Medina Project No: 000190-07012-0 Transportation Plan Adopted November 17, 2009 MEDINA – TRANSPORTATION PLAN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

INTRODUCTION The transportation element of the Comprehensive Plan looks at the roadway network as a base for the transportation system. The plan provides a hierarchy of roads that are based on functional classification and serves the City of Medina. The transportation plan is developed to reflect current trends in the evolution of the City. Future year traffic projections are provided and the plan is developed so as to accommodate those volumes. The major arterial providing access to/from the City, TH 55, has undergone considerable access planning in the recent past. The preferred access concept is presented in this report. This updated transportation plan will aid the decision - makers in the mission of providing efficient transportation service for the citizens of Medina.

GROWTH AND TRANSPORTATION DEMAND The City of Medina is projected to grow to a population of 12,700 by the year 2030. This is a growth of 8,695 persons from the year 2000 population of 4,005. This growth, in conjunction with regional growth, will increase traffic volumes on the primary area roadways within Medina. Estimates of 2030 volumes provided in the transportation plan indicate that Minnesota Trunk Highway 55 and the Hennepin County system will continue to accommodate the majority of the traffic in and thru Medina. The greatest demand will occur on Trunk Highway 55. Long range planning, access management and the TH 55 concept improvement plan is of primary importance to the City of Medina.

EXISTING FACILITIES Medina doesn't have any regular route transit service for the City. The majority of the roadways are two- facilities. Existing traffic congestion is prevalent along TH 55 and at the CSAH 101 and County Road 116 intersections with TH 55. This congestion occurs during the morning and afternoon peak traffic periods of the day.

FUNCTIONAL/CLASSIFICATION OF ROADWAYS The City of Medina contains roadways under the jurisdiction of the State of Minnesota, Hennepin County and the City of Medina. There are also some private local roadways in Medina. Roadway systems are classified according to function and include the following: Principal Arterials A Minor Arterials B Minor Arterials Major Collectors Minor Collectors Local

Medina Project No: 000190-07012-0 Transportation Plan Page 1 The only Principal Arterial in Medina is U.S. Highway 12 that touches the southwest corner of the City. The A minor arterials include TH 55, and County Roads 101, 24, 19, and 11. 116 is classified as a B Minor Arterial. Major collectors include County Highway 115 and County Road 201. These are a series of minor collectors in the areas along TH 55.

The functional classification system for Medina utilizes the State and County system to accommodate the vast majority of the thru traffic. The commercial-retail area along TH 55 does include some collectors to carry traffic to/from the arterials and to provide accessibility to the higher density land uses.

ACCESS MANAGEMENT Each governmental unit having roadway jurisdiction also controls access to these roadways. The plan provides the access guidelines of MnDOT, Hennepin County and the City of Medina for the various functionally classified roadway types. Access management is extremely important in protecting the capacity and safety of a roadway. Very simply, the higher the number of driveways along an arterial or collector, the capacity of the roadway is decreased and the crash accidents increase. Access management is to be a shared function of each governmental unit.

TRANSIT Medina does not have any regular route transit service as it is outside the transit service area of the Metropolitan Council. The City will continue to work with the Metropolitan Council to determine the need and timing for peak hour service along TH 55 along with the establishment of a park and ride lot.

TH 55 IMPROVEMENT The TH 55 corridor coalition has prepared a concept improvement plan for TH 55 thru the City of Medina. This plan proposes the provision of an improved facility with the potential of interchanges at CSAH 101 and CSAH 116. The plan proposes TH 55 to be a six-lane divided roadway from the east City border to CSAH 116 and then a four-lane divided highway from CSAH 116 to the west border at Townline Road. The City will continue to work with the coalition in order to further the improvement process and to ultimately see this project constructed. The Medina City Council approved a resolution on December 18, 2007 that endorses the general concept plan providing that certain measures are addressed. These measures are described in Chapter 10 of the Transportation plan report.

I. GOALS AND POLICIES The City of Medina provides a transportation system which, in conjunction with State and County facilities, allows the movement of people and goods through and within the city. The identification of goals and policies assists in providing direction in the development of an integrated multi-modal transportation system that will serve the anticipated growth within Medina.

Medina Project No: 000190-07012-0 Transportation Plan Page 2 The goals of the Transportation Plan that will guide further development of the City's transportation system are as follows: 1. Transportation in the City of Medina shall facilitate movement of its citizens and goods within and through the city. 2. Provide a transportation system that is integrated with land use and development plans and conserves and enhances environmental resources and features. 3. The transportation plan shall establish a safe, convenient, coordinated and affordable network of routes and modes of transportation within and through the city.

The City of Medina has developed a set of policies that relates directly to the City. These policies are provided below. 1. The transportation system will consist of routes coordinated with Medina's Land Use Plan. 2. The local transportation system will provide safe access to the regional roadways and will complement the traffic-carrying capability of regional roadways. Frontage roads, combined access points, and similar measures will be used, as dictated by the situation. 3. The local transportation system will inter-connect various land use districts, provide safe access to major activity areas, and will provide safe, efficient routes for emergency and public safety vehicles. 4. Where conditions permit, roadways will have adequate landscaping to maintain the natural appearance of the community and reduce the impact of traffic on abutting private property. Such landscaping may include prairie grasses, shrubs, wild flowers or other plants that match the natural flora. 5. Access to private property abutting major and minor arterial and collector streets will be controlled to maintain the proper traffic movement. 6. Acquisition of right-of-ways and construction will be designed for flexibility beyond the 20-year scope of the planning period to allow for changing transportation technology and to shape the growth pattern. 7. The City supports the upgrading of TH's 55 and 12 to four to improve both capacity and safety. 8. In general, streets will intersect at right angles; offset or "jogged" intersections will be discouraged. 9. The design and character of all transportation routes will reflect the intended use. 10. Local neighborhood streets will be designed not only to provide access to home sites, but also to retain topography, terrain, wetlands, woodlands, and other natural features. 11. The City recognizes the distinction between the transportation needs of urban development areas and rural districts. It supports the concept of different construction and maintenance standards for roadways within each area. 12. A wider right-of-way, or offset roadway will provide space for recreational uses, trails, and alternate modes of transportation. 13. Design of access points to the roadway system and traffic controls will be compatible with the roadway's function and traffic speed. 14. The spacing of minor arterials, collectors and minor collector streets will be consistent with the development intensity.

Medina Project No: 000190-07012-0 Transportation Plan Page 3 15. All private residential streets will be subject to such public rights as may be required by the City. The roadways shall be within outlots provided for purposes and shall be constructed in conformance with City standards. All such roadways shall be privately maintained. 16. The City has the discretion to require public roads as needed within subdivisions as determined by study. Private versus public road determination for rural residential subdivision shall be on a case by case basis. 17. Minor City collectors and local roadways will be designed to minimize the speed and impact of roadways on residential areas and pedestrians. techniques will be encountered to help achieve this policy. 18. The City has the ability to require right-of-way needs as required by the TH 55 official map.

II. EXISTING ROADWAY SYSTEM The existing roadway system in Medina consists of facilities under the jurisdiction of the State of Minnesota, Hennepin County and the City of Medina. There are also numerous private streets in Medina. Map 1 illustrates the jurisdiction of roadways in the City of Medina. The roadway system consists, predominately, of two-lane facilities. There are some roadways that contain four lanes for short segments. These are located on TH 55 and CSAH 101.

Not all of the public roadways in Medina are paved. Map 2 provides a graphic that shows the paved/ unpaved roads in Medina as of the year 2007.

III. TRAFFIC ASSIGNMENT ZONES FORECASTS Medina’s Traffic Assignment Zones (TAZ) forecasts originate from the City’s population and employment forecasts contained within its Comprehensive Plan. The forecasts presented in Table 1 differ slightly from those presented by the Metropolitan Council in its 2030 Regional Development Framework. In the City’s dialogue with the Metropolitan Council on future population and growth, Medina determined slightly different population and employment forecasts from those provided by Metropolitan Council. Consequently, when Medina distributes population and employment into different TAZ, slightly different results ensue.

The socio economic projections were compiled from three separate projections within Medina’s Comprehensive Plan. x Sewered population and households from Table 3-C “Medina Sewered Population and Household Capacity.” x Employment from Table 3-E “Employment Growth and Forecasts.” x Unsewered population and households from Table 3-B “Medina Population and Households Forecast based on Future Land Use.”

IV. TRAFFIC VOLUME DATA The most recent traffic volume data has been obtained from the 2006 MnDOT Traffic Flow Map. The data provides the Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) volumes. The volumes on the state controlled system are year 2006 volumes. The volumes on the County and municipal streets are year 2005 volumes. The AADT volumes are shown on Map 4.

Traffic volumes for the year 2030 have been estimated for this plan. The estimates consider 2030 estimates from the Metropolitan Council and 2020 estimates from Hennepin County. The 2030 estimates for Hennepin County roadways will be provided by the County in the future but at the present time the County won't have those estimates until late in the year 2008. The County roadway estimates for this document utilize an average annual growth rate of approximately 2 percent per year. The estimates are shown on Map 5.

V. FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION The functional classification of roadways provides guidelines for safe and efficient movement of people and goods within the City. Roads are categorized based upon the level of access and/or mobility provided.

Functional classification of a roadway system involves determining what function each roadway will be performing with regard to travel within and through the City. The intent of a functional classification system is the creation of a roadway hierarchy that collects and distributes traffic from local roadways and collectors to arterials in a safe and efficient manner. Such classification aids in determining appropriate roadway widths, speed limits, control, design features, accessibility and maintenance priorities. Functional classification helps to ensure that non-transportation factors, such as land use and development, are taken into account in planning and design of the roadway system.

A balanced system is desired, yet not always attainable due to existing conditions and characteristics. The criteria of the functional classification system are intended to be guidelines and are to be applied when plans are developed for the construction or reconstruction of a given classified route. It can and does occur that different roadways with very similar design characteristics may have different functional classifications. Some roadways, for a short segment, may carry higher volumes than a roadway with a higher classification. Spacing guidelines may not follow recommendations for a variety of reasons such as topography, land use type and density, and environmental concerns.

Medina Project No: 000190-07012-0 Transportation Plan Page 5 The two major considerations in the classification of roadway networks are access and mobility. Mobility is of primary importance on arterials, thus limitation of access is a necessity. The primary function of a local roadway, however, is the provision of access, which in turn limits mobility. The extent and degree of access control is a very important factor in the function of a roadway facility. The functional classification types utilized are dependent upon one another in order to provide a complete system of streets and highways. The relationship of functional classification with regard to traffic mobility and land access is shown on Map 6.

A complete functional design system provides a series of distinct travel movements. Most trips exhibit six recognizable stages. These stages are as follows:

• Main Movement

• Transition

• Distribution

• Collection

• Access

• Termination

As an example, Map 7 depicts this hierarchy of movement by illustrating a hypothetical trip using a freeway, which comprises the main movement. When the vehicle leaves the freeway, the transition is the use of the freeway ramp at a reduced speed. The vehicle then enters the moderate speed arterial, the distribution function, to travel toward a neighborhood. From the arterial the vehicle enters a collection road.

Then a local access road that provides direct approach to the residence or termination point. Each of the six stages of the trip is handled by a facility designed specifically for that function. Speeds and volumes normally decrease as one travels through the six stages of movement.

It must be recognized that all intermediate facilities are not always needed for various trip types. The character of movement or service that is provided has a function, and these functions do not act independently. Thus, the travel categories, more movements, become consistent with function and the classification of that function.

The functional classification of roadways is shown on Map 8. This system is based upon the regional system developed by the Metropolitan Council and the system developed by Hennepin County. General characteristics of the system are described below and the metropolitan system characteristics, as developed by the Metropolitan Council, are shown in Appendix A.

PRINCIPAL ARTERIALS (INCLUDING FEDERAL INTERSTATES) Principal arterial roadways serve major activity centers, higher traffic volumes, longer trips and carry a higher proportion of total urbanized travel on a minimum of mileage. Along these facilities, access needs to be limited in order to preserve the ability of the roadway to accommodate the volumes and to maximize safety. Spacing varies from 2-3 miles for a fully developed area to 3-6 miles for a developing area. The

Medina Project No: 000190-07012-0 Transportation Plan Page 6 management criteria require that a 40 mph average speed be achieved during peak traffic periods. Also, little or no direct land access will be allowed within an urban area. Grade separated intersections are required for freeways and highly desired for other principal arterial roadways. The only principal arterial in Medina is a short segment of Highway 12 that touches the southwest corner of the City.

MINOR ARTERIALS Minor arterial roadways connect the urban service area to cities and towns inside and outside the region and generally service medium to short trips. Minor arterials may also provide an alternate route for congested principal arterial roadways. Minor arterials connect principal arterials, minor arterials, and collectors. The spacing ranges from ¼ to ¾ of a mile in metro centers to 1-2 miles in a developing area. The desired minimum average speed during peak traffic periods is 20 mph in fully developed areas and 30 mph in developing areas. The metropolitan highway system contains two classifications of minor arterials. These are "A" minor arterials and "B" minor arterials.

The emphasis for minor arterial roadways is on mobility rather than on land access. In urban areas, direct land access is generally restricted to concentrations of commercial/industrial land uses. Minor arterial roadways in the City are as follows:

"A" Minor Arterials County Highway 101 County Highway 24 Trunk Highway 55 County Highway 19 County Highway 11

"B" Minor Arterials County Highway 116

COLLECTOR STREETS Collector streets provide more land access than arterials and provide connections to arterials, although not in all cases. As is the case with any roadway system, there will always be exceptions to the planning guidelines that are used to classify a roadway system. Collectors serve a dual function of accommodating traffic and provision of more access to adjacent properties. Mobility and land access are equally important and direct land access should predominately be to development concentrations. spacing ranges from ¼ to ¾ miles in a fully developed area to ½ to 1 miles in a developing area. Collectors are broken down further into major and minor collectors.

MAJOR COLLECTORS Major collectors generally connect to minor arterials and serve shorter trips within the City. These roads supplement the arterial system in that mobility is slightly emphasized over access.

Medina Project No: 000190-07012-0 Transportation Plan Page 7 MINOR COLLECTORS Minor collectors provide the connection between neighborhoods and commercial/industrial areas and the major collector/minor arterial system. Access is slightly emphasized over mobility in minor collectors.

LOCAL STREETS The lowest classification of roadways is the local roadway where access is provided with much less concern for control but land service is paramount. Spacing for local streets is as needed to access land uses. Local roadways generally have lower speed limits in urban areas and normally serve short trips. Local streets will connect with some minor arterials but generally connect to collectors and other local streets. The development of local streets will be guided by the location of the existing and proposed minor arterials and collectors as well as by development and the expansion of local utilities.

VI. ROADWAY CAPACITY/RIGHT-OF-WAY NEEDS The roadway system in the City of Medina will not experience any segmental capacity problems with the potential exception of TH 55. Utilizing planning level capacities of 2-lane and 4-lane roadways the year 2030 volumes have been analyzed with respect to the roadway capacities.

The majority of the roadway segments in Medina will generally be sufficient as 2-lane facilities when considering the year 2030 volume projections. Some segments of the county system have the potential of becoming a capacity issue in 2030. The northerly segments of CR 19, and County Road 116 north of TH 55 could exceed capacity of a two-lane roadway. The TH 55 concept plan should provide sufficient capacity when considering 2030 volume estimates.

VII. ACCESS MANAGEMENT The management of thoroughfare access along roadway systems, particularly arterial and collector roadways is a very important component of maximizing the capacity and decreasing the crash potential along those roadway facilities. As mentioned in a previous section, arterial roadways have a function of accommodating larger volumes of traffic and often at higher speeds. Therefore, access to such facilities must be limited in order to protect the integrity of the arterial function. Collector roadways provide a link from local streets to arterial roadways and are designed to provide more access to local land uses since the volumes and speeds are often lesser than arterial roadways.

MnDOT studies have shown that as the density of access increases, whether public or private, the traffic carrying capacity of the roadway decreases and the vehicular crash rate increases1. Businesses suffer financially on roadways with poorly designed access, while well-designed access to commercial properties supports long-term economic vitality.

1 “Toward An Access Classification System and Spacing Guidelines”, Technical Study No. 4, MnDOT, February 1999.

Medina Project No: 000190-07012-0 Transportation Plan Page 8 As with many transportation related decisions, land use activity and planning is an integral part of creation of a safe and efficient roadway system. Land use decisions have a major impact on the access conditions along the roadway system. Every land use plan amendment, subdivision, rezoning, conditional use permit, or site plan involves access and creates potential impact to the efficiency of the transportation system. Properties have access rights and good design will minimize the deleterious effect upon the roadway system. Access management is a combination of good land use planning and effective design of access to property.

The granting of access in Medina is shared by the State, the County and the City, with each having the permitting process responsibility over roadways under their control. The traveling public benefits from access spacing, whether using grade-separated crossings, frontage roads, right turn only entrances/exits, or other limited access treatments.

MnDOT has developed guidelines for access management based upon their goals of safety, mobility, and statewide economic growth. As a part of their guidelines, three new categories were developed as an addition to the functional classification system:

• High Priority Interregional Corridors (IRC) – for example Interstate 35

• Medium Priority IRC – for example US Highway 169

• High Priority Regional Corridors – for example US Highway 12

These types of roadways link the state’s primary trade centers and the Twin Cities Metro area to one another. MnDOT has further divided the primary categories into sub-categories based upon the specific facilities and land use patterns surrounding the roadway. Trunk Highway 55 and US Highway 12 are both designated as a High Priority Regional Corridor. Table 2 provides a summary of access categories and sub- categories along with the functional classification and statewide strategic importance. The roads found in the City that fall under each category are also provided. It is important to note that some roads may be listed in several categories since the adjacent land use and facilities changes along the roadway length.

Recommended spacing guidelines have been developed for each access category, including public intersections and private driveways and entrances. Table 3 shows a summary of MnDOT access spacing guidelines for the access categories presented in Table 2. These MnDOT guidelines should be followed for the state roads. More information about these guidelines and the IRC system, in general, is available on their website at http://www.oim.dot.state.mn.us/irc.html.

Medina Project No: 000190-07012-0 Transportation Plan Page 11 HENNEPIN COUNTY ACCESS SPACING GUIDELINES2 Hennepin County access spacing guidelines were developed for both urban and rural settings. The urban classification is defined as being within the 20 year Metropolitan Service Area (MUSA) boundary. The access spacing guidelines, are just that, guidelines. Existing constraints and pre-existing conditions may limit full compliance with the guidelines. Special considerations will be taken into account on a case-by-case basis. The guidelines developed for Hennepin County are based on 20 year future forecasted Average Daily Traffic (ADT) volumes for minor arterial roadways. This allows for the spacing to balance the mobility and access based on operations. This also allows the roadway’s function to change based on growth expected in the community. The Hennepin County access spacing guidelines are shown in Table 4 for urban areas and Table 5 for rural areas.

Hennepin County access spacing guidelines are being incorporated into the County’s review process. Review of new plat proposals will include the monitoring and managing of the access spacing such as:

• Orientating access to adjacent collector streets or interior local streets rather than to the county road.

• Consolidating driveway access where possible to reduce conflicts.

• Suggesting modifications to internal site circulation designs to reduce and relocate proposed access points, and minimize the impact on the county road.

• Limiting access to partial movements through to reduce vehicular conflicts.

Medina Project No: 000190-07012-0 Transportation Plan Page 13 MEDINA ACCESS SPACING GUIDELINES For other roads within the City, a set of access spacing guidelines has been prepared which is intended for use in the access permitting process. The guidelines are presented for functionally classified arterial and collector roadways without reference to the jurisdiction over these roadways. The basic references for the spacing guidelines is that document previously referenced in this section as well as guidelines used in other Minnesota counties and cities. The access guidelines are presented in Table 6, which follows. The stated values are meant to be “minimum” values. Some existing connections, both public and private, may not meet these guidelines. It is also recognized that, due to various circumstances, access may need to be granted that cannot adhere to these guidelines.

Distances are minimum and greater spacing is beneficial.

VIII. TRANSIT Medina is outside the Metropolitan Transit Taxing District. Therefore, there is no regular route transit service existing or planned in the near future for the City.

Medina is in Market Area IV. A graphic illustrating the market areas is shown on Map 9. Service options for Market Area IV include dial-a-ride, volunteer driver programs, and ridesharing. Dial-a-ride service for senior and transit dependent persons is available via Delano Dial-A-Ride. The Minnesota Rideshare Program provides service to employers, communities and individuals in the metropolitan area. Car pool matching services is available for interested individuals.

Medina Project No: 000190-07012-0 Transportation Plan Page 14 Medina will continue to monitor available transit services and may wish to investigate a park and pool area for carpool efforts. The city will also stay in contact with the Metropolitan Council for the potential of express bus service along TH 55 and a park and ride lot along that corridor.

IX. AVIATION All metropolitan area cities are required to include an airspace protection element in their comprehensive plans. There are no existing or planned aviation facilities within Medina. The airspace protection is for potential hazards to air navigation including electronic interference. City ordinances need to require proper notification to Federal and State agencies about activities that could potentially interfere with air navigation, including height of structures.

Flying in the metro region involves all types of aircraft including amphibian and float-equipped planes. MnDOT has authorized that Lake Independence is available for sea-plane use.

X. TH 55 CORRIDOR COALITION TH 55 is a primary transportation corridor linking the western communities in Wright County and Hennepin County to the Minneapolis/St. Paul Metropolitan area. In 2006 the corridor had an Average Daily Traffic (ADT) count of 9,400 in Annandale, 17,600 ADT in Buffalo, 21,600 ADT in Rockford, 30,500 ADT in Medina and 55,000 ADT in Plymouth. The increasing traffic and capacity needs are a growing concern to the communities along the corridor. Direct access to TH 55 and accidents along the corridor have raised the concern for the safety of everyone who uses the highway. MnDOT is currently faced with growing transportation needs throughout the state and decreasing transportation funding.

The need to plan for the future of TH 55 became prevalent in the early 2000’s when the formation of the TH 55 Corridor Coalition took place. The Coalition includes communities, businesses and individuals that have an interest in the corridor from Annandale to the connection with I-494 in Plymouth. The TH 55 Corridor Coalition’s primary mission is to secure right-of-way and related infrastructure improvements to: - Increase safety - Add capacity, including additional lanes, access control and transit service where appropriate

In 2003 the Coalition received its first significant contribution to the corridor when Congressman Mark Kennedy captured $1.5 million in federal funding. This funding was to be used for studies along the corridor and right-of-way acquisition. When congress passed the SAFETEA-LU legislation in 2005, an additional $4 million was secured for the corridor. This amount was later reduced to $3.4 million.

In 2006 the coalition solicited candidate projects from the cities along the corridor. The requests were evaluated and funding was provided to specific projects. The City of Medina received funding for the reconstruction of the TH 55/CR 116 intersection. Funding was allocated as follows: $680,000 in 2007 $130,000 in 2008 $430,000 in 2009 Total federal funding is $1,240,000.

Medina Project No: 000190-07012-0 Transportation Plan Page 15 MnDOT has also programmed $500,000 for safety improvements associated with the TH 55/CR 116 intersection reconstruction in the year 2010. It is anticipated that additional funding will be required to complete the project. This may include funding from other federal and state programs as well as county and city funds.

The City of Medina is leading the effort to move the TH 55/CR 116 intersection reconstruction project forward. A layout is being prepared that addresses the existing safety and capacity issues through the intersection. This concept is being developed to determine construction limits and ultimately the right-of- way requirements for the project. Upon completion of the layout, the intent is to begin using the federal funding to secure the required right-of-way. It is anticipated that the actual construction of the project will take place in 2009 to 2010.

In addition to the TH 55/CR 116 intersection, the City is also reviewing the intersection of TH 55 at CSAH 101 and TH 55 at CSAH 19. A concept was developed for the CSAH 101 intersection to provide a pedestrian over TH 55 and another one over CSAH 101. The City concluded that the cost of these concepts made them unfeasible as independent projects. The City decided that it is likely that a future roadway overpass may be provided over TH 55 at which time a pedestrian walkway would be provided along with the roadway . A concept for future reconstruction at CSAH 19 is still in development and it is anticipated that the concept will simply provide a general idea of what may be provided at CSAH 19 in the future. No funding is currently allocated for work at the CSAH 101 or CSAH 19 intersections.

In 2006 the TH 55 Corridor Coalition also began working on the corridor to look at an overall geometric concept and Environmental Assessment (EA) from the Crow River in Rockford to I-494 in Plymouth. This project will help define the future right-of-way needs for the corridor and allow the cities to preserve the necessary right-of-way as development occurs. The EA and geometric layout are scheduled for final approval in early 2008.

The TH 55 Corridor Coalition concept plan includes the following improvements to TH 55 through Medina. The concept plan is shown on Map 10. - Four-lane divided highway with drainage carried in ditches from Townline Road to the existing four- lane section east of Arrowhead Drive. - Six-lane divided highway with drainage carried in storm sewer from CR 116 to the east City border. - Direct access to TH 55 removed where alternative access can be provided to frontage roads and other local roadways. - Potential areas adjacent to the corridor for future water quality ponds to capture additional runoff from the expanded roadway surface. - Unsignalized full access intersection at Townline Road with the realignment of Townhall Drive in Greenfield to the north leg of Townline Road. - Existing Traffic signal at TH 55 and CSAH 19 with left and right turn lanes on TH 55. - Unsignalized intersection at Pioneer Trail. - Right-in-right-out access at Rolling Hills Road to the north and south (center median closed). - Right-in-right-out access at Wichita Trail to the south (center median closed).

Medina Project No: 000190-07012-0 Transportation Plan Page 16 - Existing traffic signal at TH 55 and Willow Drive with left and right turn lanes on TH 55. - Right-in-right-out access at Mohawk Drive to the north (center median closed). - Existing traffic signal at TH 55 and Arrowhead Drive with left and right turn lanes on TH 55. - Potential future at-grade intersection at TH 55 and Tamarack Drive. - Compressed at TH 55 at CR 116. - Compressed diamond interchange at TH 55 and CSAH 101.

The concepts developed within this corridor plan are a guide to help preserve future right-of-way along the corridor. Funding does not exist to construct any of the recommended improvements at this time. The funding for the CR 116 intersection is anticipated to provide improvement to the intersection to increase safety and add capacity. The initial project scheduled for construction in 2009 or 2010 will not include the compressed diamond interchange as shown on the TH 55 Corridor Coalition concept layout. Instead it will widen CR 116 to provide additional turn lanes to accommodate the high volume of traffic turning at this intersection during morning and afternoon peak commuting timeframes.

The Medina City Council approved a resolution on December 18, 2007 that endorses the recommended concept plan for Highway 55 that is documented in the TH 55 from Plymouth to Rockford EA/EAW, provided the following measures are addressed or implemented:

• To study the need for traffic signals at TH 55/Tamarack Drive, CSAH 116/Clydesdale Trail, and CR 101/Clydesdale Trail and to identify these intersections as a “Traffic Signal Study Area” on the concept plan.

• To study the need for removing the traffic signal at TH 55/Clydesdale Trail and to identify this intersection as a “Traffic Signal Removal Study Area” on the concept plan.

• To review and consider alternative locations and systems for stormwater ponding to mitigate adverse economic impacts on the Medina business community.

• To mitigate any negative environmental impact on Elm Creek.

• To study methods of lessening the impact on businesses on the TH 55 Corridor by the concept plan and consider ways to reduce the uncertainty for plans of construction to the TH 55 Corridor to take place as late as 2030.

• To ensure fair market value compensation at time of ROW taking is made and does not adversely effect the City’s approval of the TH 55 concept plan.

The transportation related comments above are reflected on Map 10.
