205th Avenue intersections with the TH 169 ramps should have sufficient capacity to accommodate this additional traffic. • Provide construction barrels to clearly identify the spectator parking access and provide separation from the through lanes on TH 169. This line of barrels is necessary to keep an orderly flow of traffic entering the site (no line cutters). Once traffic has entered the ERX site, the following is recommended: • Two-way routing from 217th Avenue to the parking lots and back. • Have parking attendants directing traffic into the Carlson agreement lot and Plaisted lot. • Add orange construction cones to effectively create channelized turn lanes at 219th Avenue/north south connection road. o Direct parking traffic (northbound traffic) to the east (right turn) into the Plaisted lot using the easternmost entrance into the lot. o Direct exiting vehicles parked in the Plaisted parking area out of the western access to prevent conflicts with entering vehicles. • Directing vehicles parked in the Carlson parking area out of the access on the northeast corner of the lot to prevent conflicts with entering vehicles. See Figure 5 in Appendix A for the graphical display of this traffic control. e. Large Event Operations Events with more than 6,000 spectators will trigger the second level of traffic routing and operations building upon the elements of the Medium Event traffic control. The biggest difference between the Medium Event operations and the Large Event operations is the use of the overflow parking lot, located on the west side of TH 169 off CSAH 33. To provide for safe operations on TH 169 during the peak and non -peak periods, the following is recommended: • Follow the recommendations for the Medium Event. • Close the TH 169 median at the 213th Avenue intersection, creating right- in/right-out access only. • Add additional signing to identify the overflow parking access. • Begin directing spectators to the overflow lot once the parking facilities north of the site reach about 85 percent capacity. This could be completed through additional signing and using barrels to prevent drivers from entering the right turn lane. After the peak period passes and most spectators are on-site, these parking areas can be re -opened. The remaining 15 percent plus attendees who leave early should ensure sufficient parking spaces for late arrivers. Once traffic has entered the ERX site the routing recommendations and operations will be the same as the Medium Event. For vehicles parking in the overflow lot the following is recommended: • Two-way routing from 217th Avenue to the parking lots and back. Traffic Management Plan 11 Elk River Extreme Motor Park
