How will Highway 10 be "Redefined"? <br />As the southeast Elk River area continues to develop with a <br />mix of uses including highway business, business park, and <br />industrial, greater demands will be placed on the Highway <br />10 corridor for access and service to development. The <br />segment of the roadway in Elk River that is east of Highway <br />169 will be a subject of significant scrutiny from MnDOT <br />and other transportation partners in coming years to <br />ensure the corridor is able to serve both local and regional <br />travel needs. As such, it will be essential for city officials <br />to review any new development proposals along this <br />segment of the Highway 10 corridor that may potentially <br />impact travel and/or add to congestion. In anticipation of <br />multi -agency concerns about the Highway 10 corridor, <br />Elk River should take a proactive approach to evaluating <br />future growth scenarios and options for managing access <br />to Highway 10. Current plans for the Highway 10 corridor <br />include the establishment of two interchange locations <br />east of Highway 169: the new Twin Lakes Road corridor and <br />at the eastern border of Elk River in the vicinity of Jarvis or <br />Adams Streets. <br />Mainline Cross -Sections <br />Coordinate with the City of Ramsey <br />Planning studies have been completed and are ongoing <br />east of Elk River in Anoka County. The City of Ramsey <br />has conducted significant planning studies for Highway <br />10, with involvement from MnDOT, Anoka County, and <br />participation from Elk River. Studies completed in 2015 and <br />2019 resulted in identifying steps for the improvement of <br />mobility on Highway 10 in Ramsey. In general, the highway <br />is on the path toward becoming a freeway facility. <br />The City of Elk River should coordinate with the City of <br />Ramsey to ensure plans and potential modifications to <br />Highway 10 align with the future land use development <br />plan for this area of Elk River. <br />Highwaylo Preliminary Design and Environmental Documentation, SRF Consulting Group Inc and MnDOT <br />84 Transportation & Mobility Plan - Elk River Comprehensive Plan <br />
