IMPLEMENTATION • would allow for more near-term development in the East Elk River Gateway sub area to the east of Highway ~o~~6g. This new signal would also mean the construction of additional supporting roadways. The first, on the east side of Highway ~0~~69 would be the extension of a collector roadway from Twin Lakes Parkway through the Cargill property to connect with 65th Avenue to provide full access to Cargill's operations and the Youth Athletic Complex. On the west side of the highway, a frontage road would be constructed adjacent to the right-of-way of Highway io~i69 within a existing access easement. Additionally, a connection running north and south along the west side of Highway ~0~~69 is needed for access to business, residents and fire safety. East Elk River Gateway The city-owned Gateway land is green field land offers the greatest opportunity for early development in the FAST. Significant investment will be need for utilities and roadway infrastructure. Adevelopment goal will be to creating enough development intensity required to generate financial resources to assist in achieving the vision here in other parts of the FAST. Other districts will involve challenging but necessary acquisition and demolition, as well as infrastructure and amenity investments. The East Elk River Gateway sub area east of Highway io~~6g will establish the future development pattern and character for the i7ist Avenue FAST. The Hinge The Hinge sub area is the likely location for commercial and retail uses to development in the immediate future. Establishing an internal roadway network through the sub area will facilitate the proper traffic circulation between the extended Twin Lakes Parkway and i7ist Avenue. The organization and design of the development here will set the tone for the future development character throughout much of the FAST and will include streetscape identity, trails and wetland mitigation. fL TT1SC.
