City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br /> <br />Approved: XXXXX <br />B-18 <br />accommodate lower travel speeds. The function of Major Collectors is balanced <br />between mobility and accessibility; therefore these roadways should be designed <br />accordingly. Table B.6 below presents the recommended design speed for the Arden <br />Hills roadway network: <br /> <br />Table B.6 – Roadway Design Speed Guidelines <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />3.4 RIGHT-OF-WAY WIDTH <br /> <br />Right-of-way width is directly related to the roadway’s width and its ability to carry <br />vehicular and pedestrian traffic in a safe and efficient manner. The roadway right-of- <br />way widths identified in Figures B.4 and B.5 A and B are the minimum required for <br />Major and Minor Collector streets, respectively. For Minor Collector streets in <br />residential areas, a minimum right-of-way width of 66’ is necessary for the added <br />roadway width, as well as to provide added setback distance between the roadway and <br />homes along the roadway. Right-of-way widths greater than 66’ may be required on <br />Major Collector roadways within commercial areas to accommodate the potential for <br />higher traffic volumes and the need for additional through or turning lanes. All right-of- <br />way requirements may be increased at the discretion of the City Engineer, with approval <br />by the City Council. Please refer to Ramsey County’s right-of-way requirements for <br />county roads in their current Transportation Plan. The City should obtain identified local <br />and county right-of-way through any proposed redevelopment process to accommodate <br />long-term roadway and sidewalk/trail needs. <br /> <br />3.5 ROADWAY JURISDICTION <br /> <br />Roadway jurisdiction directly relates to functional classification of roadways. Generally, <br />roadways with higher mobility functions (such as arterials) should fall under the <br />jurisdiction of a regional level of government. In recognizing these roadways serve <br />greater areas resulting in longer trips and higher volumes, jurisdiction of Principal <br />Arterial and Minor Arterial roadways should fall under the jurisdiction of the State and <br />County, respectively. Similarly, roadways with more emphasis on local circulation and <br />Functional Classification Design Speed (1) <br />Minor Collector Street 30 mph <br />Major Collector Roadway 35 – 40 mph <br />Minor Arterial Roadway 45 – 55 mph <br />(1) At the discretion of the City Engineer for City roadways, <br />with approval by the City Council. <br />Dr <br />a <br />f <br />t <br /> <br />11 <br />/ <br />2 <br />0 <br />/ <br />2 <br />0 <br />1 <br />7
