Minor arterials are intended to COlmect important locations within the City of Roseville with access points on the metropolitan highway system and with important locations outside the City of Roseville. These arterials are also intended to carry short to medium h'ips that would otherwise use the regional system. When combined with principal arterials, these become the core system for the City and are expected to carry the greatest amount of traffic. a. A-Minor Arterials Minor Arterial roadways are further classified as A-Minor Arterials and B-Minor Arterials. The A-Minor Arterials are those which are identified in the City of Roseville by the Metropolitan Council as "reliever" routes. These provide direct relief and support for congested principal arterials (1-35W, TH 36, TH 280.and I-35E). The Council channels federal funding support for improvements to A- Minor Arterials. Nine routes within or at the boundary of the City are designated as A-Minor arterials (See Figure Trans-2): 1. Larpenteur Avenue: This east-west route runs along the southern City boundary between Hamline Ave and Rice Street. Beyond the City, the route continues to the west to intersect with TH 280 in the City of Lauderdale. It serves as a reliever for TH 36. 2. County Road B: This A-Minor Arterial runs from TH 280 on the west to Rice Street on the east. This route has been elevated from a collector to an A-Minor Arterial since the adoption of the 1979 Comprehensive Plan. It serves as a reliever for TH 36. 3. County Road C: This route runs east-west through center of the community, from the west City limits to Rice street. It has an interchange with I-35W. It relieves congestion on TH 36. 4. County Road D: County Road D is an east-west roadway that carries the A-Minor Arterial classification between Cleveland Avenue and the western city boundary. It relieves congestion on TH 36.
