| 摘要： | Scott County, MN, USA, in coordination with the City of Prior Lake and Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), established and implemented corridor improvements for County Road (CR) 21 and State Highway (Hwy) 13 in Downtown Prior Lake. The intersection and adjacent corridor had been identified as needing improvement due to mobility and safety concerns associated with existing and forecasted traffic. The project evaluated potential improvements to intersections in close proximity to the CR 21/Hwy 13 intersection, in particular CR 21/Main Avenue. It also considered traffic impacts on surrounding streets, including impacts on pedestrian safety and accessibility. Efforts were focused on Downtown Prior Lake, with corridor visioning for the longer segment of CR 21 from CH82/154th Street to Franklin Trail. The Corridor Visioning Study helped identify how the intersection reconstruction project holistically fit into the future vision of the corridor and its surroundings. The ultimate configuration was a 3/4 access intersection at Duluth Avenue, a roundabout at Arcadia Avenue, followed by a 3/4 access intersection at Main Avenue, and finally a roundabout at Hwy 13. This configuration improved traffic movement and safety alike. The two roundabouts prior to entering the Main Avenue intersection from both directions slow drivers through the heavily-traveled area of pedestrians and bicyclists. The improved downtown aesthetics created a sense of destination when traveling between the roundabouts. |
