I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />! <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />be noted that an analysis of the soils in the area does not <br />qualify even these acreages as "prime agricultural" <br /> <br /> Transportation Linkages To and Within the Study Area: <br /> <br />Highways serving regional purposes cross and bound the study <br /> <br />area in a manner which creates significant accessibility. <br /> <br />Commencing at the southeast corner of the study area, CSAH #57 <br />forms the boundary between the study area and the City of Anoka <br />and then turns north to form a link between MTH ~10 and CSAH ~5, <br />which has recently been upgraded to form a major northwest-southeast <br />diagonal through the community. The north-south portion of CSAH #57 <br />was also recently upgraded and links the industrial area and <br />the sanitary landfill site both with MTH #10 and MTH #47. <br /> <br />CSAH #5 serves as a primary transportation route for residents <br /> <br />of the area north and northwest, which includes Burns Township <br /> <br />and areas in Sherburne County. CSAH #5 junctions with MTH #47 <br /> <br />in the study area. MTH #47 extends from the southeast corner <br /> <br />of the study area to connect on the north with the City of <br /> <br />St. Francis and on the south with MTH #10 in the City of Anoka. <br /> <br />Ail of these routes are of 9-ton capacity. CSAH #5 and the <br />north-south section of CSAH #57 both have high capacity cross- <br />sections including adequate shouldering for pedestrian and <br />bicycle ways. MTH #47 is by comparison a lower level roadway, <br />but work to remove traffic hazards, to widen shoulders and <br />provide turning lanes has been accomplished over the past two <br /> <br />- 16 - <br /> <br /> <br />
