Traffic Impact Study
Intersection Control Review Lake/Pitkin
Traffic Responsive Signal System

Likely EB and WB double lefts and

addition of bike and pedestrian
accommodations (review potential for
right turn islands and bike connectivity
to east).
For stadium impact, the most
prominent needed improvement is the
wide multi-use path on north side.
The largest needed item is the
protected bike lane.
Includes sidewalks on Whitcomb that
connect between Lake and Prospect
Road.
This is a system that will detect current
vehicular traffic patterns and adjust
signal timing on the fly as conditions
change.

Neighborhood Impacts Mitigation Recommendations:

Stadium Advisory Group

Mitigation

Description
Staff suggests that The University of Minnesota District
Partnership be used as a model for developing a Stadium
Advisory Group and a Good Neighbor Fund.
Staff further recommends that the Stadium Advisory Group form
a committee to administer a Good Neighbor Fund to enhance
and protect the beauty, serenity and security of the
neighborhoods impacted by the operation of a CSU on-campus
Stadium.

Neighborhood Mitigation Good Neighbor Fund

Noise

Raise South Wall Raising the wall at the south end of the stadium so that when
combined with the scoreboard, there is a more effective mass
capable of lowering the off-site decibels impacting the R-L zone
district to the south.
Perform Sound Measurement Analysis at Hughes Stadium Field test could use real-time sound measurements during actual
football games at distances that approximate the distance from
the south end of the proposed on-campus stadium to the
nearest residential property lines zoned R-L.
Limit the number of concerts per year
Establish a time certain conclusion for concerts
Concerts held only by granting of special use permit or MOU
Preliminary coordination with concert sound company Discuss speaker orientation and sound monitoring techniques
Lighting
Provide an Illumination plan Provide a point by point illumination plan (photometric diagram)
showing the foot-candles at regular intervals as a result of all
lighting sources, not just the sports lighting.
Reduce south end light impacts Reduce the light impact on the H-M-N zone to the south of the
Stadium or provide massing to block the line-of-sight of the light
sources.

Environmental Mitigation Recommendations:

Mitigation: Design Phase
Description
Conduct an air quality analysis Address ozone formation in the ozone non-attainment area,
Carbon monoxide (CO) hot spots, and diesel particulate matter
emissions, and use the results to inform street design, optimal
traffic flow patterns and infrastructure design for alternative
modes of transportation.
Support a green built environment Develop restorative, regenerative, and sustainable practices
Maximize deconstruction practices
Reuse and recycle construction waste
Incorporate energy efficiency into stadium design and operation
Maximize use of low impact design principles
Design for low water use and treatment; use of gray water
Optimize building operation and maintenance for sustainability
Mitigation: Construction Phase
Description
Prohibit unnecessary vehicle idling
Equip vehicles with auxiliary power units
Use ultra-low sulfur diesel or bio-diesel fuels
Reduce air emissions from asphalt paving Discontinue paving operations on high ozone days, conduct
paving operations at night, use alternative materials such as
gravel, concrete, warm mix asphalt and use pervious pavement
or pavers
Spray materials should be avoided
Low or no Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) materials should be
utilized.
A dust control plan incorporating best management practices
should be utilized.
Climate Action and Adaptation Impacts
CSU should estimate emission from new construction and
determine strategies to offset these emissions.
CSU should determine the impact to increased GHG emission to
GHG emission reduction goals established by the City and
determine strategies to offset.
CSU should determine impact to the citys Climate Action Plan
and Road to Zero Waste Plan, analyze the carbon footprint for
the estimated life of a new stadium and determine strategies to
offset emissions.
CSU should consider incorporating into the design the ability to
use the facility as a respite center for extreme heat, flood or fire
episodes.
CSU should explore innovative ways for the new stadium and/or
existing Hughes stadium to be utilized for carbon sequestration.
