I-694 NON-MOTORIZED CROSSING STUDY PAGE 36 <br />MOVING FORWARD <br />The recommendations provided here are intended to provide planning level guidance on ways that <br />agencies along the I-694 corridor can take advantage of existing and planned projects to improve <br />pedestrian and bicycle safety and mobility. Many of the recommendations require further exploration to <br />determine feasibility, cost and other impacts. Each partner agency has a role in furthering that work and <br />will need to determine how these recommendations fit within their own priorities and available funding <br />moving forward. Additionally, upcoming planning efforts such as the Ramsey County Bicycle and <br />Pedestrian plan, the MnDOT Metro District Bicycle Master Plan, and local comprehensive plan updates <br />will provide avenues to understand how recommendations for this corridor fit within a larger context. <br />The study and its recommendations demonstrate that implementing a seamless network of pedestrian <br />and bicycle facilities across a significant barrier like an interstate corridor requires the interest, <br />investment, and coordination of all partners. In that regard, the collaboration of the various agencies <br />throughout the study process is to be commended and will hopefully carry through to further planning <br />and implementation. <br />Figure 10: East Study Area Opportunity Projects and Recommendations <br />0 1 2 3 40.5 Miles <br />Data: State of Minnesota, Metropolitan Council, Ramsey County <br />W <br />X <br />Y <br />Z <br />Highway 120 Resurfacing <br />Bruce Vento Trail Extension <br />McKnight On-Street Bikeway Improvements <br />Silver Lake Trail and Lake Links Trail Plans <br />Future Network Needs <br />494 <br />494 <br />White Bear <br />Goose <br />Birch <br />Willow <br />Silver (East) <br />Gem <br />M c k n i g h t <br />W h i t e B e a r <br />County Rd F <br />Highway 96 <br />County Road C <br />O <br />t <br />t <br />e <br />r <br /> <br />L <br />a <br />k <br />e <br />G o o s e L a k e <br />C e n t u r y <br />I-694 <br />County Rd E <br />M a p l e w o o d <br />X <br />W <br />Y <br />Z <br />18 <br />17161514
