City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br /> <br />Approved: September 28, 2009 <br />11-3 <br />• CSAH 96, East of CSAH 50/Hamline Avenue <br />• CSAH 96 from I-35W to TH 10 <br />• CR D, CSAH 149/Lake Johanna Boulevard to CSAH 46/Cleveland <br />Avenue <br />• CR E, TH 51 to CSAH 76/Snelling Avenue <br />• CR I from I-35W to Snelling Avenue <br /> <br />Level of Service D & E – Near Congested <br />• I-35W, North of TH 10/CSAH 10 <br />• I-35W from TH 88 to CR D <br />• TH 51 from I-694 to CSAH 50/Hamline Avenue <br />• CR D from CSAH 46/Cleveland Avenue to I-35W <br /> <br />Level of Service F – Congested <br />• I-35W from TH 10 to TH 88 <br />• I-35W, South of CR D <br />• I-694 from Western City Limits to Eastern City Limits <br /> <br />Capacity improvements are recommended on any roadway with a future level of <br />service of D, E, or F, as defined in the roadway capacity discussion within the <br />Transportation System Principals and Standards section. Roadways identified <br />above as near congested or congested are recommended to be monitored and <br />programmed for capacity improvements when necessary. Roadways that are <br />periodically congested are generally identified as providing an acceptable level of <br />service. <br /> <br />11.2.2 Safety and Mobility <br /> <br />Congestion analysis shows I-35W and I-694 as the roadways with significant <br />congestion. The rest of the existing transportation system throughout Arden Hills <br />is primarily periodically congested, with areas that are near congested. Of <br />primary concern to the City of Arden Hills is the congestion on TH 51/Hamline <br />Avenue, south of I-694 and the county roadways at the interchanges with I-35W. <br />This indicates that the congestion on I-35W is impacting the county roadways <br />that have access to it. As I-35W becomes more congested, more traffic will likely <br />use TH 51 or other adjacent minor arterials as an alternate route, which may also <br />become congested. <br /> <br />A planning-level analysis of the existing transportation system in Arden Hills was <br />completed and included evaluating crash records for accident trends, the types of <br />accidents most commonly occurring, and where accident trends may exist.
