City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br /> <br />Approved:, XXXX <br />11-24 <br />A Line BRT Extension <br /> <br />Ramsey County plans to redevelop the TCAAP site into a net-zero energy, <br />mixed-use, high-density transit oriented development with the A Line <br />connecting the site to the region’s high frequency transit network. In 2016, <br />Metro Transit evaluated the feasibility of extending the A Line BRT route from <br />Rosedale Center to TCAAP. As part of the study, a recommended alignment <br />for the A Line extension was defined using Snelling Avenue, County Road E, <br />Lexington Avenue, County Road 96, and the Spine Road at TCAAP (see <br />Figure 11.8). The study identified that resources are currently not available <br />and ridership is unlikely support an immediate A Line extension. However, <br />the City, Ramsey County, private developers, and Metro Transit can plan for <br />and implement transit oriented development and other transit ready <br />infrastructure to support the A Line BRT extension to TCAAP. Study <br />recommendations include: <br /> <br />• Include transit ready infrastructure and amenities in road <br />reconstruction plans <br />• Continued development of pedestrian friendly street designs <br />• Evaluate using existing resources to provide more transit service <br />• Construct needed bus system infrastructure for service growth <br />• Plan for changes in density and land use patterns through <br />comprehensive plan updates <br /> Draft 03/07/2018
