. FUTURE TRANSPORTATION The future transportation routes in Dayton will strongly depend on the types of land uses that are created within the City. The transportation system will be geared to move people into Dayton, through Dayton, and out of Dayton. The movement of people, goods, and services in Dayton will be extremely important in the future of Dayton. Setting aside road right-of-way now will maximize transportation efficiencies in the future. An interchange is proposed on Interstate 94 in the southwest comer of the City between 2003-2008. It is thought that this proposed interchange will attract businesses to the Southwestern part of Dayton because of the creation of more convenient transportation routes. The traffic from this interchange is expected to move onto County Road 81, Old Highway 101, or County Road 13 / Brockton Lane. The major north / south route through the southern part of Dayton is expected to shift west. The existing power lines mark the area in which this future road would be proposed. The thought is that the increase in development and population in the southern area can not adequately be serviced by existing County Road 121 / Fernbrook Lane. Road right-of-way will be set aside as this area begins to develop. Zanzibar Lane is also projected to become a more heavily traveled road when development begins to occur. The road will someday be paved to accommodate the travelers. . The re-alignment of County Road 12/ Dayton River Road from the Old Village area east to almost County Road 144 / North Diamond Lake Road has been proposed. The road would be shifted slightly to the south in most stretches. This is to eliminate sharp comers, steep slopes, and blind spots along the existing roads. As this area begins to develop. here to road right-of-way will be set aside accordingly. This Plan also shows two possible river bridge crossings on the map. Both of these sites line up with Ramsey's proposed transportation plan. It is the intent to choose one of these sites in the next few years. While Dayton, may not need a river bridge crossing now, future development in Dayton and the surrounding areas may warrant the need. By showing these locations on the map, Dayton can properly plan for a bridge that would most suit the long-term needs of the community. Road right-of-way will be set aside for a road to accommodate this proposed bridge. This proposed road would end up at either one of two places~ the proposed interchange on Interstate 94, or future Highway 610 in Maple Grove. Future Highway 610 is well on its way to being completed. Funding has been approved for all stretches of the road. Road right-of-way has been properly set aside and secured. While this road will never physically be in Dayton, the community will feel the effects. The road will run through northern Brooklyn Park, touch Osseo's northern boundary, and through northern Maple Grove. The road will start in Coon Rapids and end up in Maple Grove on Interstate 94. This road will provide better and more efficient east-west travel through the northern metro area. .
