) <br />which is classified as a principal arterial and services east and west-bound <br />semi-local and regional traffic. Wayzata Blvd currently has a single through <br />lane and a dedicated right turn lane on each approach. Under the proposed <br />project, semi-opposed left turn lanes and raised concrete medians will be <br />added. T.H. 12 is straight through the intersection area and has a gentle <br />downgrade to the west. <br />Willow Drive is a two lane uncurbed local street which in this region services <br />north and south-bound local traffic operating in an area bounded by Old <br />Crystal Bay Road one-half mile to the west and C.R. 146 or Brown Road <br />approximately one-half mile to the east. The northbound and southbound <br />intersection approaches each currently have a single approach lane. Under the <br />proposed project a second lane will be added to each approach. Willow Drive <br />is straight through the intersection area and crosses T.H. 12 at essentially a <br />right angle. The southbound aporoach is essentially level, but the northbound <br />approach rises sharply (3 or 4 feet) to meet Wayzata Blvd. The Willow Drive <br />approaches are currently stop sign controlled and a flashing beacon system was <br />recently installed to improve int«rsection visibility and control. The <br />proposed intersection geometry and area layout are shown in Figure 2 (page 7). <br />Visibility to the west is unrestricted on both Willow Drive approaches. To <br />the east, however, the combination of a 3*30' southerly curve (looking east)
