The City's <br />eastern border is the Rum River, and the Mississippi River forms the southern border. Ramsey's <br />western border is along Jarvis Street, which separates Ramsey from the City of Elk River and <br />Anoka County from Sherburne County. <br /> <br />Ramsey's transportation system is dominated by US Highway 10. This road, also known as Trunk <br />Highway (TH) 10, is the principal arterial link between the City of Ramsey and the remainder of <br />the metropolitan region. TH 10 is the only highway in the City that is part of the Metropolitan <br />Highway System. TH 10 is oriented as a northwest/southeast road where it passes through <br />Ramsey. <br /> <br />The City's transportation needs are also served by north/south and east/west roads. Important <br />north/south roads are Jarvis Street, CR 83 (Armstrong Boulevard), CR 56 (Ramsey Boulevard), <br />CR 57 (Sunfish Lake Boulevard, County State Aid Highway (CSAR) 5 or Nowthen Boulevard, <br />and TH 47 (St. Francis Boulevard). These roads provide continuous travel routes from the <br />northern border of Ramsey to TH 10. <br /> <br />Important east/west roads are CR 64 (181st Avenue), CR 27 (179th Avenue), CR 63 (173rd <br />Avenue and Green Valley Road), 153rd Avenue, and CR 116 (Industrial Boulevard). None of the <br />east/west roads, because of the locations of wetlands and past leap frog development practices, <br />are continuous across the City. For example, east/west CR 64, which forms Ramsey's northern <br />border, is continuous from Jarvis Street to CSAH 5. This three mile-long stretch of road only <br />provides service across half the City, and to drive across the remaining half would require over <br />one mile of diversions. <br /> <br />Page 3-2 <br />
