• Changing the geometry and repositioning the side -street stop control to recognize the east -west flow on 5t" Street would have acceptable operations with existing traffic or with shifted traffic under any Line Avenue alternative. • A roundabout is an option only with existing traffic at the Line Avenue/5t" Street intersection. Recommendations. Based on these conclusions, the following is recommended: • Keep Line Avenue connected between Main Street/181 st Avenue and Twin Lakes Road based on satisfactory traffic operations today. • Change Line Avenue to place a cul-de-sac between the intersections of 5t" Street and Twin Lakes Road if addition reasons beyond traffic operations suggest a change is necessary. • Consider the potential mitigation of a southbound left turn lane on Twin Lakes Road at the Line Avenue intersection, which will improve safety in any scenario. • Consider the potential mitigation of an eastbound right turn lane on Line Avenue at the Twin Lakes Road intersection, which will improve traffic operations if Line Avenue corridor does not change or if the corridor has a cul-de-sac placed south of the 5th Street intersection. • Revise the 5th Street intersection with Dodge Avenue to recognize the dominant flow of traffic between the north leg and the east leg. This is recommended under any alternative, including if Line Avenue is not changed. • Revise the 5th Street intersection with Line Avenue to a roundabout if no changes occur on the Line Avenue corridor. If Line Avenue is changed with a cul-de-sac placed south of the 5t" Street intersection, revise the 5t" Street intersection with Line Avenue to recognize the dominant flow of traffic between the west leg and north leg. • Monitor the Twin Lakes Road/181St Avenue intersection for increased traffic volumes and decreasing operations in the near future, when a traffic signal may be warranted.
