City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br /> <br />Approved:, XXXX <br />11-21 <br />11.3.2 Roadway Safety & Mobility Needs <br /> <br />Many of the roadways within and adjacent to the City of Arden Hills are in need <br />of capacity improvements by 2040 due to the anticipated growth throughout the <br />area. This is due not only to growth within the City of Arden Hills but also growth <br />within adjacent cities and other cities along the freeway and highway corridors. <br />With this increase in development and increase in traffic, an increase in <br />congestion is expected for most roadways throughout Arden Hills. Improvements <br />are recommended for Hamline Avenue, Lexington Avenue, Old Highway 10, and <br />the interstate freeways. The expansion and reconstruction of I-694 will improve <br />operations, especially from I-35W to TH 10, even with the increased traffic <br />expected by 2040. The other areas of I-694 will likely be congested as much as <br />they are today by 2040. Since the primary roadways providing significant <br />mobility within the City of Arden Hills are county and state roadways, the City will <br />need to coordinate with the State and County on roadway improvements. <br /> <br />Collector roadways carrying greater than 1,500 vehicles per day have volumes <br />that tend to create potential conflicts between vehicles, bicycles, and <br />pedestrians. The City, in cooperation with Ramsey County, will need to monitor <br />pedestrian and bicycle issues, crashes, near misses, and complaints, and <br />prioritize roadway improvements with pavement rehabilitation needs. Strategies <br />to improve safety and mobility will be considered, including the consideration of <br />adding pedestrian facilities at intersections, non-motorized facilities both along <br />and separate from roadways, additional roadway width for wider lanes or <br />shoulders, or when possible, turn lanes to City collector roadways intersecting <br />with County roadways. To accommodate necessary turn lanes or roadway <br />widening, additional right-of-way may be required at the intersection. As <br />reconstruction of aging infrastructure is pursued on City collector streets the <br />recommended geometric design standards will assist in improving safety and <br />mobility (Appendix B). <br /> <br />Additionally, as traffic volumes approaching an intersection increase, an <br />intersection control evaluation may be necessary. Triggers for an evaluation may <br />include an increase in correctable crashes or an unacceptable traffic back up. <br />Higher volume roadways that could show traffic signal benefits are under the <br />jurisdiction of the County. As the jurisdictional authority, the County would make <br />decisions on appropriate traffic control. The intersection control evaluation would <br />identify the traffic control option (e.g. all way stop, roundabout, possible <br />signalization) and capacity improvements (e.g. turn lanes) necessary to <br />accommodate the traffic volumes in a safe and efficient manner. Future <br />reconstruction may require modifications of existing access to include strategies <br />such as access consolidation, right–in, right–out access only, or the development Draft 03/07/2018
