7550 Sunwood Drive NW • Ramsey; MN 55303 <br />City Hall: 763.427.1410 • Fax: 763.427.5543 <br />www.cityoframsey.com <br />Ramsey would recommend initiating this study in 2019. <br />Ramsey acknowledges the STIP Funding Application for the intersection of Bunker Lake Boulevard/CSAH <br />116 and Saint Francis Boulevard/TH 47. Ramsey commends Anoka County for taking the lead on this <br />initiative and looks forward to supporting this project. <br />Nowthen Boulevard/CSAH 5 Corridor Study <br />Within the next ten year planning period, Ramsey desires to jointly complete a Corridor Study for the <br />Nowthen Boulevard/CSAH 5 Corridor. Congestion on Trunk Highway 47/Saint Francis Boulevard is <br />creating significant delays and safety concerns along this corridor. Significant growth and the opening of a <br />new elementary school in 2019 emphasize the need to complete key safety improvements at key nodes. <br />Ramsey objects to any potential jurisdictional transfer of this corridor south/east of Sunfish Lake <br />Boulevard/CSAH 57 without a long-term plan for both the CSAH 5 and TH 47 corridors. <br />Ramsey would suggest initiating this study in 2019. <br />Armstrong Boulevard/CSAH 83 <br />Ramsey desires to study specific spot improvements along the Armstrong Boulevard/CSAH 5 Corridor. <br />Ramsey does not believe a full Corridor Study is warranted along this corridor, but the completion of ICE <br />Reports at key intersections. <br />• Armstrong Boulevard/CSAH 83 and Alpine Drive <br />• Armstrong Boulevard/CSAH 83 and 161st Avenue (Ramsey Central Park/Game Fair Entrance) <br />Ramsey would prioritize Saint Francis Boulevard/TH 47 and Nowthen Boulevard/CSAH 5 Corridor Studies <br />over this corridor. However, given the smaller scope of study, Ramsey hopes that this study can be advanced <br />quicker. <br />Green Valley Road/CR 63 <br />During Ramsey's Public Engagement for our 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update, we heard several comments <br />about safety along Green Valley Road/CR 63. As Ramsey continues to grow, this general corridor is shaping <br />up to be a major East/West Connection, another key goal of our community. Many of these comments <br />seemed to be focused on pedestrian safety. Ramsey is planning some trail linkages in the general area. <br />However, many of respondents noted that even the addition of paved shoulders would be a relatively low- <br />cost, high -benefit improvement for the corridor. <br />It is our mission to work together to responsibly grow our community, <br />and to provide quality, cost-effective, and efridentgovernment services: <br />
