including improvement discussed for the Armstrong Interchange. It is the City’s understanding that the Metropolitan Council does not support a third lane on Highway 10. TH 10 at Ramsey Boulevard—add an eastbound and a westbound through lane on the intersection approaches; add an eastbound and a southbound left turn lane and a westbound right turn lane. A southbound through lane and a northbound left turn lane and northbound through/right lane would need to be added to serve the Rivenwick 3rd Subdivision traffic independent of the project traffic. The City will continue to work with MnDOT and Anoka County on this item. It is the City’s understanding that the Metropolitan Council does not support a third lane on Highway 10. TH 10 at Sunfish Lake Boulevard—add an eastbound and a westbound through lane on the intersection approaches; convert the southbound approach from a through/left turn lane and a right turn lane to through/right turn lane and two left turn lanes (this adds one lane to the approach). The City will continue to work with MnDOT and Anoka County on this item. It is the City’s understanding that the Metropolitan Council does not support a third lane on Highway 10. Bunker Lake Boulevard (formerly Industry Avenue) at Ramsey Boulevard—add a southbound right turn lane; eastbound and northbound approaches would be widened by the above recommendations. This item has been completed. Sunwood Drive at Bunker Lake Boulevard (formerly Industry Avenue)—modify the shared lanes on the northbound, eastbound and westbound approaches to provide left turn lanes and shared through/right turn lanes The City will continue to work on this item. The following stop-controlled intersections would need to be signalized: Ramsey Boulevard at Bunker Lake Boulevard (formerly Industry Avenue). This item has been completed (Ramsey Boulevard at Bunker Lake Boulevard). Armstrong Boulevard at Bunker Lake Boulevard (formerly Industry Avenue). This item has been completed (Armstrong at Bunker Lake Boulevard). Bunker Lake Boulevard (formerly Industry Avenue) at Sunfish Lake Boulevard This item has been completed. Ramsey Boulevard at Sunwood Drive This item has been completed. Sunwood Drive at Bunker Lake Boulevard (Industry Avenue). The City will continue to work on this item. It has been included in the City’s capital improvement program (CIP). Sunwood Drive at Armstrong Boulevard. This item has been completed, subject to final signal installation. NS3 Street at Bunker Lake Boulevard (formerly Industry Avenue). NS3 Street is proposed to be changed to Center Street and this portion of Industry Avenue has been renamed Bunker Lake Boulevard. The City will continue to work on this item. The left turn volumes from the EW1 parkway (proposed to be renamed Ramsey Parkway) onto both Armstrong and Ramsey Boulevard cannot be accommodated at an acceptable LOS under stop control and require signalization to achieve acceptable operations. However, the close spacing between the intersections of the EW1 parkway and the intersections of Armstrong and Ramsey Boulevard with Industry Avenue limits the potential for the two parkway intersections to be signalized. Accordingly the parkway intersections should be channelized to provide right-in/right-out and left-in access (¾ access). Left out from the parkway would be prohibited and would redistribute to the north-south streets and to Industry Avenue (these volumes have been included in the mitigated calculations for the other intersections). The City completed the Preliminary Engineering Report for Sunwood Drive (December 6, 2011) for realignment of the western portion of Sunwood Drive. The revisioning of The COR and the creation of Development Plan 5.03 (adopted as part of the Comprehensive Plan 2011 Major Update) resulted in some of the residential Alternative Urban Areawide Review Update 9 The COR (formerly Ramsey Town Center) City of Ramsey, MN Landform Project No. RAM12015.000
