7550 Sunwood Drive NW • Ramsey; MN 55303 <br />City Hall: 763.427.1410 • Fax: 763.427.5543 <br />www.cityoframsey.com <br />west of Armstrong Boulevard/CSAH 83. This should be reflected in the Freight section of the Anoka County 2040 <br />Transportation Plan. <br />Highway Projects <br />U.S. Highway 10/Greater MN Gateway <br />Ramsey extends its thanks and gratitude to Anoka County for its leadership in Transportation Planning for <br />Highway 10. Ramsey supports the current vision and prioritization for this corridor as laid out in the <br />Highway 10 Access Planning Study and the Anoka Solution. <br />Ramsey has initiated the Ramsey Highway 10 Plan to set up the corridor for success moving forward and <br />continuing the positive momentum experienced thus far. Our current priorities include, but are not <br />necessarily limited to the following (in no priority order): <br />• Full Access Grade -Separated Interchange at Sunfish Lake Boulevard/CSAH 57 <br />• Full Access Grade -Separated Interchange at Ramsey Boulevard/CSAH 56 <br />• Reduced Conflict U-Turn Intersection at Bowers Drive <br />• Reduced Conflict U-Turn Intersection at Alpine Drive <br />• Removal of uses on north side of U.S. Highway 10/169 west of Ramsey Boulevard <br />• Pedestrian Bridge on Central Anoka County Regional Trail at Northstar Commuter Rail - Ramsey <br />Station <br />• Frontage Roads to support interchange and removal of private, direct accesses on U.S. Highway <br />10/169 <br />Mississippi River Crossing <br />The Plan is absent any meaningful planning for a Future Mississippi River Crossing. Ramsey acknowledges <br />that this future improvement is absent in Thrive2040, the Regional Development Framework. However, <br />large transportation projects take leadership of local communities to drive priorities. <br />Armstrong Boulevard/CSAH 83 has been designed to ultimately become the corridor for the future <br />Mississippi River Crossing. With that in mind, Ramsey objects to the potential Jurisdictional Transfer of this <br />corridor south of Bunker Lake Boulevard. <br />Saint Francis Boulevard/TH 47 Study Revival <br />On or about 2016, a joint study for Trunk Highway 47 was initiated covering the cities of Ramsey and Anoka. <br />This plan was never fully adopted, and many of these alternatives are no longer valid. Ramsey would <br />recommend refreshing this study to advance the alternatives. <br />It is our mission to work together to responsibly grow our community, <br />and to provide quality, cost-effective, and efridentgovernment services: <br />
