Ramsey should identify existing transit service (available on the Council's website) and desired future transit service options consistent with the Transportation Policy Plan's transit system service areas (Table 4-1 and Appendix M). Currently, there is no regular route transit service existing in the city. Rural dial-a-ride service is provided by Anoka County Traveler and Anoka County Volunteer. Ramsey should list transit corridors (express commuter bus corridors and dedicated right-of.;.way corridors) and identify opportunities to promote higher density initiatives along dedicated transit corridors (see Figure 4-2). Ramsey is located along the Northstar Commuter Rail Line. Ramsey should identify existing transit passenger and support facilities and future improvements to and expansion of these facilities. Passenger and support facilities include shelters, transit centers, stations, and park-and-ride lots. A park-and-ride facility are planned in Ramsey along the Northstar Commuter Rail Line. . 3. Aviation Plan and Facilities The TPP/APP includes policies and text on protection of the region's airspace resources. The airspace policy states that both Federal Aviation administration (FAA) and MnDOT Aeronautics safety standards must bea major consideration in the planning, design, maintenance and operation of air transportation facilities and services. There are no existing or planned aviation facilities within Ramsey. However, each community has a responsibility to include airspace protection in its comprehensive plan. The protection is for potential hazards to air navigation including electronic interference: Airspace protection should be included in local . . codes/ordinances to control height of structures, especially when conditional use permits would apply. The comprehensive plan should include policy/text on notification to the FAA as defmed under code of federal regulations CFR - Part 77, using the FAA Form 7460-1 "Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration". Instructions can be found at www.faa.gov/am/ace/part77 .cfm. Flying in the metro region involves all types of aircraft including amphibian and float-equipped planes. Communities should recognize, for purposes of safe use of surface waters and compatible land use, that certain public waters within the seven-county metro area are designated by MnDOT Aeronautics as permitted seaplane use areas under state Rules.
