a schedule. With the Twin Lakes Phase 1 project, the City of Roseville has planned construction of Twin Lakes Parkway in 2005-2006. Twin Lakes Parkway will provide east-west access through Phase 1 (known as the Rottlund Master Plan) north of County Road C. In the future, the City will continue to work with MnDOT on the interchange of northbound 1-35W and County Road C/Cleveland Avenue. This intersection has been planned for modification to eliminate the loop to westbound County Road C (as per the original BRW/URS Study of 1997). The interchange and stop light would serve as the west leg of the Cleveland Avenue/Twin Lakes Parkway intersection. The Minnesota Department of Transportation's 200_ Metro TranspOltation System Plan and the Metropolitan Council's 200_ Transportation Development Guide include long-term improvements to both TH 36 and 1-35W. The improvements are included in implementation staging for the 2016-2025 time period and would likely include improved access ramps, bridge improvements, and one additional through-lane of capacity. Existing and Planned Transit Services Metro Transit is completing a major restructuring of transit services in the northeast portion of the Metropolitan Area. Primary service coverage to the study area has consisted of Routes _, _, and _' Route 224 offers mid-day dial- a-ride "route deviation" flexible service on an hourly frequency along the Snelling Avenue corridor to Shoreview. Route 225 offers service every 30 minutes to the Rosedale transit hub along County Road C and Lincoln Drive to the Northwestern College area. Route 801 is a crosstown service between the Brookdale and Rosedale areas operating 30 minute peak and 60 minute offpeak service frequencies. The Metropolitan Council's Transit Master Plan has included a "Mimleapolis East" busway corridor between White Bear Lake and downtown Minneapolis following the railroad alignn1ent that parallels County Road C. This busway is not planned for implementation until at least the year 2010 and is predicated on the abandomnent of the railroad alignn1ent and completion of future studies to determine busway feasibility. Transportation Study Traffic information and assumptions for Twin Lakes were based on the Twin Cities regional travel forecast model in conjunction with information from the City of Roseville's Transportation Plan, the Twin Lakes traffic revisions to the 2001 AUAR done in 2004, the AUAR projects, and 2001 Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) on the Centre Pointe Business Park-Veritas Software project, and a 1997 EA W on proposed development of a portion of the 2
