Discussions should be held and plans made <br />with the County and others relating to TDM activities before development plans are <br />finalized.

It will be <br />important to collaborate with County staff on the timing and financing of improvements to <br />the County road system. <br /> <br />Response: MMA response expected <br /> <br />Co m~nent 8.10: There is discussion of the impact on municipal infrastructure, including <br />public-street extensions, but there is no reference to the impact on the County Road system. <br />We would suggest that there is, indeed, impact including capacity, financial costs of <br />construction and maintenance, etc. Because of these design and budgetary concerns, <br />improvements such as signals, turn lanes, channelization, additional lanes for capacity, etc., <br />should be considered the responsibility of the developers and/or the City. <br /> <br />Response: MMA resP°0~:e:expe¢i~d <br /> <br />Com~nent 8.11.: The County regularly coordinates its systemic transportation issues with <br />Mn/DOT. Due to its size and impact, the transportation issues posed by the Ramsey Town <br />Center should also be coordinated with Mn/DOT plans for TH 10, commuter rail, <br />commuter transit, and transit facilities for the area. <br /> <br />Response: MMA r%p0nse, exPdoted <br /> <br />34-12 <br /> <br /> I <br /> I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br /> <br />
