ANOKA COUNTY 2030 TRANSPORTATION PLAN 9-1 DECEMBER 2008 9.0 Results: 2030 Transportation Implementation Plan 9.1 Setting Project and Funding Priorities The technical and statistical information developed and analyzed by this Plan leads directly to recommended implementation plans for short-term (2009-2015), mid-term (2015-2020), and long-term (2020-2030) improvements as described in Section 7. These recommendations focus on the County’s mobility-impaired corridors projected to experience the most significant operation and safety issues in the 2030 forecast year. Section 7 also draws attention to the interrelationships between planning work undertaken by independent partner entities such as the Metropolitan Council and Mn/DOT. It is not coincidental that nearly all of the mobility impaired corridors identified in the 2030 Plan by Anoka County also appear as proposed transitways in the Metropolitan Council’s 2030 Transportation Policy Plan. Ongoing transit planning at both the regional and county level informs the evaluation of alternative approaches to the congestion problems in those key corridors, benefitting both county facilities and the regional transit system. The Plan also highlights the presence of heavy roadway freight movements in the congested portions of the TH 10/CSAH 1 corridor between Coon Rapids and I-694. Significant commerce moves by truck and rail within this corridor, supporting the Plan recommendation that TH 47—planned for turnback to Anoka County south of I-694—and CSAH 1 be designated and authorized for separate funding as freight corridors. 9.1.1 Project Priorities Because each of the areas highlighted in the 2030 Plan both affects and is affected by parallel facilities and concurrent activities by other entities and agency partners, the Plan recommends corridor or sub-area studies in most cases. Each should be undertaken with full cognizance of interrelationships, and full participation by stakeholders, as is the County’s practice. Corridor and sub-area studies will be tasked with collecting and analyzing the best information available at that point in time, including the findings of this Plan, the local community’s plan, and regional plans, with specific awareness of identified problems. With this background assembled, the next tasks would be to assess the improvements needed within the context of the city or township, within the county highway and transit system, within the regional highway and transit system, and with full recognition of the needs of the surrounding residents and business community. The list of specific improvements will include those listed in Chapter 7; however, the mode(s) involved (bus or rail transit, freight, bike and pedestrian), and the issue(s) being addressed (safety, capacity, mobility, etc.) will help identify individual projects. By identifying the individual projects to be completed within the corridor or sub-area, funding issues can be evaluated and then leveraged to the best advantage of the County. ---PAGE BREAK--- ANOKA COUNTY 2030 TRANSPORTATION PLAN 9-2 DECEMBER 2008 9.1.2 Funding Priorities The County’s implementation program will be fiscally strategic, maintaining the ability to flex with shifts in funding opportunities. While it would be ideal if the various needs defined in Chapter 7 and further developed through corridor and sub-area studies had recognizable and abundant funding sources, the transportation funding situation is anything but ideal. As discussed in Chapter 8, funding sources are inadequate to meet the needs for identified transportation improvements. In addition, many of these funding sources are random and unstable. While the county property tax levy can reasonably be expected to be stable in its base amount and growth factors, other funding sources fluctuate. When funding sources fluctuate based on policy changes, particularly at the national level, new funding opportunities often present themselves. An example of this is the current focus on safety in all parts of the transportation industry. One recent project the County funded in this manner was a series of driver feedback signs that were part of the “Safe Routes to School” program implemented nationally. When the funding became available, the County Highway Department was ready with a set of projects that fit the requirements of school safety, and built 15 sets of the driver feedback signs in school districts throughout the county. Policy changes at a state level have also provided unexpected transportation funding opportunities for the County. After many years of no change in the funding formulas for state transportation funding, the local transportation community has been surprised by several recent events, including: Bonding funds became available for major safety projects, providing the final piece of funding for the TH 65/CSAH 14 (Main Street/125th Avenue NE) in Blaine, one of the highest crash locations in Minnesota (temporary funding source) The 2008 Minnesota Legislature raised the gas tax, providing more funding for roadway and transit improvements (permanent funding source) Other shifts which affected funding included: The national and local economies slowed, resulting in lower bids for construction projects by contractors To spur the national and local economies, the federal government offered “stimulus funds” for various transportation projects In summary, while the safety, capacity and mobility improvements needed by 2030 have been identified and prioritized in this Plan, it is not possible to definitively predict the funding sources necessary for their implementation. Therefore, Anoka County will continue to work with its constituents and partners to identify its transportation system needs, while remaining flexible enough to leverage any and all funding sources which present themselves over the coming years. ---PAGE BREAK--- ANOKA COUNTY 2030 TRANSPORTATION PLAN Table 9-1 Short-Term Improvements (2009 – 2015) Corridor/Sub-Area Studies (see Section 7.0, Evaluation Process & Recommendations) Roadway From To Comment CSAH 1 Coon Rapids Boulevard CSAH 7, Anoka CSAH 3, Coon Rapids Address access management, safety, capacity and transit.
