City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan Approved:, XXXX 11-22 of a frontage road to improve the safety and mobility of the corridor. Additional right-of-way should be acquired for future improvements as properties in the area develop or redevelop. The high crash locations along I-694 at I-35W, TH 10, and TH 51 should be partially rectified by recent and proposed improvements on I-35W and I-694 through the area. Further improvements should be studied with the Minnesota Department of Transportation and Ramsey County at the problem intersections. 11.3.3 Functional Classification Needs Due to the developed nature of the City of Arden Hills, together with the community’s pattern of water features and freeway facilities, there are minimal opportunities to expand the local roadway system in the developed areas of the City and develop additional continuous routes through the City. Two roadways, the Spine Road and Old Hwy 8, are proposed to provide access to the TCAAP redevelopment area as detailed below. As redevelopment occurs on the TCAAP property, the internal roadway system will be expanded to serve this area of the City. The internal roadway system for TCAAP will consist of a north/south A-Minor Expander arterial (referred to as the Spine Road) in addition to a network of local streets. The Spine Road will be consistent with County State Aid Standards (CSAH) for intersection spacing which is 1/4 mile minimum spacing for full access intersections and 1/8 minimum spacing for right-in/right-out accesses. The minor streets will primarily provide access to residences and private businesses. These local roads will be constructed on the property as future development occurs. Old Hwy 8 is identified as Major Collector roadway that provides access through the TCAAP property between County Road H and County Road I (CSAH 3). Old Hwy 8 outside of the TCAAP site is approximately 2,000 feet long extending from County Road I to the north TCAAP property line. Old Hwy 8 will be under the jurisdiction of Ramsey County and is also expected to be part of the County State Aid Highway system (CSAH 13). The proposed typical section consists of a single travel lane in each direction with a center median or left turn lane. The intersection control at County Road I is a single lane roundabout. Other roadway continuity improvements in Arden Hills are not anticipated. The City will review redevelopment plans with the option to consider opportunities to improve continuity or improve/consolidate accesses. Draft 03/07/2018
