2001 Comprehensive Plan <br />Amended February 26, 2002 <br /> <br />ge <br /> <br />Jurisdictional and Functional Classification <br />Anoka County has identified two roadway jurisdictional changes. Anoka County has <br />proposed transferring a portion of CSAH 5 and CR 56 to the State's trunk highway <br />system and transferring a portion of TH 47 to the County's system. The likelihood of <br />these jurisdictional changes would increase if a new Mississippi River bridge were <br />constructed in Ramsey. The City of Ramsey does not agree with realignment of trunk <br />Highway 47 as recommended by Anoka County or the proposed Mississippi River <br />crossing location as depicted in the Anoka County 2015 Transportation Plan. This <br />issue warrants further study by MnDOT, Anoka County, and the City. <br /> <br />The current functional classification system for Ramsey is generally expected to be <br />adequate for the traffic demands of 2020. A few classification changes will be <br />desirable as several roadways change their functional character (see Table VI-4). <br /> <br />The only arterial expected to be added to the roadway network is the extension of CR <br />116. Metropolitan Council planning guidelines indicate that minor arterials should be <br />spaced one to two miles apart in developing areas, and should support trips of two to <br />six miles long. <br /> <br />Several streets that are currently classified as local roadways should be reclassified as <br />collectors. Among these roadways are 153rd Avenue, 167th Avenue, Sunwood Drive, <br />McKinley Street, and the south Highway 10/169 frontage road. The reclassification <br />of these roadways will be necessary as a result of the expected increase in traffic and <br />change in functional usage of these roadways as they are extended or connected into <br />the greater roadway system. Metropolitan Council planning guidelines indicate that <br />collectors should be spaced one-half to one mile apart in developing areas, and should <br />support trips of one to four miles long. <br /> <br />Table VI-4 Changes in Functional Classification <br /> <br />Roadway Existing Functional Future Functional <br /> Class Class <br />County Road 116 (Industry B Minor Arterial B Minor Arterial <br />Ave) w/o Ramsey Boulevard (partial) from Rum River to <br />to its intersection with US 10 US 10 <br />167th Avenue Local Street Collector <br />155th Avenue between Cty.
