City of Arden Hills - Comprehensive Plan - DRAFT <br />Blaine, and Moundsview. Arden Hills residents can access the route <br />from the park and ride lot in Moundsview along CR H, just west of I - <br />35W. Schedules vary from 15 to 30 minutes between trips during the <br />peak hours. It has 5 trips each peak hour during the weekdays only. <br />Aviation Plans/Facilities <br />There are no existing or planned aviation facilities within Arden Hills, but the <br />Anoka County/Blaine Airport is located approximately 1.5 miles northwest of the <br />City of Arden Hills, west of 1-35W and north of TH 10. <br />Railway <br />There is one railway line and a few rail spurs within the City of Arden Hills. The <br />rail line is active and operated by the Canadian Pacific Rail System (CPR) with <br />an average of four trains per day using the line. It runs east -west through the <br />southern portion of Arden Hills, north of County Road E with a speed threshold of <br />40 mph. The line includes a spur into the Red Fox business area. <br />There are two rail spurs that are operated by the Minnesota Commercial Railway <br />(MNNR). One spur accesses the Gateway Business District, while the other spur <br />is abandoned and runs into the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) <br />site, owned by the Army. Both spurs are intended to be removed in conjunction <br />with the redevelopment of the TCAAP site. <br />Ramsey County has Regional Rail Authority, which reviews, recommends, <br />proposes, and buys abandoned rail lines for future Light Rail Transit (LRT) <br />corridors. It has identified a transitway corridor through the northeast <br />metropolitan area. The Northeast Diagonal transitway corridor follows the <br />partially abandoned and existing Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad tracks <br />from northeast Minneapolis through St. Anthony, Roseville, Shoreview, Little <br />Canada, Vadnais Heights, Gem Lake, White Bear Township, and ending in White <br />Bear Lake. In the interim, these routes may be used for bike paths. The route <br />does not directly impact Arden Hills. <br />Pathways: Bikeways, Sidewalks and Trails <br />The 2002 Arden Hills Parks, Trails, and Open Space (PTOS) Plan evaluated the <br />existing bikeway, sidewalk and trail locations, and proposed a number of <br />expansion and upgrade opportunities. The PTOS Plan and the 2006 update to <br />the PTOS Plan can be found in Chapter 9 of this Comprehensive Plan. While the <br />pathway recommendations were included in a different chapter, the City <br />recognizes the importance of the pathway system and its contribution to the <br />City's overall transportation system. <br />DRAFT 58 <br />2/22/2008 <br />
