DRAFT Purpose and Need

Purpose

The purposes of the proposed transportation improvements

in the SH 7 corridor from N. 75th Street to US 287 are to improve safety, reduce existing and future traffic congestion, and improve multimodal mobility and connectivity.

SLIDE 20

DRAFT Purpose and Need

Need

These transportation improvements are needed to address:

Safety Problems: There is a higher than expected number of rear‐end

crashes at several SH 7/N. 75th Street, SH 7/N. 95th Street, and SH 7/US 287 intersections along the corridor, primarily due to traffic congestion and queuing that occurs at these intersections.

Traffic Operational Problems: Traffic operations along the corridor and at

the SH 7/N. 95th Street and SH 7/US 287 intersections are inadequate today and are expected to worsen by 2040 along the corridor and at the SH 7/N. 75th Street, SH 7/95th Street, and SH 7/US 287 intersections due to local and regional population and employment growth.

SLIDE 21

DRAFT Purpose and Need

Need

Access Problems: Access as currently provided and designed

contributes to traffic operational and safety deficiencies in the corridor.

Alternative Travel Modes Problems: Infrastructure for and

connectivity among alternative travel modes (transit, bicyclist, and pedestrian) do not meet the existing or future (2040) needs

f the communities along SH 7.
