To minimize the potential impact any Mississippi River bridge crossing may have on the natural and built environments. City of Ramsey Proposed Criteria for Mississippi River Bridge 1. Any Mississippi River bridge crossing should attempt to minimize the environmental impacts on the Mississippi River specifically and its surrounding environs and ''built environment" in general. 2. Any Mississippi River bridge crossing should minimize the need for Right-Of-Way (ROW) acquisition. 3. Any Mississippi River bridge crossing should minimize the potential to impact the existing railroad corridor. 4. Any Mississippi River bridge crossing should minimize impact on existing residential neighborhoods. 5. Any Mississippi River bridge crossing should terminate at an east-west collector road in the City of Ramsey. 6. Any Mississippi River bridge crossing should be built from a source of multijurisdictional funds. 7. Any Mississippi River bridge crossing should attempt to incorporate a north frontage road along TII-lO. Note: Discussion in April resulted in agreement that the criteria should be revised to indicate that a) a primary focus should be a bridge's effect on Hwy. 10 and b) development potential oflands along a bridge road should be considered a positive impact that can mitigate negative impacts.
