Gem Lake maintains 2.1 miles (approximately 31 percent) of the total <br />mileage. The remaining roads are under state or private jurisdiction. <br />Public Transit <br />Gem Lake is located in transit market area III. This City is presently served by Lake Area Bus <br />which provides call -in service from 6:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. Monday through Friday. <br />Transfers are available from this service to mainline Metro Transit and Northeast Suburban <br />Transit bus routes. <br />In addition, for those who have disabilities, special transportation services are available <br />through the Lions Club. <br />Airports <br />There are no airports, proposed airport sites, search areas, or other related facilities located in <br />Gem Lake. The City is served by the Minneapolis -St. Paul International Airport and the St. <br />Paul Downtown Airport. In addition, a private, small aircraft airport is located in White Bear <br />Township, approximately five miles north of Gem Lake. <br />The airports have no direct impact on the City of Gem Lake, and any development in Gem <br />Lake will have no impact on the regional aviation system. <br />The City Clerk/Administrator will notify the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the <br />Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) of any structure to be constructed within <br />Gem Lake that may affect navigable airspace. <br />There presently are no structures in Gem Lake that are 200 feet or greater in height. The <br />existing zoning ordinance does not allow any sign or building to exceed 36 feet in height. <br />While the height limitation of 36 feet does not apply to such structures as transmission towers <br />for commercial radio broadcasting station or television antennas, these would both require <br />special use permits. <br />Future Roadway System <br />Roadway Changes <br />The I-35E Corridor Study recommended roadway changes within Gem Lake and the <br />immediate area. The following information briefly summarizes the status of each <br />recommendation. <br />SEH <br />6.0 transportation plan I page 36 <br />
