<br />Transit and Other Modes of Transportation <br /> <br />15. Will this amendment enhance access to transit services, increase or decrease the demand for transit <br />services or warrant the extension of new transit service? <br /> <br />No, not currently served by transit or will not affect transit. <br /> <br />X Yes, list existing routes, describe changes and identify proposed/necessary transit facility improvements <br />(e.g. shelters, park and rides): <br /> <br />Metro Transit has been reducing service to this area. The only Metro Transit route is 275, which runs <br />approximately one mile from the site. Future Metro Transit planning includes the potential for a park and <br />ride location several miles north of the site. <br /> <br />Anoka County has no fixed route transit service in the area. Dial-A-Ride is available anywhere in Anoka <br />County. Anoka County has applied for funding to assist with the development of a park and pool or park <br />and ride site near the 1-35E interchange, approximately Y:z mile from the residential areas proposed on <br />the development site. <br /> <br />Additional development in the area has the potential to generate demand for additional transit services. <br />This will be analyzed as development progresses in Lino Lakes and Hugo as well as in communities to <br />the north. <br /> <br />16. Does the plan amendment include Traffic Demand Management (TOM) strategies or land use and urban <br />design measures, if applicable? <br /> <br />No, ex lain: <br /> <br />X Yes, describe (e.g. car and van pooling, flexible work hours, mixed land uses that discourage vehicle <br />trips and promote walking, biking, ridesharing, and transit): <br /> <br />The purpose of the amendment is to provide for a master plan for the 370 acres. This would include low <br />and medium density residential as well as 500,000+ sf of commercial space. The commercial <br />development will provide services to a large area and its proximity to the residential development will <br />reduce vehicle trips. Pedestrian and bicycle access to commercial services will be an important element <br />of site design. Another goal is to link to regional trail corridors to provide recreational and transportation <br />links to the re ional ark reserve as well as other arts of the communit and surroundin communities. <br /> <br />17. Does the plan amendment include pedestrian and bike access and facilities, including crosswalks, bridges, <br />trails, sidewalks, and bike racks, if applicable? <br /> <br />No, wh not: <br /> <br />X Yes, describe: <br /> <br />Pedestrian and bicycle access to commercial services will be an important element of site design. <br />Another goal is to link to regional trail corridors to provide recreational and transportation links to the <br />re ional ark reserve as well as other arts of the communi and surroundin communities. <br /> <br />September 2005 <br /> <br />7 <br />
