City of Ramsey 15153 NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55808 PHONE (612) 427-1410 FAX (612) 427-5543 TDD (6t2) 427-8591 January 2, 1998 Mr. Jon Olson County Engineer 1440 Bunker Lake Boulevard N.W. Andover, MN 55304 RE: Anoka County 2015 Transportation Plan Dear Jon; I am in receipt of your November 14, 1997 letter, which accompanied the transmittal of the draft copy of the Anoka County 2015 Transportation Plan. I reviewed the draft plan with the City's Road and Bridge Committee on December 16, 1997, and would like to relate to you several comments suggested by the Committee. Figure i, which illustrates the key highway system recommendations, shows the proposed Mississippi River Crossing and the associated turnback of County Road #56 to the State as it presently exists in the current 2010 plan. While the City continues to be supportive of the Mississippi River Crossing, it was the Committee's feeling that the northward extension should meet County Road #1 I6 in a tee fashion which would then allow northbound traffic to utilize multiple north/south arterial options rather then focusing the traffic onto County Road #56. Perhaps this modification will have some impact on the proposed jurisdictional change of County Road #56 to the State. Secondly, the City would encourage the addition of a Park and Ride lot at the intersection of CSAH #5 and T.H. #47 to Figure ii which contains key transit system recommendations. Lord of Life Church has issued a memo of support for this concept which was included in our recent STP grant application for the T.H. #47.project. Finally, the Committee desired additional information on the proposal to. upgrade T.H. #I0 to four-lane freeway from County Road #86 eastward. Presumably, this would mean a continuous freeway from Armstrong Boulevard through Anoka and Coon Rapids. At which existing intersections would there be interchanges? The Committee desires a meeting with you to discuss Itl
