Ramsey Land Use/Transportation Corridor 4/18/94 page 5 Commercial designation forms a strip along the highway between Ramsey Blvd. and Sunfish Lake Blvd. North of this is designated Industrial as far as the landfill area. Much of the landfill area is designated Open Space. The northern part of the landfill area is designated Park. South of Hwy. 10, the Puma/Hwy. 10 Commercial area continues approximately halfway to the river. A scenic easement forms a landscaped buffer between this Commercial area and the Single Family Residential along the river. This buffer could allow for a river corridor trail to connect the newer neighborhoods with the riverfront park downstream and with the Commercial areas. This would contribute to river corridor trails recommended for the Critical Area. The trail would serve as both a recreational and commuter trail. Figure 7: Mississippi River Bridge Crossing Connect to Armstrong Blvd. In this scenario, the river crossing would connect to Armstrong Blvd. The Commercial, OfficeBusiness Park, and Highway Business designations are similar to the previous scenario. The landscaped buffer and trail separates the Commercial and Single Family Residential on the south of Hwy. 10 at Puma. COMPARING BRIDGE LOCATION SCENARIOS TO THE PROPOSED GOALS AND CRITERIA The March 2 study session group decided to develop goals and criteria to evaluate potential bridge corridors. The consultant team drafted the goals and criteria and the work group revised them at the April 6 work session. These goals and criteria are: City of Ramsey Proposed Goals for Mississippi River Bridge 1. To facilitate the reduction of traffic congestion on TH-10. 2.
