ANOKA COUNTY 2030 TRANSPORTATION PLAN DECEMBER 2008 7-1 7.0 Evaluation Process and Recommendations 7.1 Independent Evaluations Development of this Plan began with documentation of existing conditions, including deficiencies, on the county transportation system (documented in Section 3.0). From there, Plan development continued with completion of independent analyses that examined safety, projected travel demand in 2030, and analyzed traffic control needs at intersections. Each of these analyses is described below: Section 4.0, County Safety Analysis—Safety on the county roadway network at a strategic planning level was an initial focus. An overall safety goal for the county was identified, followed by identifying critical emphasis areas and strategies to address both infrastructure-based and driver-behavior-based issues. Section 5.0, Travel Demand Analysis—2030 travel demand was projected using the 2006 Anoka County model with county traffic analysis zones, and the Metropolitan Council's demographic projections for local communities.1 The analysis then identified current conditions for which data was readily available (year 2000). A final series of model runs identified the additional capacity needed under worst-case conditions (2030 PM peak period), to hold 2030 traffic congestion to year 2000 levels. (Congestion was measured during the PM peak hour in 2000 and in 2030 for consistency). The analysis identified year 2000 levels of service (LOS). For locations where 2000 LOS was not an issue and not projected to exceed the D/E boundary in 2030, capacity improvements were not assumed. Section 6.0, Traffic Control Modifications—Analysis of traffic control encompassed the evaluation of existing and potential interchange locations, the potential for conversion of lower-volume roads to roundabouts, and existing and proposed traffic signal locations. This section documents the process of compiling or “layering” the three analyses described above to develop a list of recommendations aimed at addressing safety and capacity issues on the Anoka County transportation system. This section also recommends improvements that were identified through the layering process that are aimed at creating a more complete transportation system. As described below, Section 8.0 will build on this section by documenting the analysis of the recommendations made in this section: Section 8.0, Financial Analysis—The county's financial resources and available funding tools were identified, then matched against the short-, mid-, and long-term Plan recommendations. Potential new uses and sources of funds were identified, evaluated, and the recommended improvements phased to correspond to their funding feasibility. 1 Travel demand was modeled under two alternative conditions: 1) included implementation of Mn/DOT's high-priority Interregional Corridor (IRC) recommendations for US Highway 10 and Interstate 35, and 2) did not include implementation of the IRC's. ---PAGE BREAK--- ANOKA COUNTY 2030 TRANSPORTATION PLAN DECEMBER 2008 7-2 7.2 Identification of Mobility-Impaired Corridors Figure 5-2 documents corridors that were identified as being problem mobility corridors in 2030, based on the travel demand analysis completed for this Plan. As shown on this figure, the relative mobility challenges for each corridor were also identified—as high, medium, or low. Table 7-1 lists the 18 mobility-impaired corridors/areas by high, medium, or low relative capacity needs. The relative mobility needs of the 19 corridors/areas were then categorized into four geographic areas of Anoka County: 1) southern, 2) west central, 3) east central, and 4) northern. The area in which each corridor/area is located is also provided Table 7-1. Recommendations for each of the corridors listed below are provided in Section 7.4. These recommendations are aimed at mobility, safety, and other areas of concern that were identified through the layered analysis, which is described below in Section 7.3.

The 18 corridors identified in Figure 5-2 and Table 7-1 were used as the basis for this layered analysis. In several instances, roadways which are anticipated to experience mobility impairment by 2030 were also found to have other problems, including safety. The transportation improvements recommended in this Plan are aimed at comprehensively addressing the issues identified through this approach. The recommendations discussed in this section also include recommendations for the timing of specific corridor-related actions through 2030. 7.3.2 Documentation of Existing Conditions A worksheet was developed to capture information about existing and future conditions. This information assisted in formulating recommendations for corridor-specific improvements. Worksheets for each individual corridor studied are included in Appendix F. Existing conditions information for each corridor was categorized and defined as follows: TABLE 7-2 Existing Conditions Category Corridor Characteristics Travel Demand Traffic volumes (considered for 2030 conditions, with and without IRC improvements) Relative capacity needs (identified and documented in the 2030 travel demand analysis) Potential for change in future capacity needs if IRC improvements were to be implemented Existing Conditions— Roadway Traffic volumes Corridor geometry (divided or undivided; number of lanes) Functional roadway classification Available opportunities for routes parallel to the corridor being considered—existing or new Existing Conditions— Roadway safety Existence of high incident crash locations 10 between 2002–2006) Documented safety issue by local community Existing Conditions—Transit Transit routes using corridor, and any planned transit that would affect corridor Shoulder bus lanes Park-and-ride facilities Existing Conditions— Bicycle/Pedestrian Pedestrian and/or bicycle routes along, or in close proximity to the corridor Ability of nearby trails to connect with recreational or other facilities Existing Conditions—Other Availability of right-of-way Environmental feasibility, or feasibility of improving corridor along existing alignment given environmental and/or community conditions ---PAGE BREAK--- ANOKA COUNTY 2030 TRANSPORTATION PLAN DECEMBER 2008 7-4 7.3.3 Developing Recommendations After identifying existing deficiencies and expected mobility deficiencies in the year 2030, options were identified to improve performance on the 18 mobility-impaired corridors identified above. The county recognized that improving mobility of these corridors would require consideration of more options than expansion given environmental, community, and financial constraints associated with highway widening projects. As documented in Section 6.0, the county analyzed intersections and developed intersection improvement recommendations to address mobility, operational, and safety issues. Also considered were opportunities for expanding or improving routes that run parallel to the 18 mobility-impaired routes; implementing the recommendations from Mn/DOT’s Interregional Corridor Studies for high- and medium-priority corridors; and improving transit and trail systems in the county as options for addressing mobility issues. A package of transportation improvements—including specific highway corridor improvements and transit and trail enhancements—was developed to address conditions projected in 2030. Table 7-3 describes the types of recommendations considered. TABLE 7-3 Types of Corridor-Specific Recommendations through 2030 Category Recommendations Corridor Capacity Improve existing county arterial with lane additions Parallel Routes Expand existing or build new parallel routes to relieve year 2030 congestion on main arterial corridor facility Intersections/Interchanges Intersection improvements, including: 1) new or upgraded interchange; 2) grade separation; 3) adding a traffic signal; or 4) removing a traffic signal Functional Classification Change the category of the road to more accurately reflect its future function, e.g., mobility, capacity, connectivity, and land access functions Jurisdictional Changes Shift ownership and responsibility for a road to the most appropriate agency given the road’s future function, e.g., turn-back corridor to local communities, or turn-up corridor to Mn/DOT Transit Transit improvements to improve travel choices and alleviate highway capacity demand Trails Trail improvements to improve connections to and within the county’s transportation system Corridor Study Complete a corridor study for detailed analysis with local stakeholder participation Implementation phasing (short-, mid-, or long-term) Recommend implementation based on conditions including funding feasibility for the corridor in the short-, mid-, and long-term Recommendations to address congestion on the 18 mobility-impaired corridors were initially included on the same worksheet used to document existing conditions (see Appendix Final recommendations for each corridor are included in the next section. ---PAGE BREAK--- ANOKA COUNTY 2030 TRANSPORTATION PLAN DECEMBER 2008 7-5 7.4 Corridor-Specific Recommendations This section summarizes the recommendations for each corridor/area, as well as the suggested timing for each of the recommendations—short-, mid-, or long-term. All of the Anoka County roadway improvement recommendations are shown on Figure 7-1. As discussed in Section 7.2, the year 2030 problem mobility corridors were grouped into geographic areas: 1) southern, 2) west central, 3) east central, and 4) northern geographic areas of the county for the layered analysis. Figures 7-2 through 7-5 show the recommended improvements for these geographic areas. Recommendations for geographic areas were grouped together since recommendations for one corridor also may impact other corridors. Generally, recommendations are focused on alleviating congested conditions. While carrying out the layered analysis, the planning team recognized that the overall transportation system would benefit significantly by improving additional roadway connections in several locations throughout the county. These recommended connection improvements are also shown on Figure 7-1. 7.4.1 Area 1 (Southern Anoka County) Recommendations Figure 7-2 illustrates Area 1, in the southern part of Anoka County. As documented in Section 1.0, the southern part of the county is characterized by more concentrated population and intense land uses than in the northern part of the county. This “funnel” part of the county is closest in proximity to major employment centers located in Hennepin and Ramsey Counties. The travel demand analysis identified the five corridors listed below that will lack capacity to adequately meet demand by 2030: CSAH 1/East River Road: CR 3 to I-694 CSAH 1/Coon Rapids Boulevard: CSAH 9/Round Lake Boulevard to CSAH 10 CSAH 10: TH 47 to Ramsey County Line CSAH 11/Foley Boulevard: CSAH 1/East River Road to CSAH 12/Northdale Boulevard CSAH 51/University Avenue: CSAH 10 to CSAH 14/Main Street Tables 7-4 through 7-8 document the recommendations to meet this unmet demand. Implementation of improvements recommended for US 10, a high-priority IRC, would likely reduce the level of improvements needed for the county highways in the southern part of Anoka County. The corridor study conducted on TH 65 also identified needed improvements from CSAH 116/Bunker Lake Boulevard to US 10. These recommended improvements demonstrated improved mobility and safety along the corridor, especially at intersections with county roads (CSAH 116/Bunker Lake Boulevard, CSAH 14/Main Street/125th Street NE, CSAH 12/109th Avenue, and CR 87/105th Avenue). However, Mn/DOT has no funding programmed to implement these improvements. Recommendations for CSAH 1 (both East River Road and Coon Rapids Boulevard) are made, in part, to meet the capacity needs on US 10. Recommendations for CSAH 51/ University Avenue throughout most of the county (included in Areas 1, 2, and 4) would improve the existing and anticipated conditions on TH 65. ---PAGE BREAK--- 35W Nowthen Oak Grove East Bethel Linwood Columbus Ham Lake Andover Ramsey Blaine Coon Rapids Anoka Centerville Fridley Columbia Heights St. Francis 694 35W 35E 35 Hilltop Lexington Circle Pines Lino Lakes Hennepin County Wright County Sherburne County Chisago County Washington County MAIN ST NW VIKING BLV D N E ELM S T 181ST AVE NW LAKE D R 237TH AVE N W MAIN ST NE VIKING B LVD N W CROSST O WN B LVD NE LEXINGTON AVE NE 173RD AVE NW COON RAPIDS BLV D N W BROADWAY AVE NE 1 09TH AVE NE 125TH AVE NE 221ST AVE NE VERDIN ST NW BIRCH ST 23 7 T H A VE NE DURAN T ST NE ASH ST 229TH AVE NE B UNK E R L AK E BLV D N W C RO S S T OWN BL V D N W 7TH AVE 2 0 T H AVE S 7TH AVE NW CL EA R Y RD NW POTOMAC ST NE L A KE GE O R G E B LVD NW BAUGH ST NW 35 9 116 7 23 58 2 34 32 85 18 56 83 17 23 28 36 21 62 22 78 26 24 5 12 20 22 1 24 22 116 11 13 49 6 18 51 17 1 54 1 14 18 8 78 70 53 89 72 77 65 163 52 75 86 66 60 27 61 87 68 15 57 74 132 79 103 64 73 76 71 63 16 47 65 65 610 47 47 10 10 10 10 10 10 169 Figure 7-1 ANOKA COUNTY 2030 TRANSPORTATION PLAN 1 inch = 3 miles 0 3 6 1.5 Miles Last Updated: 08/18/2009 Problem Mobility Corridors and Proposed Improvements Local Roads Interstates US Highways State Highways County State Aid Highways (CSAH) County Roads Legend Grade-Separated Intersection New Interchange Upgrade Existing Interchange Recommended Capacity Improvements New Road Recommended Intersection Improvements Expand Road Recommended Connections New Road St. Francis Sub-Area West Central Sub-Area 4 17 19 21 20 5 14 10 13 11 12 9 7 6 5 18 4 1 2 3 8 = Recommended New Road Improvements, (also see Table 7-22) xx East Central Sub-Area Ongoing or planned corridor studies in this area replace the need for a separate sub-area study, as recommended in other parts of the county. ---PAGE BREAK--- Area 1 (Southern Anoka County) Recommended Improvements ANOKA COUNTY 2030 TRANSPORTATION PLAN Mississippi River 694 Hilltop MAIN ST 113th AVE EGRET BLVD Blaine Columbia Heights Coon Rapids Fridley Hilltop Spring Lake Park Anoka Anoka County/Blaine Airport Hennepin County Ramsey County HANS ON BLV D N W 109TH AVE NE COUNTY RO AD 10 85TH AVE NW COON RAPIDS B LVD N W NORTHDA L E BLVD NW 101ST AVE NE E AST R IVER RD NW RIV E R RD E MAIN ST NW 49TH A VE NE MAIN ST E 40TH AVE NE FOLEY B L V D NW UNIVERSITY AVE NE 5TH AVE R ADISSON R D N E 11 7 8 3 78 52 35 2 14 12 4 32 10 6 18 51 1 1 132 106 108 87 102 65 610 47 65 10 10 10 R u m R i v e r Ri c e Cr ee k Coon Creek Trail Trail Anoka County Mississippi River Trail Elm Creek Trail Rice Creek West Trail Trail Bunker Hills Rice Creek Chai of Lakes Trai Anoka County Mississippi River Trail 0 1.25 2.5 0.625 Miles 1 inch = 1.25 miles Legend Source: Independent travel demand, safety, and intersection analyses completed for the 2030 Anoka County Transportation Plan (see Sections 4, 5, and 6, as well as corresponding appendices of the Plan).

For the purposes of this Plan, the sub-area study will be referred to as the West Central Sub-area Study (WCSS). Also, as noted above, recommendations for CSAH 51/University Avenue throughout most of the county (included in Areas 1, 2, and 4) would alleviate congestion on TH 65.

Transit N/A Trails N/A 7.4.3 Area 3 (East Central Anoka County) Recommendations The I-35 East and West corridors and county highways are constrained by environmental features, including the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes, the Carlos Avery Wildlife Management Area (WMA), and the Lamprey Pass WMA (see Figure 7-4). As a result, this part of the county lacks enough contiguous north-south and east-west roads to meet demand. Transportation options available to address these mobility issues are limited. The travel demand analysis identified five corridors in Area 3 that lack capacity to adequately meet demand by 2030; these are: CSAH 17/Lexington Avenue: CSAH 23/Lake Drive to CSAH 14/125th Avenue CSAH 23/Lake Drive: I-35W to CSAH 49/CR 10/101st Avenue CSAH 52/Radisson Road: I-35W to CR 61/153rd Avenue CSAH 14/Main Street: I-35E to CSAH 21/20th Avenue CSAH 18/Broadway Avenue: CSAH 17/Lexington Avenue to CR 19/Potomac Street Given the interconnectedness of these roadways—meaning that anything that happens on one corridor will likely impact the other corridors—completion of a sub-area study is being recommended to address issues on the four roadways listed above, as well as CSAH 18/ Broadway Avenue. For the purposes of this Plan, the sub-area study will be referred to as the East Central Sub-area Study (ECSS). ---PAGE BREAK--- Figure 7-4 ANOKA COUNTY 2030 TRANSPORTATION PLAN 35W 35W 35E 35 117TH AVE Anoka County/Blaine Airport Carlos Avery WMA Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Lamprey Pass WMA Ramsey County KETTL E RIVER B L V D NE 85TH AVE NE A P O LL O D R HOD G SON RD CENTERVILLE RD POTOMAC ST NE XYLITE ST NE L A K E DR NORTH R D 153RD AVE NE C RO SSTOWN BLVD NE L A KE DR NE MAIN ST ELM ST BROADWAY AVE NE 109TH AVE NE 125TH AVE NE RADISSON RD NE CO NSTANCE BLVD NE LILAC ST LOVELL RD BIRCH ST B U N K E R LAKE BLVD NE FRE EWA Y DR W ASH ST C O U NTY ROAD 52 NAPLES ST NE LEXINGTON AVE NE 20TH AVE N R ic e C r e e k Lamprey Pass WMA Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Carlos Avery WMA 34 18 32 21 18 17 23 12 1 54 49 10 14 17 116 62 52 23 Blaine Centerville Circle Pines Columbus Ham Lake Lexington Lino Lakes Lake Park 60 61 87 16 53 84 19 153 140 68 Central Anoka County Trail Chain of Lakes - Bald Eagle Trail Trail Bunker Hills - Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Trail Trail East Anoka County Trail Trail East Anoka County Trail Central Anoka County Trail East Anoka County Trail 65 10 0 1.25 2.5 0.625 Miles 1 inch = 1.25 miles Source: Independent travel demand, safety, and intersection analyses completed for the 2030 Anoka County Transportation Plan (see Sections 4, 5, and 6, as well as corresponding appendices of the Plan).

Long-term Recommendations (2020–2030) Implement reconstruction recommended in the St. Francis Area Study, including roadway upgrades and potentially a new Rum River bridge. Transit Include special consideration of school bus operations in the St. Francis Area Study. Trails Consider opportunities to connect with the proposed Rum River Regional Trail and the North Anoka County Regional Trail. ---PAGE BREAK--- ANOKA COUNTY 2030 TRANSPORTATION PLAN DECEMBER 2008 7-29 7.5 Proposed New Roadway Connections, Jurisdictional Changes and Functional Classification Changes 7.5.1 Proposed New Roadway Connections Section 7.4 includes transportation system recommendations for Anoka County, including new roadway connections that would address capacity issues identified within the southern two-thirds of the county. This plan also includes recommendations for additional roadways within Area 4 (Northern Anoka County) that the planning team recognized as beneficial to the system. These new roadways would improve access and indirectly address congestion by providing straightforward connections within the county system by removing jogs in the roadways and creating complete continuous east/west or north/south county roads. Because these roadway connections are not directly related to capacity issues, they are not specifically addressed in Section 7.4. All proposed new roadway connections, regardless of function, are listed in Table 7-22 and are shown in Figures 7-1 and 7-5. ---PAGE BREAK--- ANOKA COUNTY 2030 TRANSPORTATION PLAN DECEMBER 2008 7-30 TABLE 7-22 All Proposed New Roadway Connections Proposed New Roadway From (City) To (City) Functional Classification Comments Area 1—No New Proposed Roadways Area 2 1) CR 58/181st Ave. Extension of 181st Ave. (Andover, Oak Grove) CR 64 and CSAH 5 intersection (Nowthen) A minor expander 2-lane, New connection would require a new Rum River bridge crossing 2) CSAH 20/157th St./161st St. CR 59/Verdin St. (Andover) CSAH 9/Round Lake Blvd. (Andover) B minor Construct new roadway connection to remove jog on CSAH 9/Round Lake Blvd. (see Figure 7-3 and Table 7- 3) CR 59/Verdin St. Existing southern limit of CR 59 at CSAH 20/161st Ave. (Andover) Intersection of CR 18/Crosstown Blvd and Verdin St. (Andover) A minor expander Construct new connection between CR 18/Verdin St. intersection to CR 59/Verdin St. (parallel relief to both CSAH 9/Round Lake Blvd. and CSAH 78/Hanson Blvd.) (see Figure 7-3 and Table 7-9). 4) CSAH 58/177th Ave. Intersection of CR 58 and CR 67 (Andover) Intersection of CR 58 and CSAH 18/Crosstown Blvd. (Ham Lake) Major collector 2-lane, removes jog between CSAH 18 and CSAH 58/181st Ave. 5) CSAH 51/University Ave. CSAH 14/Main St (Coon Rapids, Blaine) CSAH 13/229th Ave, St. (Francis, East Bethel, Oak Grove) A minor reliever: CSAH 14 to CSAH 116; A minor expander: CSAH 116 to CSAH 22; A minor connector: CSAH 22 to CSAH 13 Extension of CSAH 51/University Ave. from its current northern limit at CSAH 14/Main St. to CSAH 13/229th Ave. (see Figure 7-3 and Table 7-11).
