October 28, 2021 <br /> ACHD Traffic Section Comments <br /> Listed below are comments from our Traffic Section. <br /> • There is currently 60 feet of ROW west of centerline,which should be sufficient for <br /> future reconstruction purposes. <br /> • There is currently a SB RTL and a NB bypass lane in place. After discussion with <br /> Engineering, we think that it would be better to put a NB LTL in and remove the NB <br /> bypass lane. Specifically,with the larger number of housing units being developed, a <br /> LTL would be the safer option than the bypass lane in place. <br /> • A trail construction that would connect to the trail just south of this property would <br /> be very beneficial especially with the elementary school at 170th Avenue NW. <br /> • County Ditch #51 runs through the south part of the property line, and this ditch <br /> may not be altered without first submitting detailed plans to the appropriate <br /> agencies and obtaining their permission as well as permission from the County <br /> Engineer. <br /> Please note that the ACHD Plat/Site Plan review process will apply to this development and that <br /> concept plans and preliminary plats + site plans should be sent to Logan Keehr for formal ACHD <br /> review and comment. <br /> If you have questions on the comments from the Traffic Section, please contact: <br /> Logan Keehr, ACHD Traffic Engineering Technician <br /> Logan.Keehr co.anoka.mn.us <br /> 763-324-3183 <br /> ACHD Design Section Comments <br /> Reiterating from what was mentioned above in the Traffic comments, a dedicated NB left turn <br /> lane being installed in place of the existing NB bypass lane on CSAH 5 would be preferred for <br /> safety, especially with only two accesses in and out of this large development. <br /> The comments in the traffic report on the future 2040 condition of the intersection of Ramsey <br /> Blvd and Nowthen Blvd by are noted. <br /> If you have questions on the comments from the Design Section, please contact: <br /> Brandon Ulvenes,ACHD Design Engineer <br /> Brandon.Ulvenes@co.anoka.mn.us <br /> 763-324-3159 <br /> Thank you again for allowing us the opportunity to comment on the Trott Brook Crossing EAW. <br /> We hope to continue coordinating our efforts with the City of Ramsey to improve transportation <br /> as the area continues to grow. <br /> Sincerelv, <br /> J4< ack Forslund <br /> Transportation Planner <br /> Page 1 2 <br /> I:\Planning\PLANS\Plan Reviews\Ramsey\2021 <br />
