Qty of Ramsey Comprehensive Plan Amendment Transportation Element . Construct a north side frontage (access) road along TH 10. The access road would be located adjacent to south side of the railroad right-of-way. Efforts would be made to extend the access road from CR 57 to CR 83. Moving west, however, this becomes increasing difficult, and the access road may have to be terminated at a point approximately 1,000 feet east ofCR 83. At this point the width of the land between the railroad right-of-way and TH 10 ranges from approximately 100 feet to 20 feet. The access road would be accessible to TH 10 from the north/south cross streets; CR 56 and CR 57 and, possibly, CR 83. It would provide access to the back side of parking lots that currently serve existing business locations. . Continue development of south side frontage road along TH lOin a manner that is consistent with the adopted land use designations. . Develop collector roads south ofTH 10 to serve the area between TH 10 and the Mississippi River. These collector roads should be developed consistent with the adopted land use designations and, to the extent possible, in a grid pattern. The north/south alignment of these roads should enable direct access to TH 10 at mile intervals (CR 83, CR 56, and CR 57). They should also intersect the frontage road on the south side ofTH 10 at the one-half mile point. . I}egin discussions with Mn/DOT on the installation of a traffic signal at the TH 10/CR 83 iptersection. The City or Mn/DOT could conduct field studies to count daily traffic yolume and peak hour turning movements at this intersection and prepare analysis to determine if signal warrants are met. Traffic signal design and actual installatioa would qave to be in accordance with Mn/DOT specifications and guidelines. . Begin discussions with the Burlington Northern Railroad and Mn/DOT to identify an appropriate location for a railroad overpass across TH 10. The City has identified a roadway in the general location of the extension ofCR 116 westward as a possible location. The City recognizes that further study will be necessary to determine if Puma Street is the most suitable location. It will be important in future studies of this issue to evaluate alternative locations to ensure that the selected location for the overpass will satisfy a series of goals. Among these are: Page 3-27
