In addition to MnDOT-sponsored studies, Hennepin and Anoka Counties have both looked into the river <br />crossing issue as part of area transportation plans on both sides of the river, as have the cities of Dayton <br />and Ramsey. <br />Details of all these studies — along with area related area transportation and land use policies within <br />area city and county comprehensive plans — are included in this context analysis. <br />Feasibility Analysis Area <br />The Feasibility Analysis Area extends from Otsego and Elk River (Wright and Sherburne Counties) to <br />Coon Rapids (Anoka County) and Brooklyn Park (Hennepin County). The area includes many cities on <br />both sides of the Mississippi River and in close vicinity to understand the regional transportation <br />planning context. Anticipated development and redevelopment trends for population, household, and <br />employment have high potential to reshape cities on both sides of the river and increase pressure on <br />the regional transportation system. This means increased flow of people and goods across the river <br />where existing crossings are limited, and new crossings lack full support. <br />Figure 1: Feasibility Area Map <br />SHERBU(RNE <br />Elk River <br />ro <br />Otsego' 1 <br />WRIv� <br />St Michael <br />Rogers <br />HENNTPIN <br />Corcoran <br />Key river crossing <br />,Dz, <br />1 -53. <br />ANOKA <br />\ 46 <br />- 1 Ramsey <br />t <br />- N, <br />1' �*;. , e — Andover <br />1b l 1 • Anoka <br />Dayton <br />101 <br />Champlin <br />9 Maple Grove <br />Maple Plain Plymouth <br />NW Metro Mississippi River Crossings Feasibility Analysis <br />Page 12 <br />Coo Rapids <br />N <br />610, <br />Brooklyn Park <br />Ham <br />N <br />Lake <br />65 <br />4 <br />
