Transportation Plan Goals A list of roadway improvement actions was developed for Elk River by examining the existing and/or forecast traffic operations, safety, and functional class issues and deficiencies identified in the previous chapters. Improvement actions were developed that are expected to alleviate these issues and generally improve traffic mobility and safety. Table 10 describes the improvement actions recommended and the objectives that each action is expected to achieve. TABLE I SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ROADWAY IMPROVEMENT ACTIONS Roadway Improvement Action Recommendation Objective Work with Mn/DOT to implement improvements identified · Eliminate/reduce existing TH 10 from east in TH 10 CMP or to develop a new improvement vehicle crashes and city limits to west alternative(s). Likely improvement candidates include congestion. city limits, conversion to 6-lane expressway or 4-lane freeway. A TH 10 · Eliminate/reduce future bypass is not a likely option, congestion. Work with Mn/DOT to implement improvements identified · Eliminate/reduce existing TH 169 from north in TH 169 CMP or to develop a new improvement vehicle crashes and city limits to south alternative(s). Likely improvement candidates include a 4-lane congestion. city limits, freeway. A TH 169 bypass is apotentid option. Bypass may · Eliminate/reduce future join existing TH 169 alignment in northern Elk River. congestion. · Eliminate/reduce existing CSAH 1 Expand roadway to a 4-lane divided arterial with right and left vehicle crashes. (Proctor Ave) from turn lanes at key intersections. · Eliminate/reduce expected CR 77 to TH 10 future congestion. CSAH 13 Expand roadway and add right and left mm lanes at key (Twin Lakes Rd) intersections. Number of additional lanes constructed may · Eliminate/reduce existing from Twin Lakes vary depending on completion of adjacent roadway vehicle crashes and expected Road to CR 31 improvements. Conduct a corridor study to specifically future congestion. (Viking Blvd) determine what improvements should be implemented. Expand roadway and add right and left mm lanes at key CR 31 intersections. Number of additional lanes constructed may (Viking blvd) vary depending on planned improvements for continuation of · Eliminate/reduce expected from CSAH 13 to roadway in Anoka County. Conduct a corridor study to future congestion. east city limits specifically determine what improvements should be implemented.
