COUNTY ROAD E & OLD SNELLING AVENUE ICE PAGE 2 WSB PROJECT NO. 011498-000 CITY OF ARDEN HILLS Introduction The purpose of this report is to evaluate the traffic control and intersection lane geometry necessary for the intersection of County Road E and Old Snelling Avenue in the City of Arden Hills in Ramsey County, Minnesota. This report will document the existing conditions, operations and safety. It will also analyze existing and proposed intersection geometry using projected traffic volumes. Description of Location County Road E is an undivided two-lane arterial roadway at the intersection with Old Snelling Avenue. County Road E begins on the west along the Ramsey County border at NE Stinson Parkway, is interrupted by Tony Schmidt Regional Park, and forms again at the study intersection. County Road E then runs east and turns into Soo Street near I- 694. County Road E resumes east of Centerville Road and becomes TH 244 (Wildwood Road) at the Washington County border. County Road E connects the Cities of New Brighton, Arden Hills, and Shoreview, and to the east Vadnais Heights and Gem Lake in Ramsey County. Josephine Road (CSAH 149), which forms the west leg of the study intersection, is an arterial that runs around the north and west sides of Lake Johanna, and eventually becomes Fairview Avenue at County Road D. Old Snelling Avenue is an undivided two-lane collector roadway at the intersection with County Road E. Old Snelling Avenue begins in the south at Snelling Avenue (TH 51) and terminates to the north at County State-Aid Highway (CSAH) 96. This roadway provides access primarily to residential streets and multiple schools in the City of Arden Hills. Old Snelling Avenue is designated as CSAH 76 to the north of County Road E. The project location within the context of the surrounding area is represented in Figure 1.
