<br />Park-and-Ride Facilities <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Currently there are two formal park-and-ride facilities located in Stearns County available to <br />commuters. One is located at 1-94 and CSAH 2 in St. Joseph; the other is located at 1-94 and <br />CSAH 10 in Albany. MnlDOT was responsible in part for the creation of these lots and is <br />currently working with the City of St. Cloud, the MTC and the Counties of Benton, Steams and <br />Sherburne to create a formal network of park-and-ride facilities in the region. Commuters in the <br />St. Cloud area are also taking advantage of an informal park-and-ride facility located at 1-94 and <br />CSAH 75 in St. Cloud. Currently no transit connections are available at these locations. <br /> <br />Sherburne County <br /> <br />Transit Services <br /> <br />Sherburne County is primarily rural and agricultural in nature therefore transit services are <br />limited. The RiverRider Heartland Express provides door-to-door service to the general public <br />serving Sherburne County and select communities in Wright County. The service operates on a <br />dial-a-ride basis in addition to flexible semi-fixed service. Sherburne County also provides a <br />volunteer transportation program to eligible residents providing trips to medical appointments <br />within the County. <br /> <br />Park and Ride Facilities <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Currently there are few park-and-ride facilities available to commuters in Sherburne County. <br />Existing facilities are located at the MnlDOT Traveler Information Center south of St. Cloud <br />along TH 10, a municipal parking lot along TH 10 in the city of Becker and the MnlDOT park- <br />and-ride lot located at TH 169 in Elk River. <br /> <br />Transit connections at these facilities are not available at this time, however Sherburne County is <br />working with MnlDOT, Counties, Cities and agencies located along the THIO and 1-94 corridors <br />to create a formal network of park-and-ride facilities in the region. It is anticipated that several <br />facilities will be located in Sherburne County. <br /> <br />Wright County <br /> <br />Transit Services <br /> <br />Wright County is primarily rural although development pressures resulting from the close <br />proximity to the Twin Cities have influenced growth. Population, household and employment <br />growth is highest in the northern and eastern parts of the County. Interstate 94, a major <br />throughway to the Twin Cities, runs along the far north portion of the County, east into Hennepin <br />County. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Phase II Northstar Corridor Major Investment Study <br />Draft - No-Build Alternative <br /> <br />6 <br /> <br />June 10, 1999 <br />
