February 13, 2013 <br />Erik Thorvig, City Planner/Economic Development Coordinator <br />City of Anoka <br />2015 First Avenue North <br />Anoka, MN 55303-2270 <br />Erik: <br />The City of Ramsey has reviewed your Comprehensive Plan Amendments for Bunker Lake <br />Boulevard/7th Avenue and Anoka Station Master Plan sent February 15t, 2013. The City of <br />Ramsey provides the following comments: <br />Regional transportation continues to be a priority for the City of Ramsey to address current <br />levels of service, future forecasts, safety, and mobility. The City of Ramsey desires to continue <br />to work with the City of Anoka to solve future design and capacity considerations. We are <br />appreciative of the current activities related to joint efforts along Highway 10. <br />The City of Ramsey feels there are already existing issues with capacity, safety, and level of <br />service on the regional roadway system and that future household, population, and <br />employment forecasts will further impact these factors. Improvements are necessary to <br />increase capacity and safety, thus bringing the system to an acceptable level of service. <br />As it relates to the Bunker Lake Boulevard/7th Avenue amendment, the City of Ramsey supports <br />the amendment provided that it does not negatively impact the agreed upon location <br />alternatives of the 115 kV Great River Energy (GRE) Transmission Line project. <br />The City of Ramsey supports the two (2) Comprehensive Plan Amendments, provided that the <br />communities continue to work collaboratively to meet the regional transportation needs of the <br />area. <br />Sincerely, <br />CITY OF RAMSEY <br />Tim Gladhill <br />Development Services Manager <br />
