92 <br />Proposed Short and Long Range Roadway Projects <br />The sections below identify proposed short and long range roadway projects identified in the city's <br />CIP and based on the proposed land use and redevelopment activities described in previous <br />sections of this Plan. This section does not include information on proposed projects from the <br />Metropolitan Council 2040 TPP, as the TPP does not include any planned improvements to <br />principal arterials in Ramsey (aside from the completed interchange at TH 10 and Armstrong <br />Boulevard (CSAH 83). No additional interchanges, MnPASS lanes, dedicated busways, or bus -only <br />shoulders are proposed in the Current Revenue Scenario of the 2040 TPP. <br />Proposed Projects from CIPs <br />The city's CIP identifies a number of roadway projects. These projects are primarily reconstruction <br />and overlay projects intended to improve and maintain the roadway surface. However, there are <br />also several projects that will extend or expand the operational capacity of the roadway network <br />within the COR area, including improvements along Zeolite Street and Bunker Lake Boulevard. A <br />number of projects identified in the Highway 10 Access Planning Study are also included in the CIP, <br />including extension of Riverdale Drive, construction of a BNSF railroad underpass on Ramsey <br />Boulevard, construction of north and south frontage roads along TH 10. Other road improvement <br />projects included in the CIP include projects for striping, lighting, and landscaping. <br />There are also a number of non -motorized transportation projects identified in the city's CIP. These <br />include completion of the off -road Mississippi River Regional Trail within the city, construction of a <br />trail connection to McKinley Street in the City of Anoka, a number of other high -priority trail <br />connections, and a pedestrian underpass at Alpine Drive. <br />Proposed Projects based on Land Use and Development <br />Transportation needs in the city will shift as development occurs. Narrow rural roadways may no <br />longer be suitable in certain areas. Additionally, there may be areas where development occurs and <br />requires new connecting roadways to ensure that roadways and intersections can accommodate <br />additional traffic volumes. Similarly, areas with new development may require non -motorized <br />transportation facilities to provide safe access to the transportation system for pedestrians and <br />bicyclists. Consideration of roadway modifications, intersection traffic control improvements, and <br />non -motorized facilities will continue as individual proposals for development move forward. <br />Cily of RAMSEY <br />August 2018 Draft <br />Comprehensive Plan 2040 <br />
