Ramsey Land Use/Transportation Corridor 4/18/94 page 3 Figure 1: ~ 47/Thurston Avenue Connection Thurston Ave.~ue is proposed to be extended east while still located in the city ofAnoka. A new intersection with Co. Rd. 116 would be built approximately 500 feet west of the existing intersection o~TH 47 and Co. Rd. 116. Thurston Avenue would be located on the east side of the wetland ~ neighborhood access would be maintained to the Flintwood Hills r neighborhood~ Thurston Avenue would be extended north to intersect with TH 47 in the vicinity of 142~ad Avenue. The opportunity to have TH 47 connect directly to Highway 10 via Thurston Avenue, with a grade-separate[d crossing of the railroad, warrants further consideration. Additional transportation improvements are proposed at the comer of Nowthen Boulevard and TH 47. Access will be imaintained to the existing commercial/retail structures at Co. Rd. 116 and TH 47. IfThurstcn Avenue became the major transportation route, it would most likely be designated TIq;47: the existing TH 47 south of Co. Rd. 116 in the City of Anoka would be "tumbacked" y the State of Minnesota, and become a local collector roadway.. Land use surrc}unding in the TH 47/Co. Rd. 116 intersection is proposed to remain consistent with the neighi~orhood commercial designation. The neighborhood commercial acreage will be expanded to tl~e Nowthen/TH 47 intersection. The opportunity to estabIish clear delineation between res~dant~al, and commercial land use should be considered. In addition the historic city hall should be !eiocated and the potential for a city center district evaluated. Figure 2: Th~ No-Bridge Scenario The forest preserve is designated High Density Residential and Commercial in this scenario. Medium Densi~ Residential and Commercial areas are desienated at the Ramsey/Hwy. 10 'l~e Commercial designation follows Hwy. 10~east. North of this is designated intersection. Industrial, witll I--Iigh Density Residential and Open Space north of that. The remainder of the study area is d~signated Single Family Residential. Figure 3: ElkiRiver Connection Figure 3 illust?~ates a possible east-west roadway connection with the City of Elk River. The existing 17.~rd.!Street--- would be improved and emended into the City of Elk River. The wor~ng group, is also proposing that Jarvis Street be improved and extended jointly by the Cities ofElk P4v~ er and Ramsey. The working ~oup is proposing that the land use in this area be'predominately single family residential. A -~hght possibility may exist for a small neighborhood commercial center depending on ~ea development patterns.
