Elk River Comprehensive Plan <br /> Jurisdiction <br /> Jurisdiction refers to the agency that owns and maintains a particular roadway. The <br /> 0,ii o,?t roadway network in Elk River is owned and maintained primarily by three governmental <br /> agencies; the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), Sherburne County and <br /> n a the City of Elk River. MnDOT is responsible for interstate roadways (1), trunk highways (TH <br /> F- 101) and US highways (US 169 and US 10). Sherburne County is responsible for county <br /> O� roads (CR 30, 32, 33, 34, 35, 40, 44, 79, and 121) and county state aid highways (CSAH <br /> roFTRP�yQ 1, 12, 13, and 33). Most of the remaining streets are under the jurisdiction of the City of <br /> Elk River. It should be noted that there are some roadways that are privately owned and <br /> maintained by a neighborhood association. These roadways are paid for by the property <br /> NEC owners and the property owners are responsible for plowing the streets in the winter and <br /> w � repairing the roadways when they need to be fixed. <br /> The Sherburne County transportation plan identifies potential jurisdictional transfers for the <br /> future. No timing has been identified, but the following roadways have been identified to be <br /> C transferred to the City of Elk River: CR 121; CSAH 33 between Jarvis Street/Twin Lakes <br /> Road and 205th Avenue; CR 44/35 between western city limits and US 10. <br /> EP <br /> In addition to these changes, the County has identified future roadways that it would <br /> operate and maintain within the City of Elk River. These changes include: 221 st Avenue <br /> with a future connection to CR 33 to the west and to the eastern city limits to the east; <br /> �� 193rd Avenue; and Fillmore Street with a new connection to Jarvis Street (includes Jarvis <br /> Elk Street). The county plan also identifies new county connections that currently do not <br /> .��� exist and are not yet a part of the roadway network. These routes include a new CSAH <br /> RiVer 33 connection between 205th Avenue and Twin Lakes Road (CSAH 13) and a new CR 32 <br /> extension between Elk Lake Road (CSAH 1) and the CSAH 33/CR 77 intersection. Figure <br /> 6-2: Sherburne County Identified Jurisdictional Changes shows the proposed changes. <br /> Functional Classification <br /> As drivers, people are aware that roadways serve different purposes. Some roadways <br /> accommodate high traffic volumes and have few points to enter and exit roadway. Others <br /> have multiple locations where vehicles can enter and exit and have lower speeds. The <br /> purpose or function that a roadway provides is known as functional classification. A <br /> roadway's functional classification identifies its role in the roadway hierarchy used by <br /> agencies and planning officials to manage access, setback and other design-related features <br /> of a roadway. It also influences the types of land use and development in an area. For <br /> example, a Principal Arterial generally has higher traffic volumes and speeds. It is intended <br /> to get people through an area and sever a larger travel shed. Developments that would <br /> result in numerous individual driveways or homes along this type of corridor would be <br /> discouraged for safety, mobility and noise reasons. <br /> Figure 6-3: Existing Functional Classification shows existing functional classification. <br /> 48 / Chapter 6: Transportation <br />
