As commutes become more difficult, Lino Lakes residents may look for alternatives to <br />driving alone, such as transit or carpooling� Housing close to job opportunities will be more desirable <br />and also reduce the need for long commutes� Balancing employment growth with transportation and <br />housing development will help make Lino Lakes more attractive to businesses and residents alike� <br />Table 5-9 and Figure 5-7 show travel time from Lino Lakes to selected destinations in the region. Travel <br />times to the Mall of America and the Minneapolis and St� Paul Central Business Districts have increased <br />since 2005 and will continue to get longer between now and 2030� <br />The Mall of America is included because data for the International Airport is not available but it <br />is nearby the Mall� Travel time to the airport may be important to some businesses, which may be <br />discouraged from locating in Lino Lakes as travel times increase� However, the city’s proximity to general <br />aviation airports (including Anoka County/Blaine) may be seen as an advantage by others� <br />0% 2% 4% 6% 8% 10% 12% 14% 16% 18% 20% <br />60 or more minutes <br />45 to 59 minutes <br />35 to 44 minutes <br />30 to 34 minutes <br />25 to 29 minutes <br />20 to 24 minutes <br />15 to 19 minutes <br />10 to 14 minutes <br />Less than 10 minutes <br />Figure 5-6.
