Home My WebLink About10.C.1 Authorize a Traffic Study for Eagle Creek Boulevard from marschall Road to Canterbury Road. Consent Business 10. C. 1. SHAKOPEE TO: Mayor and City Council Mark McNeill, City Administrator FROM: Bruce Loney, Public Works Director DATE: 11/19/2013 SUBJECT: Authorize a Traffic Study for Eagle Creek Boulevard from Marschall Road to Canterbury Road. (E) Action Sought Approve a motion authorizing the appropriate city officials to execute an extension agreement with WSB &Associates, Inc. for a traffic study on Eagle Creek Boulevard from Marschall Road to Canterbury Road. Background Eagle Creek Boulevard (formerly known as CR 16)was reconstructed to a four lane undivided urban roadway in 1996. In the 2014 CIP, a mill and overlay is programmed for this roadway. Staff has been monitoring this roadway the past year for speed, accidents and traffic volumes. With the pending overlay project, staff believes a traffic study should be done to see if the existing four lane configuration should be changed to a three lane roadway with a two-way left turn lane. Also the concept of a mini-roundabout at Eagle Creek Boulevard and Vierling Drive can be explored. This study would provide information on whether the improvements should be done now or in the future with commercial development in Canterbury Park or at CR 83 southeast quadrant. The study was introduced and discussed at the November 4, 2013 Traffic Safety Review Committee (TSRC). The committee was in favor in doing the study with concerns on emergency vehicles such as police and fire responding on this corridor. The results of this study would be brought back to the TSRC and to the police and fire on their concerns before bringing the study results to the Council. Recommendation The TSRC recommends moving forward with a study on the Eagle Creek Boulevard corridor. Budget Impact Cost of the study would be out of the Engineering Division Professional Services budget. Relationship to Vision This supports Goal E: Deliver effective and efficient public services by a staff of well-trained, caring and professional employees. Requested Action Approve a motion authorizing the appropriate city officials to execute an extension agreement with WSB &Associates, Inc. for a traffic study on Eagle Creek Boulevard from Marschall Road to Canterbury Road.

Bruce Loney, Public Works Director City of Shakopee 129 Holmes Street South Shakopee, MN 55379 Re: Proposal for Engineering Services Eagle Creek Boulevard-Marschall Road to Canterbury Road Dear Bruce, WSB &Associates, Inc. (WSB)is pleased to submit this proposal to provide professional engineering services to the City of Shakopee for Eagle Creek Boulevard from Marschall Road (CSAH 17) to Canterbury Road(CSAH 83). The proposed scope of services presented in this proposal is based on our understanding of the project and discussions with you. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING Existing Conditions: Currently, Eagle Creek Boulevard is a four-lane undivided section between Marschall Road and Canterbury Road(with the exception of a median and additional turn lanes at the Canterbury Road signal as well as a westbound right turn lane at the Seagate entrance). Posted speed is 50 mph. There are traffic signals at both Marschall Road and Canterbury Road, and a four-way stop at Vierling Drive. All other intersections are side street stop control. The corridor has varied land use, including commercial, multi-family residential and single-family residential, including several direct driveway accesses onto Eagle Creek Boulevard. Canterbury Park Race Track, located immediately north of Eagle Creek Boulevard and with direct access to Eagle Creek Boulevard via Vierling Drive, is contemplating significant additional development that will increase traffic. Last, Fire Station#1 is located just south of Eagle Creek Boulevard along Vierling Drive. Potential Issues: Accidents persist at the Vierling Drive four-way stop, likely due to the configuration and approach speeds. This intersection will likely see increased traffic due to Canterbury Park future development. While through traffic and emergency vehicles enjoy the benefit of the high posted speed, it is not consistent with single-family residential land uses and closely-spaced accesses, suggesting a potential for a safety and quality of life improvement by a reduced speed. Opportunity: The City is planning a mill and overlay project along Eagle Creek Boulevard in 2014. This already-planned and budgeted project presents the opportunity to potentially modify the existing four lane configuration to a three-lane section, along with modifying intersection control in order to improve the safety of the corridor. Further,the concept of mini-roundabouts Minneapolis a St.Cloud Equal Opportunity Employer Eagle Creek Boulevard Proposal City of Shakopee November 11,2013 Page 2 is being pursued within the City by Scott County at the intersection of Vierling Drive and CR 79, and could potentially be a solution for the Eagle Creek Boulevard/Vierling Drive intersection. PROJECT APPROACH/SCOPE OF SERVICES WSB's project scope and proposed work plan is based on our understanding of the project, discussions with City staff, and experience on similar projects. The following work tasks are anticipated as part of the study: Task 1 -Project Management and Meetings WSB's proposed project manager will direct traffic and transportation engineering staff in order to gather data,perform traffic analyses, and prepare technical documents. In addition, this task anticipates attending 2 meetings with City staff,one meeting with the Shakopee Traffic Safety Review Committee, and one meeting with City Council. Included in this task is WSB staff time to prepare exhibits and other meeting materials for use in communicating data and results of analysis. Last,this task includes all project communications and administrative tasks such as scheduling and invoicing. Task 2—Traffic Forecasting WSB will gather available data related to existing and future traffic volumes,tam movements, and accidents(including severity). For purposes of this proposal, it is assumed that traffic forecasts resulting from proposed development by Canterbury Park will be provided by the developer's traffic consultant. This information is anticipated to include forecast turn movements for both the Canterbury Road and Vierling Drive intersections. WSB will review the information provided,but does not anticipate a full traffic study review for the Canterbury Park site as part of this scope. WSB will prepare a schematic diagram indicating existing and future traffic volumes and peak hour turn movements for use in documentation and modeling. Task 3-Traffic Operations Modeling Based on the forecasted volumes and turn movements, WSB will prepare a traffic model of the no-build scenario for the corridor in order to convey the operations, delays and travel times associated with the future traffic on existing conditions. WSB will also model a 3-lane section with a mini-roundabout at Vierling Drive,including intersection-specific adjustments for turn lanes as necessary. The 3-lane model will also address the 4-lane to 3-lane transitions near Marschall Road and Canterbury Road. WSB will prepare tabulated operations data as well as a visual simulation for two scenarios: no-build(4-lane section)and 3-lane section Task 4—Schematic Layout Based on the selected alternative, WSB will prepare a schematic drawing over the top of aerial photography to provide a clear understanding of the key components and geometry of the selected alternative. In addition, a preliminary cost estimate will be prepared for budgeting purposes. Task 5—Technical Memorandum WSB will prepare a memorandum to summarize the analysis and recommendation, including results of forecasts and modeling. Advantages and disadvantages of a each potential section will be presented. Input received from meetings with staff, committee or council will also be presented, along with the schematic layout and estimate for the recommended alternative.
