<br /> - ------- <br /> , <br /> STREETS AND TRAFFIC CONTROLS <br /> The Comprehensive Plan classifies the streets and highways in and around <br /> the study area as follows: <br /> l. I-694: Principal arterial <br /> 2. Hamline/State Trunk Highway 51-125: Major arterial <br /> 3. Lexington and County Road E: Minor arterial <br /> 4. Grey Fox, Red Fox, Dunlap and Hamline Frontage Roads: Coll ectors <br /> Traffic controls are as follows: <br /> l. All street intersections with Lexington Avenue and County Road E e <br /> either are signalized now or will be this year, except the east leg <br /> of Connelly Street. <br /> 2. Stop signs at all other street intersections. <br /> 3. Left-turn lane (both directions) for entire length of Lexington <br /> Avenue and County Road E. <br /> 4. Northwoods Drive is intended to extend to the west and south to Red <br /> Fox Road--as proposed in Preliminary Plat. <br /> 5. Traffic volumes, both current and projected, are shown for the <br /> primary street and highway systems. <br /> IMPACT: <br /> The area has excellent access from the metropolitan highway system and <br /> from the more local system of arterials. The collector street pattern <br /> is straight-forward and provides generally excellent access to private <br /> properties. Direct access from private properties to Lexington Avenue <br /> will present increasing problems with increasing traffic. Ramsey County <br /> feels it can handle all the traffic we can generate within the area by <br /> making capacity improvements to Lexington Avenue. The County's concern i <br /> is for limiting ac ces s to private properties and therefore limiting <br /> turning movements and conflict points. . <br /> -18- <br />
