The impact of added traffic will be more evident on primarily the arterial and collector routes. However, failure to address capacity issues on major routes will result in more traffic diverting to local streets. This can result in safety, speed and other undesirable impacts to collector routes. In order to ensure that traffic concerns are addressed thoroughly and comprehensively, the transportation chapter of the Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan contains a planned and recommended roadway system for the year 2030. This system is the result of both current and past planning efforts including the 1980, 1991 and 1998 Comprehensive Plans, the Year 2005 Land Use and Transportation Study, the Highway 101 /5 Preliminary Alignment and Land Use Corridor Study, the Highway 5 Corridor Land Use Design Study, the 1990 Eastern Carver County Transportation Study (ECCTS), the 1998 Carver County Transportation Study and the 2007 Carver County Transportation Study. The following major improvements are components of the recommended and planned transportation system: 1. TH 5: The City will continue to work to get TH 5 improved west of TH 41. The current Carver County Transportation Plan indicates a need for 4 -lanes west to Waconia to accommodate traffic flows. 2. TH212. Construction of TH 212 along a new alignment was under consideration since the early 1950s. The project is a four -lane, limited access freeway. The project is scheduled to be completed to Carver in 2008. 3. TH 101: Planning efforts since 1980 have consistently identified the need for improvements to TH 101. Planned improvements north of TH 5 consist primarily of reconstruction and City of Chanhassen • 2030 Comprehensive Plan TRANSPORTATION 17 - 27 City of Chanhassen Functional Classification N Arterial Future Collector Collector Principle August 28, 2012 G:IENGIJoleenlPlanninglFunct ClassiAFunctional Classification 11x17 —d I Ft Min—M. o,un::ifp 111111 � '111111111�� II���In►��i Imp/ nudri l �' 1 dilly �7111►I`,'� �/ Mln.ewp / /1 ) landeope Ahpelm Minnesota Landscape Arboretum Neurt Plsene Pah Bluff Creek Golf Course Hesse Farm Preserve Of NINE , C /ligpG�Sn1i l� ►II o .. jj ... till e illl. .unu�_` Vv 2 Rkr lake 5 (Proposed spa < Minor Collector) D� Raguet Wildlife Management Area (WMA)
