Table 1 -Access Management Guidelines <br />Urban Core Minor Arterial 1 block <br />Urban Minor Arterial 1/4 mile (1/8 mile for a conditional <br />secondary intersection) <br />Urban Core Collector 1 block <br />Urban Collector 1/8 mile <br />Local 1 block <br />As the Snelling Avenue corridor and other arterial roadways evolve, opportunities to <br />limit and reduce access should be undertaken to address safety and capacity issues. <br />Roadway Safety <br />Roadway crash data related to the City of Falcon Heights were obtained using the <br />Minnesota Crash Mapping Analysis Tool (MnCMAT). Locations of reported crashes <br />during 2003 through 2005 are displayed graphically in Figure 3, on the following page. <br />During this period a total of 331 crashes were reported. Of these, 82 percent occurred on <br />minor arterials traversing the City including Cleveland Avenue, Larpenteur Avenue, and <br />Snelling Avenue. The highest frequency of crashes generally occurred at the highest <br />volume intersections. <br />Intersections that experienced an average of five or more crashes per year are: <br />• Snelling Avenue at Larpenteur Avenue. <br />• Snelling Avenue at Roselawn Avenue. <br />• Larpenteur Avenue at Cleveland Avenue. <br />• Larpenteur Avenue at Hamline Avenue. <br />A more rigorous investigation of crash rates, types, and severity is suggested prior to <br />drawing conclusions regarding appropriate corrective measures. As improvements in <br />these corridors are considered, these safety concerns should be explored more <br />thoroughly. <br /> <br />• <br />• <br />Falcon Heights Comprehensive Plan 2008 Draft -January, 2008 Part III: Infrastructure, Page III-6 <br />
