• • • Connectors — Roads that provide good, safe connections to and among communities at the edge of the urbanized area and in rural areas. Augmenters — Roadways that augment principal arterials within the I -494/I -694 beltway. A well - planned and adequately designed system of principal and "A" minor arterials will allow the City's overall street system to function the way it is intended and will discourage through traffic from using residential streets. Volumes on principal and minor arterial roadways are expected to be higher than on collector or local roadways. Providing the capacity for these higher volumes will keep volumes on other city streets lower. "A" minor arterials in Lino Lakes are listed as follows: "A" minor relievers — • CSAH 23 (Lake Street), and • CSAH 54 (20th Avenue); "A" minor expanders — • CSAH 12 (Apollo Drive), • CSAH 49 (Hodgson Road), • CSAH 32 (Ash Street), • CSAH 32 (Ash Street), • CSAH 21 (Centerville Road south of CSAH 32) and, • CSAH 14 (Main Street south of I -35W). There are currently no connectors or augmenters within Lino Lakes' boundaries. "B" minor arterials provide a citywide function, serving medium to long distance trips. Examples of "B" Minor Arterials in Lino Lakes include: • CSAH 34 (Birch Street) and, • CSAH 21 (Centerville Road north of CSAH 32). Collectors Collectors are designed to serve shorter trips that occur within the city and provide access from neighborhoods to other collector roadways and the arterial system. They are expected to carry less traffic than arterial roads and to provide access to some properties. Collectors are typically categorized as Major and Minor Collectors. Major collectors can link both local streets and minor collectors to minor arterials, while minor collectors connect local streets to other collectors. There are several collector routes within the city. Examples of roadway segments designated as major collectors in the City of Lino Lakes include: • Holly Drive North, • CR 84 (Otter Lake Road), and • 4th Avenue. Examples of minor collectors include: • Wood Duck Trail, • 62nd Avenue, and • Rondeau Lake Road. (Note: The above lists are not all inclusive.) 6 -9
