City of Ramsey 2030 Comprehensive Plan <br />Chapter 6: Transportation <br />process. Metropolitan Council planning guidelines indicate that collectors should be <br />spaced one-half to one mile apart in developing areas, and should support trips of one <br />to four miles long. <br />Table 6-4 Changes in Functional Classification <br />Roadway <br />Existing Functional <br />Class <br />Future Functional <br />Class <br />CSAH 116 (Bunker Lake <br />Blvd) w/o Ramsey Boulevard <br />to its intersection with US 10 <br />B Minor Arterial <br />(partial) <br />B Minor Arterial <br />from Rum River to <br />US 10 <br />167th Avenue from CRS to <br />Variolite <br />Local Street <br />Collector <br />Alpine Drive between TH 47 <br />and CSAH 56 and between <br />CSAH 83 and US 10 <br />Local Street <br />Collector <br />McKinley Street <br />Local Street <br />Collector <br />173rd Avenue w/o CSAH 83 <br />Local Street <br />Collector <br />Riverdale Drive <br />Local Street <br />Collector <br />3. Measures to Provide Adequate Operations on TH 10 <br />As expressed earlier in the transportation element, the City of Ramsey recognizes the <br />following three key points regarding TH 10 through the community: <br />a) TH 10 is a Principal Arterial and thereby serves as a major regional highway <br />b) TH 10 presently is operating at or beyond its capacity limits through the City <br />c) Mn/DOT has no major improvements programmed for TH 10 but supports <br />improvements along this corridor as indicated in its partnering on design and <br />environmental documents and the needs identified as part of its STP. RALF <br />funds have also been used for ROW acquisition. <br />In response to the above points, the City has established a two-phase strategy to fulfill <br />its role in providing adequate future operations on TH 10. One phase consists of <br />extending and upgrading parallel east -west roadways to reduce the number of trips <br />using TH 10. The City is vigorously pursuing improvements to east -west local <br />roadways as evidenced by the following projects: <br />• In the County's Capital Improvement Program (CIP), CSAH 116 is programmed <br />for upgrading in 2011 to a four lane divided highway from CSAH 57 (Sunfish <br />Lake Blvd. to TH 47). <br />• The City's CIP includes in 2009 a 3,000 foot extension of McKinley Street east of <br />Jaspar Street, which is just east of CSAH 56 (Ramsey Blvd.). This roadway, <br />which is just about 500 feet north of TH 10, will serve an important function in <br />accommodating east -west local trips. <br />City of Ramsey 2030 Comprehensive Plan Pg. 6-18 <br />
