<br />City of Arden HllIs - Comprehensive Plan - DRAFT <br /> <br />pedestrians. The City, in cooperation with Ramsey County, will need to monitor <br />pedestrian and bicycle issues, crashes, near misses, and complaints, and <br />prioritize roadway improvements with pavement rehabilitation needs. Strategies <br />to improve safety and mobility will be considered, including the consideration of <br />adding pedestrian facilities at intersections, non-motorized facilities both along <br />and separate from roadways, additional roadway width for wider lanes or <br />shoulders, or when possible, turn lanes to City collector roadways intersecting <br />with County roadways. To accommodate necessary turn lanes or roadway <br />widening, additional right-of-way may be required at the intersection. As <br />reconstruction of aging infrastructure is pursued on City collector streets the <br />recommended geometric design standards will assist in improving safety and <br />mobility. <br /> <br />Additionally, as traffic volumes approaching an intersection increase, an <br />intersection control evaluation may be necessary. Triggers for an evaluation may <br />include an increase in correctable crashes or an unacceptable traffic back up. <br />Higher volume roadways that could show traffic signal benefits are under the <br />jurisdiction of the County. As the jurisdictional authority, the County would make <br />decisions on appropriate traffic control. The intersection control evaluation would <br />identify the traffic control option (e.g. all way stop, roundabout, possible <br />signalization) and capacity improvements (e.g. turn lanes) necessary to <br />accommodate the traffic volumes in a safe and efficient manner. Future <br />reconstruction may require modifications of existing access to include strategies <br />such as access consolidation, right-in, right-{)ut access only, or the development <br />of a frontage road to improve the safety and rnobility of the corridor. Additional <br />right-of-way should be acquired for future improvements as properties in the area <br />develop or redevelop. <br /> <br />The high crash locations along 1-694 at 1-35W, TH 10, and TH 51 should be <br />partially rectified by the proposed improvements on 1-694 through the area. This <br />improvement includes additional lanes, and the improvement of the TH 51 ramp <br />access to eastbound 1-694, one of the highest crash locations in the Arden Hills <br />area. Further improvements should be studied with the Minnesota Department of <br />Transportation and Ramsey County at the interchange ramps and intersections. <br /> <br />The current proposed interchange on TH 10 should improve the operations along <br />TH 10 and also CSAH 96 near TH 10. This interchange would enable a <br />separation of the traffic on each corridor, improving operations to both. <br /> <br />11.3.3 Functional Classification Needs <br /> <br />Due to the developed nature of the City of Arden Hills, together with the <br />community's pattern of water features and freeway facilities, there are minimal <br /> <br />DRAFT <br />5/15/2008 <br /> <br />88 <br />
