<br />62 <br /> <br />Aviation <br />There are no airports, proposed airport sites or other related facilities located in Little Canada. The <br />City is generally served by the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) which is located <br />about 13 miles southwest of Little Canada. Other airports in close proximity to the City are <br />Downtown St. Paul Airport (Holman Field) and the South St. Paul Municipal Airport. <br />Any person or organization who intends to sponsor the construction or alteration of a structure <br />affecting navigable airspace as defined in Federal Regulation Title 14; Part 77 needs to inform the <br />Federal Aviation Agency of the project. This notification is accomplished through the completion <br />and submittal to the FAA of Form 7460. The City of Little Canada is not within the area of <br />influence of any of the above-mentioned airports and is therefore not subject to any associated land <br />use restrictions. <br />Freight <br />With its three primary arterials, Little Canada sees a sizable amount of Freight traffic in addition <br />to standard personal vehicles. The map below gives the most recent set of traffic counts for Heavy <br />Commercial Annual Average Daily Traffic, in addition to showing the cities two railroad lines, <br />and commercial/industrial areas which generate a higher amount of freight and heavy commercial <br />traffic. <br />I-694 was the most significant carrier of Heavy Commercial Traffic, with 10,000 annual average <br />trips. Looking at the map, it is clear to see that industrial and commercial development in the <br />northwest and southwest portions of the city is being complemented and spurred by both rail and <br />freeway proximity. <br /> <br /> <br />
