Little Canada City Council <br />Little Canada Planning Commission <br />January 18, 1982 <br />Page Four <br />The discrepancies noted by Ramsey County between their traffic volume projections <br />and recommended jurisdictional changes and the proposals suggested by Little <br />Canada's Plan appear to have resulted from the County updating information in this <br />study. Little Canada used the Northeast Area Transportation Study prepared in 1975 <br />for their traffic volume projections and proposed roadway jurisdiction changes. Ramsey <br />County projections and proposed roadway jurisdiction changes are based on more <br />current information and probably reflect a more accurate trend. The City of Little <br />Canada is willing to revise its traffic volume projections and jurisdiction changes to <br />reflect the County's projections. <br />Ramsey County has also noted several discrepancies between functional classifications <br />proposed by the County and those proposed by the City. The functional classification <br />for streets proposed by the City reflect the proposed land use for the areas. The major <br />item appears to be the need to provide an east -west minor arterial through the eastern <br />portion of Little Canada, The City of Little Canada has addressed this concern in its <br />Comprehensive Plan. <br />The Little Canada Rood to Beam Avenue minor arterial extension route is viewed as <br />undesirable due to the existing residential uses along Labore Road orxd the residential <br />character which is proposed for the eastern half of the City. Due to the feeling that the <br />City has been segmented enough by transportation elements, it is suggested that the <br />east -west traffic be routed around the periphery of the residential area rather than <br />disecting it. It is proposed that Centerville Road and County Road D be reclassified <br />to a minor arterial . County Road D will have to swing southward east of Labore Road <br />to avoid the full interchange proposed at Trunk Highway 61 and 1 -694. <br />The City is willing to work with Ramsey County to resolve the difference between the <br />two Plans. <br />133 <br />
