Stay Involved in Planning Efforts along <br />Highway 10 near the Downtown <br />MnDOT also worked with Elk River and Sherburne County <br />to complete a vision for Highway 10 west of the Highway <br />101/10/169 interchange. A June 2010 Environmental <br />Assessment for the corridor in Elk River identified the <br />long-term vision of a freeway facility, where Highway 10 <br />is reconstructed as a four -lane freeway with a frontage <br />road providing local service on the south side of the <br />highway. Various underpasses (including at Jackson and <br />Main Streets) and overpasses would allow for local street <br />connections. A critical and challenging feature of this <br />vision is the realignment of BNSF railway to the north to <br />accommodate the new roadways and structures. Given <br />the recent focus on reconstruction of Highway 169 and the <br />ongoing nature of Highway 10 planning studies to the east, <br />there has been relatively minimal effort towards next steps <br />to this vision of Highway 10 near downtown Elk River. <br />Cross Street Cross -Sections <br />Since any interventions to Highway 10 in this area have the <br />potential to greatly impact Elk River's downtown, the city <br />should keep open lines of communication with MnDOT <br />and Sherburne County to ensure no plans are made for <br />this segment of the corridor without input directly from the <br />city. <br />Highway 10 Prelimina ry Design and Environmental Documentation, SRF Consulting Group Inc and MnDOT <br />Elk River Comprehensive Plan - Transportation & Mobility Plan <br />07[L\arr0]AOWN I�VAVKOIilk1W1 <br />
