<br />. <br /> <br />POTENTIAL FUTURE <br />TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS <br /> <br />1. County Road 44 (Meadowvale Road) Reconstruction <br /> <br />As the Gty is completing the negotiation for the turnback of County Road 40 and the <br />reconstruction of that particular roadway, County Road 44 would be a likely candidate to <br />pursue the same course of action on in the future. County Road 44 runs north from 1H <br />10 at Upland Avenue along the Meadowvale Road alignment to Q;AH 1. <br /> <br />2. School Street Safety Study <br /> <br />In June of 2001, a safety study of measures that could be taken to mitigate potential <br />traffic concerns on School Street, particularly in the area of the Senior High School, was <br />undertaken. Although some of the recommendations have been implemented, the entire <br />safety study has not been implemented. This could be implemented easily in the future. <br /> <br />3. Widening of Zane Avenue Through Elk River Crossing <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />There has been much discussion regarding the width of Zane Avenue through the Elk <br />River Crossing Commercial development which contains Wal- Mart, Home Depot, and <br />many smaller commercial entities. We are currently working with Wal-Mart Corporation <br />to acquire more right-of-way/ easement, should this widening of the roadway be <br />undertaken in the future. At this point, no direction has been given as to either widening <br />and/ or studying the widening of Zane Avenue through this commercial area. <br /> <br />4. Elk Hills Drive Corridor Study <br /> <br />The Transportation Plan identifies the future need for a roadway corridor from School <br />Street and 1H 169 easterly to Q;AH 13. This is a corridor study/public involvement <br />process that could be undertaken. <br /> <br />5. 193rd Avenue Corridor Study for Easterly Extension <br /> <br />Another corridor that is anticipated to be needed in the future according to the <br />Transportation Plan is the extension easterly of 193rd Avenue as it comes through the <br />Hillside Estates Addition over to Tyler Street and onto Q;AH 13. This is another <br />corridor study that could be undertaken at anytime. <br /> <br />6. Corridor Study for Q;AH 33 to County Road 31 at Anoka County Line <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />We have heard for many years that there is potential for County Road 22 in Anoka <br />County to be turned back to MnDOT and converted to a highway in the future. If that <br />happens, it would bring a substantial amount of traffic to the Sherburne County/Elk <br />River eastern boundary. One of the corridors that the Transportation Plan anticipates <br />needing to accommodate this traffic is a corridor from County Road 31 at Sherburne <br />County/Elk River eastern boundary to Q;AH 33 and on to the interchange at 1H 169. <br />This of course is a Sherburne County road alignment, but the Gty could certainly take <br />
