Centerville 2040 <br /> During peak traffic, minor arterials in developing areas are intended to maintain <br /> 30 mph average speeds. As a result, transportation system connections are <br /> limited to interstate freeways, other principal arterials, other minor arterials, <br /> collectors, and some local streets. Land access is limited to concentrations of <br /> commercial and industrial land uses. The Metropolitan Council has established <br /> a system of"A" Minor and "B" Minor arterials. "A" Minor arterials are eligible for <br /> federal funding administered by the Metropolitan Council. <br /> The Metropolitan Council has further split "A" Minor arterials into four types, <br /> described below: <br /> • Relievers: Arterials located parallel to congested principal arterials. The <br /> purpose of "A" Minor Relievers is to provide additional capacity in <br /> congested corridors. <br /> • Augmenters: Arterials that supplement the principal arterials system <br /> within urban centers and urban communities. <br /> • Expanders: Arterials that supplement principal arterials in less-densely <br /> developed areas of the metro area. <br /> • Connectors: Arterials that provide connections between rural towns <br /> and connect rural areas with the principal arterial system. <br /> A Functional Classification Map of the City's Road and Highway System is <br /> included as Map 6-1. Interstate 35E (a principal arterial) is located just east of <br /> the City limits. A full interchange with Anoka County State Aid Highway 14 <br /> (CSAH 14) provides interstate access to the City. <br /> Running east-west through the downtown area,CSAH 14 is the City's most used <br /> "A-Minor Arterial". The A-minor designation is further defined for this roadway <br /> as an "Expander". CSAH 14 is currently and planned to remain a three-lane <br /> roadway. The city's only other A-minor arterial is CSAH 54 which is currently <br /> and planned to remain a two-lane roadway running north-south along the <br /> City's eastern edge. It is considered an A-minor Reliever for its role as a <br /> frontage road to 35E. Both A-minor arterials are under county jurisdiction. The <br /> county also has a B-minor Arterial; CSAH 21 running north-south along the <br /> City's western edge and leading into the downtown where it terminates at CSAH <br /> 14. <br /> Chapter 6 1 Page 4 <br />
