Consider Strategic Realignment <br /> Of City and CountRoa <br /> gJ dways, <br /> Including jurisdictional <br /> Previous studies have highlighted a need for the City sz <br /> to pursue jurisdictional transfers of key streets within 69 <br /> the community.The Driving Forward:Sherburne County <br /> Transportation Plan identified several County-owned road- <br /> ways which would be better served under the authority of / <br /> local municipalities.In the case of Elk River,some of the <br /> potential transfers are related to"swaps of roadways'.In ' 33 <br /> a roadway swap the City takes over a current County road <br /> and in so doing,transfers jurisdiction of a related road to sz <br /> the County.Such swaps are intended to better align the <br /> road purposes(such as connectivity to other major roads I <br /> like Highway 10)and transfer maintenance responsibil- <br /> ities to the appropriate jurisdiction.An example of this <br /> would be the transfer of Joplin Road to the County(thereby / <br /> connecting CSAH 30 to US Highway 10),and in exchange, ���� 169 <br /> transferring the segment of CSAH 30 east of Joplin back13 <br /> to the City.The latter stretch of CSAH 30 serves primarily = 1�'=..�� 12 <br /> local functions and has no connection to other major <br /> roads,which is more appropriate to be under the City's 101 <br /> jurisdiction rather than the County. <br /> Jurisdiction Turn-Back 1 <br /> Develop a New City <br /> Transportation Plan — 10 <br /> County to City of Elk River <br /> The last citywide transportation plan was developed in <br /> 2004.Given the significant changes planned for Elk River, <br /> a new transportation plan document should be prepared to <br /> provide a comprehensive,transportation-focused strategy <br /> for managing growth and changes in transportation. <br /> Elk River Comprehensive Plan-Transportation&Mobility Plan 81 <br />
