This <br />project is called "Unweave the Weave." <br />Not Started (planned): <br />• Connection of White Bear Parkway and Labore Road <br />• Realignment of the Otter Lake Road/County Road F connection <br />Another change within the City has been the closure of the access of Scheueneman Road on <br />the north side of Highway 61. <br />A proposed change that will be based on future development is the installation of a traffic <br />signal at the intersection of County Road E and International Drive. This will be coordinated <br />with the City of Vadnais Heights and Ramsey County when area growth dictates its necessity. <br />As with all roadway changes, the citizens of Gem Lake have expressed a desire for quality <br />design and construction that enhances rather than detracts from the existing natural <br />environment. <br />Traffic Forecast <br />Daily Traffic Counts <br />Year 00 <br />County Road E 19,000 24,000 <br />U.S. Highway 61 24,000 1 35,100 <br />* Year 2030 Daily Traffic Forecasts are from the Met Council Regional Traffic Forecast Model <br />The following socio-economic date was input into the model concerning Gem Lake.
