Treatments <br />for these areas may include signing, striping and signalized pedestrian crossings." <br />The above strategy to mitigate conflicts may be effective immediately adjacent to the <br />park, but would be deficient with respect to bicyclists and pedestrians utilizing the <br />Central Anoka County Trail as it exists today. The intersection of Ramsey Boulevard and <br />Highways #10 & #169 (below) has traffic speeds of 60 MPH and is more than 220' feet <br />across — and including turn lanes, has 32 points of conflict to negotiate. <br />Mississippi West Regional Park Master Plan Amendment — City of Ramsey Response <br />Page 12 of 15 <br />
