Patriot Avenue is designated a <br /> Commercial street. The adjacent land uses are commercial, a City park, and a multi-use City building. <br /> There are no sidewalks along either side of Patriot Avenue creating a hostile environment for <br /> pedestrians. <br /> With the desire to keep heavy vehicle traffic on Patriot Avenue and not use alternate routes through <br /> Pequot Lakes,the Traffic Study did not recommend adding on-street parking on Patriot Avenue. Parking <br /> would cause more interruptions in the traffic flow and create a confined feel, negatively impacting how <br /> truck drivers view the corridor. <br /> Patriot Avenue and Front Street <br /> The intersection of Patriot Avenue and Front Street is under side-street control with Patriot Avenue <br /> free-flowing with a two-way left turn lane. This intersection is skewed with left turns off of Patriot <br /> Avenue and right turns off of Front Street being at very tight angles. Right turns off of Patriot Avenue <br /> and left turns off of Front Street are at very shallow angles. Vehicles turning right off of Patriot Avenue <br /> are able to make that turn without much speed reduction. <br /> The Traffic Study analyzed the traffic volumes at the intersection of Front Street and Patriot Avenue and <br /> found they are very low throughout the day. Because the intersection is not highly utilized and the <br /> angles lead to challenging or high speed turns, it could be considered for closure. Both the north and <br /> south legs have alternative routes within approximately 300 feet that could be taken, so there would be <br /> little impact to travel times. It is recommended that a temporary closure of the Front Street legs be <br /> ...- <br /> conducted. Using parries,the legs of Front Street can be temporarily closed and operations be <br /> monitored to determine how drivers adapt to the change. <br />
