Work to physically connect neighborhoods with roads and pedestrian/bicycle <br />links. <br />2. Encourage sidewalks and separated pathways along all arterial collector, and <br />local streets in developing residential and commercial areas. <br /> <br />Goal 7: Maintain and coordinate the transportation system with adjacent communities, <br />Anoka County, Washington County, Metropolitan Council and Mn/DOT. <br /> <br />Policies: <br />1. Use the functional classification system to define and plan existing and new <br />roadways. <br />2. Develop and utilize access management guidelines in conjunction with Anoka <br />County. <br />3. Continue to work with surrounding jurisdictions, state and federal agencies to <br />ensure an integrated transportation system. <br /> <br />Existing Transportation System <br /> <br /> Functional <br />Classification <br />Right of Way <br />Width Paved Road Width <br />CSAH 34 (Birch St) “B” minor arterial Varies (120 feet) Varies <br />CSAH 49 (Hodgson <br />Rd) “A” minor arterial Varies (120 feet) Varies <br />Ware Road (north of <br />CSAH 34) Local street 66 feet Varies <br />Ware Road (south of <br />CSAH 34) Collector 66 feet Varies <br />Hokah Drive Local Street 60 feet 32 feet <br /> Existing Sioux Lane Local Street 60 feet 32 feet <br />Proposed Sioux Lane Local Street 60 feet 32 feet <br /> <br />In April 2011, the City and Anoka County retained SRF Consulting Group to analyze the <br />CSAH 34 (Birch Street) corridor from CSAH 46 (Hodgson Road) to CSAH 54 (20th <br />Avenue) to address safety, access and mobility needs. The CSAH 34 Corridor Study <br />guides transportation improvement decisions and establishes an improvement plan to <br />address corridor needs. Anoka Highway Department Access Spacing Guidelines are also <br />applicable to this development. Managing access along this corridor is a critical safety <br />issue. <br /> <br />Figure 15: Recommended Corridor Plan identifies the following improvements from <br />CSAH 49 (Hodgson Road) to Tomahawk Trail:
