Figures 4~ ~, 6, and 7 deal specifically with the Hwy. l 0 corridor, alternative land use designation& in the corridor, and options for an additional bridge crossing the Mississippi River. It should be noted that these alternatives have utilized a variety of resources and are not representati~'e ofoBcial transportation plans. RLK and BIXO have attempted to coordinate the propos~~ transportation routes with long-range transportation planning in adjacent communiti~. Figure 4: The No-Bridl~e Scenario Under this s~enario, the transportation and land use patterns have been reviewed based upon the assumpt!on there will not be a new bridge crossing the Mississippi River into the City of Ramsey. Fi.~ure 4 identifies the basic transportation corridor and land uses which should be implemented if the City selects this option as a preferred alternative. The area east of The Links at Northfork golf course is designated Single Family all the way past P,,amsey~ Blvd. The present tree farm area is designated Medium Density Residential with an area at .,~'rnstrong and Hwy. 10 providing a Community Commercial node. Business Warehouse Uses are proposed for new uses in the area along the highway east of Puma St. High Density. Residential and Commercial areas are designated on the west side of Ramsey Blvd. whereiit meets the railroad tracks. On the east is Industrial. A t-Iighway Commercial designation follows Hwy. 10 between the tracks and the highway. Two business access roads provide access to the businesses along the highway and within the Industrial arq, as north of the tracks. The road between the.highway and the tracks allows the elimination df direct access onto the highway, reducing highway congestion while still [ providing good access to the businesses along the highway. Immediatelylnorth of the railroad tracks and east of Ramsey Blvd. is designated Industrial, with Medium Derjsity Residential and Open Space north of that. The landfill area is designated Open Space. A Park would be developed between this Open Space area and 153rd Ave. N'W to the north. South of HwY. 10, land along the river is designated Single Family Residential. Areas along the highway ~re proposed for more intense uses. The strip from Ramsey Blvd. to Sunfish Lake Blvd. provides an area for High or Medium Density Residential. Likewise, the area on the highway weSt of Armstrong Blvd. is designated High Density Residential. Between P,.amsey and Armstrong is the Commercial area that provides retail services to the residential areas. A frontage/acc{ss road runs along the south side of HWY. 10, providing access to the residential and commercial areas. This eliminates the need for direct access on and offthe highway and reduces highway congestion.
