City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br /> <br />Approved:, XXXX <br />11-15 <br />The Metropolitan Council’s Regional Truck Highway Corridor Study (completed in <br />2017) identified I-35W, I-694, and US 10 as Tier 1 regional key truck corridors. <br />County Road D (between I-35W and Fairview Avenue) was identified as a Tier 2 <br />regional key truck corridor, and TH 51/Snelling Avenue (south of I-694) was <br />identified as a Tier 3 regional key truck corridor. In addition, nearby Old Highway <br />8, County Road E2 west of I-35W, and County Road H west of I-35W were <br />defined as regional key truck corridors. As defined in the Regional Truck <br />Highway Corridor Study, the interstate system serves as the freight backbone, <br />and other tiered roadways provide redundancy to the interstate system, as well <br />as provide door-to-door access to manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, <br />intermodal freight hubs, and ultimately, retailers and customers. <br /> <br />Figure 11.5 shows Heavy Commercial Average Annual Daily Traffic (HCAADT) <br />within Arden Hills on the Principal Arterial and “A” Minor Arterial system. Within <br />the City, the largest amount of heavy commercial vehicles travel on I-694 and I- <br />35W (14,000 and 7,000-9,000 trucks per day, respectively). <br /> Draft 03/07/2018
