I-694 NON-MOTORIZED CROSSING STUDY PAGE 31 <br />Edgerton Street Connection to Highway 96 Regional Trail (map reference U) — This recommendation suggests developing an on-street bike <br />connection along Edgerton between Vadnais Boulevard/Centerville Road and the Highway 96 Regional Trail. Edgerton has an existing bikeable <br />shoulder along much of the route and crosses I-694 at a non-interchange location with low traffic volumes. It is also identified by the Metropolitan <br />Council as a Tier 1 RBTN corridor. Edgerton terminates approximately 1.5 miles south of CSAH 96. Currently, bicyclists using Edgerton can continue <br />north on trails along Centerville Road (to the east) or at Vadnais Lake (west). An on-street route using Koehler Road and McMenemy Street provides a <br />more direct route west of Centerville Road for commuter bicyclists and could likely be achieved with low-cost improvements such as wayfinding / bike <br />route signage or pavement markings. There is already an existing trail along McMenemy between County Road F and the Highway 96 Regional Trail. <br />Bicycle Railings on Edgerton and Labore Bridges (map reference V) — The Edgerton and Labore bridges over I-694 do not currently have bicycle <br />railings on southbound sides of the bridges adjacent to the shoulder. Bicyclists have commented that this feels unsafe while riding on the southbound <br />shoulder. MnDOT’s bridge office will need to evaluate the feasibility and cost of retrofitting the bridge to replace the southbound railings. <br />Figure 9: Central Study Area Opportunity Projects and Recommendations <br />0 1 2 3 40.5 Miles <br />Data: State of Minnesota, Metropolitan Council, Ramsey County <br />O <br />P <br />Q <br />R <br />S <br />T <br />Hodgson Rd Reconstruction <br />I-35E / Highway 96 Bridge Redeck <br />Near-Term Opportunities <br />County Rd E Connection to Grass <br />Wayfinding to Grass Lake Trail Crossing <br />I-694 / Rice St Interchange <br />Trout Brook Regional Trail North <br />Fill bikeway gap between Edgerton & Highway 96 <br />Bicycle Railings on Edgerton and Labore Bridges <br />Future Network Needs <br />Owasso <br />East Vadnais <br />Snail <br />Gilfillan <br />Gervais Kohlman <br />West Vadnais <br />Sucker <br />Twin <br />Island <br />Wabasso <br />Martha <br />R i c e <br />V i c t o r i a <br />C e n t e r v i l l e <br />H <br />o <br />d <br />g <br />s <br />o <br />n <br />County Rd F <br />E d g e r t o n <br />M c m e m e m y <br />Highway 96 <br />Little Canada <br />County Rd E <br />Koehler <br />I -3 5 E <br />I-694 <br />O <br />P <br />Q <br />S <br />T <br />U <br />9 <br />8 <br />7 <br />131211 <br />10 <br />V V <br />U <br />R <br />V
