MEMORANDUM DATE: June 7, 2004 TO: City Council FROM: Michael Grochala RE: CSAH 14 (Main Street) Planning Process Update City staff has been working with the City of Centerville and Anoka County on Phase I of the County Road 14 (Main Street) study. The goal of Phase I is to select a design concept for reconstruction of the roadway between I -35W and I -35E. The study included an examination of regional access alternatives including additional access points to I -35E and I -35W as well as a northerly bypass of Centerville. Two public meetings have been held during the process to collect comments from area residents and business owners. A third public meeting, to present the results of the study, is scheduled for June 24, 2004. Anoka County staff and consultants have also met with the City of Centerville's Economic Development committee and business owners. The recommended design concept for CSAH 14 is based on the following: • Anticipated daily and peak hour traffic volumes the roadway is expected to carry • The number of access points (driveways) or intersections provided on the roadway • The character of the adjacent land use. The CSAH 14 corridor between I -35W and I -35E varies in the characteristics as it flows through parkland, commercial areas and residential areas. The Design Concept divides the roadway into three major segments. Segment 1, between I -35W and the Rice Creek Bridge, is proposed as a two lane section with left and right turn lanes. Segment 2, between the Rice Creek Bridge and 20th Avenue (CSAH 21), is proposed as a three lane section with a continuous center left turn lane. Segment 3, from 20t Avenue to I -35E is proposed as a four lane divided section with left and right turn lanes.
