Justin Femrite, City of Elk River August 5, 2021 <br />Elk River Downtown Traffic and Parking Study <br /> <br /> <br />Page 16 <br />Recommendation <br />Based on a review of the one-way conversion options along Jackson Avenue between Highway 10 <br />and Main Street, the primary benefits include an increase of on-street parking (i.e., approximately nine <br />spaces) along Jackson Avenue, improved intersection operations at the Highway 10/Jackson Avenue <br />intersection, and the opportunity to provide enhanced multimodal facilities and crossings. To <br />implement the one-way options, reconstruction and signal modifications within the segment of <br />Jackson Avenue would be required, which would be costly and have short-term impacts to <br />businesses. In addition, the one-way options would have a negative impact on traffic operations along <br />Main Street between Parrish Avenue and Highway 10, as well as result in circulation challenges for <br />downtown users. Therefore, the benefits of the one-way conversion options do not align with the <br />infrastructure cost and subsequent impacts to other areas of downtown. <br /> <br />
