Freight - Chapter 8 <br />Most aspects of freight movement are controlled by the private sector, so unlike ogler sections of the <br />TPR there is not a specific plan adopted for future public sector investment in freight fa ci lilies . <br />However, the discussion of the need for a safe and efficient multirnodal freight system has been <br />updated and expanded I nP the TPP to recognize challenges and opportunities for freight movement as <br />well as the future direction of freight by- mode. It acknowledges the closure of the Minneapolis Upper <br />Harbor in 2015, 169V'ing St Paul and Shakopee as the region's major barge terminal areas in the future. <br />The plan also acknowledges the increase of trains since 2010 carrying oil from North Dakota on BNSF <br />and CP rail tracks, which is expected to continue into the future. Although railroad trackage in the <br />region was significantly decreased over the last 20 years to `right size" the system after federal <br />deregulation, communities should not expect much additional rail abandonment. Many tracks that <br />appear to be seldom used are owned by the smaller Class III railroads that serve local businesses by <br />providing direct rail connections from manufacturing and warehousing/distribution facilities to the major <br />national railroads. The major Class I railroads are approaching capacity and actually adding tracks in <br />some locations. <br />system Plan Considerations Affecting Your Community <br />Centerville should consult the complete 2040 Transportation Policy Plan in preparing its I oca l <br />comprehensive plan. In addition, Centerville should consult Thrive MSP 2040 and the current version of <br />the Metropolitan Council's L2M Ekanin a► dbo ok for specific information needed in i#s <br />comprehensive plan. Specific system plan considerations affecting Centerville are detailed below. <br />Metropolitan Highways <br />There are no principal arterials located within Centerville. <br />Transit System <br />Centerville includes the following Transit Market Areas: <br />Maw Area lv Transit Market Area IV has lower concentrations of population and employment <br />and a higher rate of auto ownership. It is primarily composed of Suburban Edge <br />and Emerging Suburban Edge communities. This market can support peak -period <br />express bus services if a sufficient concentration of commuters likely to use <br />transit service is located along a corridor. The lour -density development and <br />suburban form of development presents challenges to fixed -route transit. General <br />i public dial services are appropriate in Market Area Ill. <br />- - _ .. .,,.......�....._...._..._ ......_..F .._ ww-_ -.,_ .,_ - - .... _ ._ - _ - - - - - . - . - . - - <br />Centerville should identify and reap existing transit services and facilities in the local comprehensive <br />plan. Centerville should also work with transit providers serving their community to identify potential <br />future transit service options and facilities that are consistent with the TPP and the applicable Transit <br />Market Areas. Communities can find further maps and guidance for transit planning in the <br />Transportation section of the LocW PlannM Haadhgp <br />Transitways <br />Current Revenue Scenario Transitways <br />The TPP's Transit Investment Plan does not show any transitway investments planned for Centerville in <br />the Current Revenue Scenario (TPP Figure 6-8). <br />Page - 9 1 2015 SYSTEM STATEMENT — CENTERVILLE TRANSPORTATION <br />
