City of Arden Hills - Comprehensive Plan - DRAFT <br /> improvement includes additional lanes, and the improvement of the TH 51 ramp <br /> access to eastbound 1-694, one of the highest crash locations in the Arden Hills <br /> area. Further improvements should be studied with the Minnesota Department of <br /> Transportation and Ramsey County at the interchange ramps and intersections. <br /> The current proposed interchange on TH 10 should improve the operations along <br /> TH 10 and also CSAH 96 near TH 10. This interchange would enable a <br /> separation of the traffic on each corridor, improving operations to both. <br /> Functional Classification Needs <br /> Due to the developed nature of the City of Arden Hills, together with the <br /> community's pattern of water features and freeway facilities, there are minimal <br /> opportunities to expand the local roadway system in the developed areas of the <br /> City and develop additional continuous routes through the City. The area with <br /> the most opportunity for new roadways is the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant <br /> (TCAAP) property. As the TCAAP area is developed, there is an opportunity to <br /> provide effective routes for traffic, including the proposed county collector from <br /> CSAH 96 to CR H. This will be needed as the TCAAP property produces more <br /> trips throughout the area. Other roadway continuity improvements are not <br /> anticipated. The City will review redevelopment plans with the option to consider <br /> opportunities to improve continuity or improve/consolidate accesses. <br /> Multimodal Transportation Opportunities <br /> It is important for the community to plan for the ability to accommodate <br /> multimodal activities (i.e. transit, pedestrian, and bicycle) on all non-local <br /> roadways to provide other opportunities to move about the City and beyond. <br /> Transit Service <br /> Significant changes to the existing transit opportunities are not anticipated; <br /> however, the City is supportive of exploring additional transit options. The <br /> City will continue to be supportive of the park-n-ride lot on CR H and any <br /> expansion of the lot, which is used by Arden Hills' residents. The City will <br /> evaluate the need for future park-n-ride opportunities along with any <br /> redevelopment proposals where feasible. The City supports pursuing <br /> transit options for Northwestern College and Bethel University and for bus <br /> service to the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) site when it is <br /> developed. As the City's population ages, the City will continue to work <br /> with Metro Transit and senior community services to ensure needs are <br /> being met. <br /> DRAFT 79 <br /> 3/14/2008 <br />
