June 2, I997 Mr. Jon Olson Anoka County Engineer 2100 Third Ave Anoka, MN 55303 Dear Jon: The purpose of this letter is to express the City of Ramsey's perspective highway improvements on the County's trtmk system within the City. This position has had the review of the City Road and Bridge Committee and the City Council. The City considers the improvement of the C.R. #116 corridor as the highest priority, Presently, the County has the extension of C.R. #116 from C.R. #56 to C.R. #83 listed as a 1998 project in it's five year plan. The City endorses this project. The City feels the potential for commercial and industrial development is great along this corridor, particularly the segment between C.R. #56 and Dysprosium Street. The City encourages the County to investigate and program the need for expanded capacity of C.R. #116 along this segment of C.R. #116 A secondary area of need which the City envisions evolving as a result of the development of the commercial/industrial corridor along C.R. #116, will be the need to expand the capacity of the noah/south linkages between C.R. #116 and Hwy #10, along C.R. #57, C.R. #56, and CSAH #83. The City envisions that additional dedicated turn lanes could be necessary in the near future, particularly on C.R. #56 and C.R. #57. The City encourages the County to monitor these intersections for delay and capacity warrants beginning in 1998. It is felt by this time ~ new businesses, which are now in the process of being constructed will be generating traffic. The City is requesting that the following segments of county highway be considered for overlay due to deteriorating pavement conditions: C.R. #63 from C.R. #83 to CSAH #5 C.R. #63 from CSAH #5 to CSAH #7 CSAFi #83 from 173rd Avenue NW to CSAH #22 I I I !
