The plan provides for approximately 1,140 additional high -density housing units within the 2020-2030 and 2030-2040 staging decades. The Future Land Use Plan includes 233 net acres of mixed -use development accommodating retail, commercial/office, and housing. A Mississippi River crossing is not included in the 2040 Transportation Policy plan. Future planning of a corridor and right-of-way protection will be considered as Dayton develops. Future corridor alignment between a future crossing and I-94/Dayton Parkway Interchange would be Vicksburg Lane/Zanzibar Lane to Dayton Parkway. Progress 1-94 Interchange: The City has secured funding and final approved plans for a Diverging Diamond interchange to be known as the Dayton Parkway Interchange.

Elk River Comprehensive Plan (2014) Look Back The City of Elk River had an estimated 22,974 population living among 8,023 households in 2010. The community contains significant undeveloped land. The Comprehensive Plan guides development toward regional highways. TH 10 and TH 169 were considered congested at the time this plan was developed. Look to Future The city's population is anticipated to increase significantly to 34,890 by 2035. The Comprehensive Plan guides future business developments to be located within the Urban Service Boundary and adjacent to regional highways with both visibility and access. The development reserve land use covers a significant central portion of the city and is held in reserve for future development. This area lies adjacent to TH 169 and TH 10 outside of the urban service area. Intense development is expected in the future given the size, access and visibility of the area. MnDOT and partners, including Elk River, had identified a number of improvements to both TH 10 and TH 169 including converting TH 169 to a freeway facility and converting a portion of TH 10 to freeway as well. Interchanges are planned along TH 10 combined with frontage roads and access elimination to enhance safety and function. TH 169 is anticipated to be a six -lane roadway in the future with several interchanges and other improvements. NW Metro Mississippi River Crossings Feasibility Analysis Page 128
