Existing Level of Congestion: Levels of Service A-B; un-congested - all abutting roads. Existing Functional Classification: Viking Boulevard (CH 31) T,yin Lakes Road (ell 13) Cleveland Avenue (CH 40) Davis Street (CH 40) Minor Arterial l\Iinor p-.rterial 1\linor Collector Minor Collector Forecasted average dail)' traffic for 2025 with existing plus committed road improvements area as follows, based on the City of Elk River Comprehensive Transportation Plan: 'Tiking Boulevard (CH 31) 10,600 Twin Lakes Road (CH 13) 11,200 Cleveland Avenue (CH 40) 7,900 * Da\is Street (CH 40) 7,900 * *CH 40 is scheduled for reconstruction between CSAH 12 and CSAH 13 beginning in 2006. This ,'alue is from Sherburne County Highway Department estimates. Recommended improvement actions in the short term (through 2010) from the City Transportation Plan identify a segment of Twin Lakes Road and Viking Boulevard adjacent to the project site for roadway expansion and turn lanes as may be determined in a corridor stud)'. Additionally it is recommended a corridor be identified for a connection of CH 33 into Anoka County Dear Viking Boulevard be identified. Medium term (2001 to 2018) actions include the reconstruction of CH 40 and classify the segment as a minor arterial. Additionally, it is recommended that a new CH 33 connection to Viking Boulevard be constructed. These recommendations, when implemented, will likely improve the level of senice to A and B. The Applicant will create access points and construct minor improvements as may be required and in conformance with the City of Elk River Transportation Plan. This project provides a logical extension of City infrastructure. 28. Impact on infrastructure and public services. Will new or expanded utilities, roads, other infrastructure or public services be required to serve the project? X Yes No. If yes, describe the ne,,: or additional infrastructure or services needed. (Note: any infrastructure that is a connected action with respect to the project must be assessed in the EA W; see EA W Guidelines for details.) The project will require typical extensions of public roadways and utilities to serve the development. 29. Cumulative impacts. Minnesota Rule part 4410.1700, subpart 7, item B requires that the RGU consider the "cumulative potential effects of related or anticipated future projects" when determining the need for an environmental impact statement. Identify any past, present or reasonably foreseeable future projects that may interact \vith the project described in this EA W in such a \vay as to cause cumulative impacts. Describe the nature of the cumulative impacts and summarize any other available information relevant to determining whether there is potential for significant environmental effects due to cumulative impacts (or discuss each cumulative impact under appropriate iteln(s) else11--'here on this fonn). River Park (west of Liberty Heights Estates of Elk River) is in the beginning stage of deyelopment. Trott Brook Farms (south of Riyer Park) is near the final phases of completion. Efforts are being taken to coordinate planning '\Yith this development for extension of roads and utility services. Storm ,yater runoff '\-yill increase in 'Volume and not in rate of discharge. Recei'ving basins for storm '"tater are affected by only this project. "7ater quality protection is provided in the Storm "Vater Pollution Prevention Plan. Traffic volumes on the local and County road system serying this project and adjacent projects will increase due to inadequate facilities as identified in the traffic study for this project. Level of sen"ice at key intersections \"ill decline unless improvements are made. Air quality may sho,",. small decreases at key intersections during rush hours due to traffic congestion. 30. Other potential environmental impacts. If the project may cause any adverse environmental impacts not addressed by items 1 to 28, identify and discuss them here, along \vith any proposed mitigation. There are no other potential impacts known at this time. 31. SUfnn12ry of issues. Do llO! cC/lnp!erc [his sccrion U- the EA Ii" is being done fCJr EIS scoping,. insiead,
