Mr. Chromey indicated this plan is based on a 20-year forecast and will be able to compute the <br />type of roadway and the right-of-way that .should be preserved. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson questioned why there is not road planning done in the area north of Trott <br />Brook. <br /> <br />Mr. Chromey explained that there is some connectivity shown through the area on a major <br />collector level. Corridors are shown that are meant to provide cross-community connectivity. <br />The intent of the residential streets are to provide connections between neighborhoods. He <br />indicated some flexibility should be left as development occurs. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson stated there have been a lot of developments approved north of Green <br />Valley Road, and one of the things that has been Challenging is approving things that are a dead- <br />end situation. His view would be to give some thought to the roads in this area, as the plan can <br />be tweaked as needed. <br /> <br />Cmmciln~ember Elvig inquired what demographic studies were taken into account with this <br />information, as Ramsey is a collector for the entire northwest portion of the County. <br /> <br />Mr. Chromey replied the travel demand model takes Anoka County into account and will be a <br />piece of the regional traffic travel model. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig suggested greenspace be considered close to the road on major arterial and <br />collector streets where people appreciate it; He noted this would require the houses being closer <br />together. <br /> <br />Commissioner Jeffrey questioned when the County will be communicated with regarding the <br />traffic. He stated the County should be sitting at the table with the City as this is studied. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec commented the County runs into funding problems. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson stated the County also has to deal with priorities. He stated <br />Commissioner Langfeld was incredibly successful getting a lot of funding for Lino Lakes. <br />Commissioner Berg represents Ramsey and is a key player in transportation. <br /> <br />Mr. Chromey indicated building this roadway system will be a partnership between the City, <br />County and State. The County and State get mOre bang for the buck when the local cities come <br />forward. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec commented Highway 10 has been mapped out with the State, and something <br />similar needs to be done with the County. <br /> <br />Commissioner Brauer expressed concem that there is only one principal arterial shown. He <br />stated with the explosion on Highway 10 the City was gridlocked, and if there had been another <br />major incident in the City there would havebeen problems getting people there in time. <br /> <br />City Council/January 4, 2005 <br /> Page 6 of 8 <br /> <br /> <br />
