• The City supports a potential future river crossing at Armstrong Boulevard (CSAH 83) between Ramsey and Dayton and is choosing to preserve right-of-way for this potential crossing. Rogers 2040 Comprehensive Plan (2020) Look Back Rogers had a population of 12,228 among 4,037 households and provided 9,401 jobs in 2014. The area surrounding the TH 101/1-94 Interchange developed significantly between 1998 and 2009 which left the city with pockets of remnant, vacant commercial and industrial land. Roadway capacity deficiencies exist at the TH 101/1-94 Interchange where southbound ramps are over capacity. Look to Future Rogers anticipates a population of 22,000 among 8,750 households and 14,800 jobs by 2040. The city has identified significant infill and redevelopment opportunities along TH 101 and TH 94. Long-term growth of business and creation of jobs shall depend on a mix of infill of vacant properties or redevelopment. The city has identified the potential for some non-residential growth along 109' Ave and Territorial Road as a result of the Elm Creek Interceptor extension in 2017 and the planned 1-94 Interchange on the border of Dayton planned for 2020. Traffic deficiencies at the TH 101/1-94 Interchange are anticipated to remain through 2040 and the Rogers Transportation Plan does not identify the need for improvements. Design work continues for the Dayton Parkway Interchange which will reduce overall traffic volumes near the TH 101/1-94 Interchange. No other transportation deficiencies are planned to occur by 2040. Progress The Dayton Parkway is currently underway and will include: • New Dayton Parkway between County road 101 and County Road 81 • New diverging diamond interchange with on /off ramps connecting 1-94 and County Road 81 Key Takeaways • Rogers anticipates an almost doubling of the population and households by 2040 along with a significant increase in jobs. • Traffic deficiencies are minimal and are anticipated to be alleviated with construction of the Dayton Parkway Interchange. • The Dayton Parkway Interchange is currently being constructed. St. Michael Comprehensive Plan (2018) Look Back St. Michael had an estimated population of 16, 399 living among 5,239 households and employed 5,212 in 2011. St. Michael is rural and largely undeveloped. Industrial, commercial, and residential uses are located along Highway 241 with an industrial node located at the 241/101 interchange. Most of the industrial development in St. Michael occurs along TH 241 between downtown and 1-94. Development has been guided toward this area because of its transportation access. The plan describes the city as a young city which limits redevelopment opportunities. Redevelopment opportunities are anticipated to surface as the city ages and anticipated, significant, development takes hold. NW Metro Mississippi River Crossings Feasibility Analysis Page l 32
