TH 47 provide occasions to Fd31neapolis and St. Paul as ~_11 as to the interstate highways 1-694 and 1-35W. ~igur~ 9 ~ th~ ~ ~oad sy~-tsm. TH X0 is the spir~ of the road system. It is a four-lane divided h/ghway with two signalized intersections and four other secor~ intersections with/n the study area. The signalized intersec~ are at CR 56 (Ramsey Boulevard) and CR 57 (Sunfish Iake Boulevard). At the eastern b~~ of the study area there is a stop controlled intersection with CR 83 (Ar~ Boulevard N.W. ). Other intersections with median bre2~ks are located on the s~dth side of the road at Traprock Street N.W., Feldspar Street and Tungsten Street N.W. Two inte_~m.-tions without median breaks are located on the s~ath side of TH 10. Tb_e-~e are at Alpaca Street N.W. and Dolc~ite Street N.W. There are five intermittent median brsa3m rmt associated with intmrsections along the 2.65-mile s~retch of TH 10 within the study area. In addition to the intar~ections and reed/an breaks, there are 53 private access points en~o ~ trunk highway ~ang the 2.65-~ite length in the study area. Given the speed and volu~e of traffic together with the regional ~nction of TH 10, these private access points and ~ncontrolled median breaks consti~te a safety hazard. The Bur!irgton No~he.-n P~oad track runs almost parallel to TH 10 just nor~h of it. At CR 83, ~ track is jus~ over 70 feet fr~m the r~ad. At CR 56, it is just over 400 feet from the road and at CR 57, just over 500 fe~t. There is a po'~ential for futu_~ problams in the limited storage space for v~kicles between t. he railroad trac2~ and the ir~~ions with TH t0. Long ~/t ~_i~ and om~odity trains c~n block +_he road for up to f~.r minutes.
