Role of 25th Road in the Refined Concepts Challenges of utilizing 25th Road for truck access to the 26/OD site: • Problematic turning movements for larger trucks - based on current lane configurations and intersection geometry • Increase in traffic volume at un-signalized intersection (where queuing concerns have previously been raised) • Significant impact to single-family homes through intensified use of 25th Road
