Date: June 1996 TH 169 at 197th Avenue NW in Elk River, Sherburne County PROJECT DESCRIPTION Existing Conditions The TH 169 and 197th Avenue NW intersection is located in the City of Elk River, Minnesota (see Figure 1, Project Location). TH 169 is a north-south, four-lane divided principal arterial roadway with a posted speed limit of 55 miles per hour in this area. 197th Avenue NW is an east-west, two-lane roadway with a posted speed limit of 30 miles per hour in the area. Unsignalized side-street stop traffic control is currently provided at the subject intersection. Surrounding land uses in this area are primarily retail and commercial and residential type land uses, however, much of the land in this area is undeveloped. Proposed Conditions Proposed roadway geometric improvements to the 197th Avenue westbound approach to TH 169 would include widening to provide one left turn only lane, one through lane, and one right turn only lane. The proposed Evans Street will form a T-intersection with 197th Avenue approximately 400 feet east of TH 169. The proposed Evans Street will provide access to the proposed development south of 197th Avenue. Roadway improvements planned for 197th Avenue west of TH 169 include providing an exclusive left turn lane, and a combined through/right (see Figure 2, Proposed Development Plan). The proposed traffic control signal system at the TH 169 and 197th Avenue intersection will be a full traffic actuated signal system with eight phase operation. Protected left tum phasing will be provided on each approach to the subject intersection. · : .! -_ ' . ~-~ .. .:. -:: : ' :;; '-::" ............... ..-"::"~-, ', :i:'''':::;'~:' ~:-~he ~nstruct~on ,cost of~.the ro ose., .;.~: ¢ .~.~,.. ........... ,~__ .~, .p p ~, proje~ wdl be funde¢ 50 percent b Mn/DOT. and 50 per~nt by the C~N of Elk ~er ': ./'":':. ?-:':::':.
