CONCEPT EVALUATION <br /> <br />n <br />~~ <br />» Long term interchange located at existing ~7~st Avenue signal <br />location. <br />» Concensus o f the City o f Elk River was the interchange located here <br />would be challenging. Dimensional constraints and existing developed <br />properties would drive up the overall cost o f the interchange, and <br />may displace more business than attract new ones. <br />scenario 4 <br />» Long-term interchange location similar to what was identified in the <br />Phase One study for the FAST area, somewhere between 67th and <br />65th Avenue. <br />» Consensus o f the City o f Elk River was that this approach to the long- <br />termtransportation patterns makes the most sense. The location is in <br />close proximity to existing business and the Northstar commuter rail <br />station and would be located in currently undeveloped land. <br />» Options to explore further with this concept were also discussed. <br />The potential to have a near term signal at 67th or at the future <br />interchange location should be further explored in lieu o f 65th Avenue <br />to create a stronger near term connection to the existing business, the <br />• Gateway industrial park and a more direct, second access to Highway <br />io f rom the Northstar commuter rail station. <br />22 p 171St. CN2f1U2 Focused Area S7udy <br />j ;^ <br />Scenario 3: Scenario 4: <br />» Interim signals at t7~st Avenue and 65th Avenue » Interim signals at the existing ~7~st Avenue and 65th Avenue <br />intersections. <br />
