6 <br />Comment Response <br />Transit: The AUAR accurately notes that there is not any existing transit service in the area. <br />However, as this area develops, with the AUAR study area and neighboring developments, the city <br />should be considering ways in which transit services could be extended to serve this area in the <br />future as it develops, which could aid in mitigating future traffic impacts. <br />Comment noted. <br />Aviation: The AUAR site is not within the Anoka County-Blaine airport 3-mile influence area, <br />however there is a private turf air strip (Lino Air Park) located just south of the AUAR study area. <br />The city should consider compatibility with and potential impacts to the facility for any <br />development proposals within the AUAR study area. <br />Comment noted. <br />The Draft AUAR correctly states, “There is no transit service located near the study area” (page <br />69). Table 15 Draft Mitigation Plan includes a mitigation measure stating, “Prioritize alternative <br />travel modes within the AUAR study area…(e.g., buses, bicyclists, and pedestrians)” (page 80). The <br />authors should remove “buses” from the parenthetical list on page 80. The study area is in Transit <br />Market Area 5, which indicates that the level of density in the surrounding area is not well suited <br />for regular-route transit service. Metro Transit operates commuter express routes in the I-35W <br />and I-35E corridors near Lino Lakes, but there is no other existing or planned service to this study <br />area currently. <br />“Buses” was removed from the list <br />on pg. 80. <br />2.
