54 <br />• Augmenters: Arterials that supplement the principal arterials system within urban centers <br />and urban communities. <br />• Expanders: Arterials that supplement principal arterials in less -densely developed areas of <br />the metro area. <br />• Connectors: Arterials that provide connections between rural towns and connect rural <br />areas with the principal arterial system. <br />There are seven "A" Minor Expanders, one "A" Minor Reliever, and one "A" Minor Connector within <br />the city: <br />"A" Minor Expanders: <br />• Anoka County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 5 (Nowthen Boulevard) <br />• CSAH 7 (Rum River Boulevard) south of 179th Lane <br />• CSAH 22 (181st Avenue) <br />• CSAH 56 (Ramsey Boulevard) <br />• CSAH/County Road 57 (Sunfish Lake Boulevard) <br />• County Road 64 (181st Avenue) <br />• CSAH 83 (Armstrong Boulevard/Baugh Street) <br />"A" Minor Reliever: <br />• CSAH 116 (Bunker Lake Boulevard) <br />"A" Minor Connector: <br />• Trunk Highway (TH) 47 (St. Francis Boulevard) <br />"B" Minor arterials have a similar focus on mobility above land access. These roadways connect <br />major traffic generators in the region. "B" Minor arterials are not eligible for federal funding. "B" <br />Minor arterials within the city include the following: <br />• CSAH 7 (Rum River Boulevard) north of 179th Lane <br />An additional B minor arterial connecting CSAH 5 with TH 47 in the northern section of the city is <br />identified as a planned arterial in the 2040 Transportation Policy Plan. <br />Major and Minor Collectors <br />Major and minor collector roadways provide linkages to larger developments and community <br />amenities. They generally do not link communities to one another. Collector roadways generally <br />favor access to the system over mobility, but try to balance the two competing needs. Collector <br />roadways are generally lower speed than the principal or minor arterial routes. Collector roadways <br />are often owned and operated by cities, although counties operate some of these facilities. Within <br />Ramsey, two collector roadways are owned and operated by the city, and Anoka County operates <br />two. Collectors are intended to serve trips of one to four miles in length. Collectors link minor <br />arterials, other collectors, and local streets. <br />Cily of RAMSEY <br />August 2018 Draft <br />U�. <br />Comprehensive Plan 2040 <br />
