An inventory of conditions ofR a~sey's thoroughfares is as <br />follows: <br /> <br />l) <br /> <br />The existing road network consists basically of County <br />and State highways. <br /> <br />2) Problems with the present road system include: <br /> <br />a) <br /> <br />There are only three east-west roads in Ramsey - <br />Highway 10, County Road 65 (Green Valley Road), <br />and Industry Avenue. County Road 65 functions <br />as an east-west ~ollector, however, itts current <br />alignment is not straight and it lacks continuity. <br /> <br />b) <br /> <br />TH 47 through Anoka has limited potential to <br />carry additional traffic because of right-of-way <br />constraints and dangerous "S' shaped curve by the <br />railroad. <br /> <br />c) There is a lack of service drives along TH 10. <br /> <br />d) <br /> <br />There are no controlled intersections where the <br />.local collectors intersect with TH 10, although <br />both County Road 56 and $7 intersections are <br />scheduled for si/nalization in 1981. <br /> <br />e) <br /> <br />There is presently a lack of any collectors south <br />of TH 10. <br /> <br />Existing develot~aent and environmental constraints <br />limit options available for providing for new_ <br />collectors. <br /> <br />g) <br /> <br />As a result of uncontrolled access to TH 10, there <br />have been several fatalities. <br /> <br />3) <br /> <br /> Until 1975 the City did not require that the streets which <br />are part of a subdivision be improved with bituminous or <br />'concrete. All subdivisions in the City now require street <br /> improvements. <br /> <br />4) <br /> <br />S) <br /> <br />Some City streets within subdivisions have been improved <br />with a bituminous surface. Except for some ~SA streets, <br />improvements are all on a petition basis. <br /> <br />Ramsey has a Nunicipal State Aid (I~A) system with $730,000 <br />of i~provements progrnmed for 1979-1985. Some of these <br />improvements include: <br /> <br />a) <br /> <br />b) <br /> <br />Variolite. Street from 161st to County Road 63 - <br />dirt and base work, plus asphalt surfacing. <br /> <br />15$rd Avenue N.W.C.S.A.H. #5 to TH47 - shaping <br />and asphalt !urfacing. <br /> <br /> <br />
