City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br /> <br />Approved:, XXXX <br />11-23 <br /> <br />The City of Arden Hills does not support an additional road connection over <br />Interstate 35W between Interstate 694 and CSAH 96 due to the likely traffic <br />impact on Round Lake Road. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />11.3.4 Multimodal Transportation Opportunities <br /> <br />It is important for the community to plan for the ability to accommodate <br />multimodal activities (i.e. transit, pedestrian, and bicycle) on non-local roadways <br />to provide other opportunities to move about the City and beyond. <br /> <br />Transit Service <br /> <br />While significant changes to existing transit opportunities in Arden Hills are <br />not planned by the Metropolitan Council, the City recognizes the growing <br />need for transit services in Arden Hills, and the City supports exploring <br />additional transit options. With increasing fuel costs, worsening congestion, <br />and an aging population, the demand for transit will increase. <br /> <br />The City will continue to be supportive of the park-and-ride lots used by Arden <br />Hills’ residents, such as the lots on County Road H in Mounds View and at <br />Rosedale in Roseville. The City will evaluate the need for future park-n-ride <br />opportunities along with redevelopment proposals where feasible. <br /> <br />The City supports efforts to add or expand transit options to Northwestern <br />College, Bethel University, Mounds View High School, and employers, such <br />as Boston Scientific, Land O’ Lakes, and the businesses along Round Lake <br />Road and Gateway Boulevard. As the City’s population ages, the City will <br />continue to work with Metro Transit and senior community services to ensure <br />needs are being met. Para-transit, which is provided by Metro Mobility, is <br />also an important resource for members of the community, particularly the <br />disabled and seniors. <br /> <br />The Metropolitan Council 2040 Transportation Policy Plan does not show any <br />transitway investments planned within Arden Hills under the current revenue <br />scenario. Under the increased revenue scenario, two corridors within Arden <br />Hills are identified: A Line BRT Extension and I-35W North Transitway. <br />These two corridors are discussed below and are shown in Figure 11.4. <br /> <br /> Draft 03/07/2018
