Centerville 2040 Chapter 6: Transportation <br /> PLANNED IMPROVEMENTS TO I'EGI®NAL I (IGHWAY SYSTEM <br /> None of the planned improvements to the metropolitan highway system listed <br /> in the Transportation Policy Plan directly affect the City of Centerville. <br /> In the fall of 2007, CSAH 14 began reconstruction. The roadway was <br /> reconstructed over a 3-year period from I-35W to I-35E. The improvements <br /> included the addition of a center turn lane throughout the downtown area. <br /> Additionally, a median restricts access at several locations on the east end of <br /> the City. In response to this, the City planned and constructed a "Backage <br /> Road" to connect 21" Ave. with 20th Ave., allowing better access to local <br /> businesses and a way for locals to move throughout town without having to <br /> make U-turns. <br /> The City anticipates a similar style reconstruction of CSAH 21 in the three <br /> block area of downtown. This project will likely be initiated by the City through <br /> its downtown redevelopment plan. <br /> The City has a number of planned improvements to its local collector road <br /> system. Those improvements are shown on Map 6-1. These improvements <br /> will be made as development occurs. <br /> Improvement Description Sta e <br /> Connection between Land Use and Transportation <br /> The City recognizes the connection between land use, natural resource <br /> protection and transportation planning. City policies guide land use to be <br /> compatible with both existing natural resources as well as local and regional <br /> transportation facilities. <br /> The City's downtown redevelopment will be served by the newly <br /> reconstructed/expanded CSAH 14 and the future reconstruction of CSAH 21. <br /> Additionally, the guiding of property on the south side of Main Street (CSAH <br /> Chapter 6 1 Page 8 <br /> 40 <br />
