Centerville 2040 ° C: <br /> and objectives. The increased revenue scenario would allow additional <br /> investments in operations and maintenance, as well as regional mobility, access, <br /> safety, and bicycle/pedestrian improvements. However, congestion cannot be <br /> greatly reduced under even the increased revenue scenario. Under both <br /> scenarios, proposed investments are focused on areas of the metro with the <br /> greatest existing and future challenges and anticipated growth. <br /> The Metropolitan Council classifies Centerville under the Emerging Suburban <br /> Edge Community Designation. Based on Thrive MSP2040, Emerging Suburban <br /> Edge areas are expected to plan for forecasted population and household <br /> growth at average densities of at least three to five units per acre for new <br /> development and redevelopment. These communities are also expected to <br /> target opportunities for more intensive development near regional transit <br /> investments when available. <br /> The functional classification system groups roadways into classes based on <br /> roadway function and purpose. Functional classification is based on both <br /> transportation and land use characteristics, including roadway speeds, access <br /> to adjacent land, connection to important land uses, and the length of trips <br /> taken on the roadway. <br /> Four classes of roadways are included in the seven-county metropolitan area <br /> functional classification system: principal arterials, minor arterials, collector <br /> streets, and local streets. Map 6-1 shows the existing and planned functional <br /> classification of each road in the City of Centerville. The following sections <br /> describe each functional class in greater detail and indicate which roadways fall <br /> into each classification. <br /> Minor Arterials <br /> Minor arterials maintain a focus on mobility, but provide more land access than <br /> principal arterials. Minor arterials are intended to serve trips of four to eight <br /> miles in length.Within developing areas of the metro,these facilities are spaced <br /> between one and two miles apart. Minor arterials connect cities and towns <br /> within the region and link to regional business and commercial concentrations. <br /> Access points along minor arterials are generally at-grade and typically <br /> controlled.with.signals.or..stop.signs........................................................... <br /> Chapter 6 1 Page 3 <br />
