Forecast of Development
The metro population forecasts for Eden Prairie may be slightly
• high however the year 2000 is difficult to predict. The employ-
ment projected at 22,000 jobs might be slightly low if the MCA

Re-.olution No. 1133
-Future Capacity Deficiencies
The existing roadway network does not reflect Schooner Boulevard around
the Eden Prairie Center . The short length of Co. Rd. 39 from Co. Rd. 60
to I-494 is over loaded but not from 494 to 212. I can not understand
this projection.
The roads with capacity deficiencies given a city population of 46,000 and
employment of 22,000 on the current 1976 road system -does not seem to
totally reflect the problem. Today the City has 9,100 people ( Oct.75
census ) and really development is just beginning . Can Eden Prairie
in 2000 expect to handle a population the size of '. Edina on Eden
Prairie's 1976 _road system ?
I can not convince myself that -it is possible.
Figure F illustrates areas where capacity deficiencies would seem to
develop -given the expected development.

Resolution No. 1133 -S-
Definition of Alternative Roadway Systems
Test System A.
1. Dell Road extension-to T.H. 169 would be very difficult"and if such
a connection were made the terrain might not permit 5,000 trips/day.
Because of the real world circumstances perhaps less volume should
be indicated and the remainder shifted to Co. Rd. 1 .
L
2. Realignment of Co. -Rd. 1 and the N/S parkway would be illustrated
differently because of the Riley Lake Regional Park and Carver County
Transportation plans.
3. Valley View Road is proposed to take a new alignment through the
Smetana Lake Sector. The new street would serve heavy industrial
traffic keeping existing Valley View Road as a municipal residential
street.
4. Current M.H.D. preliminary design plans for 212 indicates substantial
upgrading of Co. Rd. 4 south of. T.H. 5 to the 212/4" interchange .
• The M.H.D. plan reflects a heavy traffic load changing from T.H. 5
to 212 at the Co. Rd. 4 interchange.
5. Systems A and B illustrate T.H. 5 connection-with 212 at the Ring
Road interchange . This is not the City or M.H.D. plan rather T.H. 5
would terminate at the Ring Road
6. The Ring Road ( Schooner Boulevard ) volumes for the year -2000 are in
my opinion very low. For example , the Ring Road will serve about
1,000 acres of commercial/industrial/high density housing areas .
Projections made by Barton Aschman and HNTB indicate traffic volumes
2 to 4 times those indicated.
As you know the Ring Road is a unique collector/distributor system
that links the Major Center Area with I -494, U.S. 212/169 and
surrounding residential areas. Because of the Ring Road's design
and restricted freeway access most of the regional trips to the MCA
must use the Ring Road. Also, some Eden Prairie residential areas
will utilize the Ring Road for access to their own neighborhoods such
as The Preserve and Edenvale. The Smetana Lake industrial sector will
have 1/3 of its freeway access from the Ring Road.
In short. the projections of 1,000 , 1,500 , and 6,000 ADT's for
Eden Prairie's Ring Road are very,very low given the existing
and proposed land use in the MCA.'
I am concerned that such figures may prove grossly inaccurate and
may hinder completion of the Ring Road system.
Resolution No. 1133 -9-
7. The route of Co. Rd. 39- most likely will be relocated to connect
with the Ring Road as an extension of Valley View Road.
8. City projections of -traffic for the Lake Smetana Industrial Sector
indicate substantially higher volumes on the extension of Shady Oak
Road.

Evaluation and Recommun.,'.: . ions
I would_ agree with your recommended F.G.S.figure 1-14 and the proposed
J.C.S. figure 1-15. Eden Prairie is developing a definite collector/
arterial system without numerous through streets. Richfield and `
Bloomington reflect a grid street pattern that allows dispersal of traffic
on many alternative routes. Because of the residential development which
Eden Prairie encourages ; the collector system will be the major entrance/
exit from residential areas. Similarly , the Major Center Area is served
primarily by the Ring Road ( Schooner Boulevard ) which will provide the
major access to the freeway system.
