As development <br />continues, additional mileage can be added to the MSA system. Based on development in <br />1993, 1.34 miles of additional roads can be added to the City's system for a City total of <br />23.77 miles. <br /> <br />We have reviewed the roads presently designated on t.ie MSA system and the City's <br />Comprehensive Transportation Plan to determine which roads should be added. Discussions <br />with City staff have also led us to recommend that some roads, presently on the system, be <br />deleted to allow other roads to be added. As shown by the attached map, we recommend <br />that several roads be added to or deleted from the MSA system. <br /> <br />The roads recommended for addition are: <br /> <br />S1reet <br />201st Avenue NW <br />193rd Avenue NW <br />Industrial Access Road <br /> <br />Emm <br />TH 169 <br />TH 169 <br />Joplin Street <br /> <br />To <br />County Road 1 <br />County Road 13 <br />Waco Street <br /> <br />T ,eneth <br />2.00 mi. <br />1.53 mi. <br />L05. mi. <br />4.58 mi. <br /> <br />201st Avenue NW reflects the need for additional east-west corridors in the City. This route <br />is identified in the City's Comprehensive Transportation Plan as a proposed minor arterial <br />addition to the existing street system. This route would help to address traffic congestion <br />concerns on School Street, Proctor Avenue, and County Road 1. <br /> <br />193rd Avenue, also cited in the City's Comprehensive Plan, would provide a link between <br />the eastern portion of the City, including CSAH 22 from Anoka County, and the <br />existing/future commercial development along TH 169. Projected traffic demands indicate <br />a need for this roadway improvement. This route would help to alleviate congestion at the <br />intersection of Main Street and TH 169. <br /> <br />230/oo0-1102.apr <br />
