<br />TH 47 Transportation Analysis <br />Public Meeting Comments <br />August 24, 2006 <br />Lord of Life, Ramsey, MN <br /> <br />Below are the comments received at the public meeting on August 24, 2006. Comments <br />include those received at the meeting and those sent via mail or email. Comments in <br />italics were received after the September PMT Meeting. <br /> <br />Alh!nments <br /> <br />Change TH 47 to four-lanes to 16ih Avenue. <br /> <br />Expand TH 47 tofour lanes through Anoka and probably Ramsey. <br /> <br />Try and have more divided medians, cemtinuous left turn lanes in the center, and good <br />shoulders along ",\lith good access consolidation. Afour-lane ofTH47 would be the best <br />but due to funds and property acquisitions 1 knolY this will not be feasible. <br /> <br />TH 47 should be four-lanes to St. Francis! <br /> <br />Turn TH 47 back to city street. <br /> <br />Turn back TH 47 to a city street. <br /> <br />Change TH 47 to a city street. <br /> <br />ljust read the meeting minutes andl\'m a bit disappointed in what 1 saw. Clearly, the <br />main problem with the road is that there is too much traffic for the current design. <br />Adding more lights, signs, and turn lanes will not solve the problem andwe'll be back <br />discussing it again in aj(n,jI years. Do people forget that the road was redone 5 years <br />ago and it only slightly improved (possibly made worse) the current situation? 1 agree <br />that we definitely need more bike paths and better turn lanes, but adding lights and <br />slowing down the traffic speeds will make things worse. The main problem causing the <br />congestion is the intersection ofCSAH 116/TH 47. Not enough cars get through there <br />quickenough, thus traffic backs up all the waypass the fairgrounds, into Anokaandonto <br />TH 101 Not that is a safety hazard. The road needs to be widened at the intersection so <br />two-lanes of trajjlc (ie double the amount of cars) can move north and south through the <br />intersection. If you make the roadfour lanesfrom south ofCSAH 116 up to Alpine <br />Drive, you helped the afternoon traffic a. TON. If you really want to get serious, . remove <br />the fairgrounds and the houses in between TN 10 and CSAH 116. Clearly, Ramsey has <br />built too many townhouses in this area and the roads can't handle the influx of cars; <br />Everyone has their own little sign or change they want the will make their life easier. But <br />this is b;gger then that and Mn/DOT and Anoka County needs to step up to the plate and <br />do something positive that will help everyone who drives in this area. How about a plug <br />to get rid of that ugly recycling center! <br /> <br />Can't see how doing anything to Dysprosium will help. Need to fix TH 47 and TH 10. <br /> <br />P25 <br />
