This chart does not reflect all the <br />MnDOT guidance. Agencies should work with MnDOT, the appropriate county highway authority, and the local land use authority <br />when planning new or modified access. <br />1 Community Designations are from Thrive MSP 2040, they are not MnDOT designations. <br />Source: Metropolitan Council 2040 Transportation Policy Plan. <br />Right -of -Way <br />Under federal and Minnesota law, the County may acquire property for public purposes <br />such as construction for highway improvements to reduce traffic congestion and <br />accidents. As the County begins its design work to expand a road, improve an intersection, <br />or construct a new road, it is necessary to determine how much land will be needed to <br />complete the project, both temporarily (during construction) and permanently. In some <br />cases, the land is owned by the County or available to the County from other public entities <br />for road construction. In other cases, the land may be owned by private interests. <br />ANOKA COUNTY 2040 TRANSPORTATION PLAN UPDATE CHAPTER 6 - IMPROVEMENT STRATEGIES AND IMPLEMENTATION 110 <br />
