. ; . PROPOSED MINOR ARTERIALS Fairview Avenue (CSAH 48) from Larpenteur Avenue to County Road D County Road D (CSAH 19) from 1-3.5W to Fairview Aveooe County Road B2 (including portions of St. Croix Street and Terminal Road) (CSAH 79, CR II I) from T .H. 280 to Lexington Aveooe , Ramsey County Public Works Department proposes to reclassify Fairview Avenue from Larpenteur Avenue to County Road D (3.0.5 miles); County Road D from I-3.5W to Fairview Avenue (0..57 miles); County Road B2, St. Croix Street and Terminal Road from T.H. 280 to Lexington Avenue (3.19 miles). County Road B2 west of Cleveland Avenue, Terminal Road and 'St. Croix Street are under the jurisdiction of Roseville. An unnamed road that parallels T.H. 280 and connects to it and to St. Croix Street is included in this request and is under the jurisdiction of the Minnesota Department of Transportation. The named roads under Ramsey County's jurisdiction are currently classified as collectors. The roads under city jurisdiction are locals. The road under state jurisdiction is not classified. Ramsey County proposes that the roads be classified as minor arterials. One reason for this proposal is the recognition that Ramsey County's collector mileage . exceeds the suggested federal limitation for that classification. DEVELOPMENT CHANGES In the Metropolitan Council's recently adopted Development Framework, the area around Rosedale Shopping Center, including the area where functional classification changes are being proposed, is identified as a regional business concentration. Rosedale Shopping Center is bounded by Fairview Averue, County Road B2, Snelling Avenue and T.H. 36. The area is in the highest category defined, having retail sales of $100 million or more and employment exceeding 10,000. Additional economic development currently occurring in this area will result in greater transportation use in this area. During the past 18 months, two significant shopping centers have been completed directly north of the Rosedale Regional Shopping Center. These two centers, identified as the Loehmann's Plaza and Pavilion Place centers, are now nearly completely occupied and drawing a significant number of users. Due to their somewhat unique product mix, particularly Pavilion Place, patrons tend to have longer trip distances than most shopping centers would generate. In the future, considerably more traffic is anticipated along County Road B2 particularly west of Snelling Avenue. The most significant impact in reaching this conclusion is that Roseville is currently constructing a bridge over I-3.5W on County Road B2. This will link the area west of the freeway directly to the Rosedale area. Discussions are already taking place with developers for the construction of almost .500,000 square feet of offices at the western side of this new bridge. In addition, studies done by a consultant hired by the city indicate that there will be a general intensification of use . for the property between 1-3.5W and Fairview Aveooe in the next ten years. A similar forecast exists for the area west of I-3.5W north of the bridge where a reutilization
