• • • New CR 53 — From CSAH 14 (Main Street) to Pine Street • This new roadway is proposed to be constructed before 2030. It is recommended this future roadway be classified as an "A" minor expander, consistent with CR 53 (Sunset Avenue) to the south. New CR 84 — From CSAH 14 (Main Street) to the north city limits • This new roadway is recommended to be classified as an "A" minor reliever. This route will serve as the main north -south route in the eastern portion of the city, providing a reliever function to I -35E. "B" Minor Arterials CSAH 34 (Birch Street) — From CSAH 21 (Centerville Road) to CSAH 54 (20th Avenue) • This roadway is recommended to be upgraded from a major collector to a "B" minor arterial. CSAH 54 (20th Avenue) was recently upgraded to an "A" minor reliever by Anoka County. Because this segment of CSAH 34 (Birch Street) now connects a "B" minor arterial to an "A" minor arterial, it to must be upgraded. The "B" minor arterial classification of this segment is consistent with the classification of CSAH 34 (Birch Street) to the west of CSAH 21 (Centerville Road). CR 84 (Otter Lake Road) — From CSAH 14 (Main Street) to south city limits • This segment is recommended to be upgraded from a major collector to a "B" minor arterial. In the future it will connect to the planned extension of CR 84 (Otter Lake Road), which is planned as an "A" minor reliever. The proposed classification changes noted above are incorporated into Figure 6.3. Several additional areas within the city are still developing. The functional classification of these roadways are listed above if the classification is a "B" minor arterial or above. Major and minor collector classifications of new routes are not listed separately in this section but are included on the future functional classification plan (Figure 6.3). As described above, Figure 6.3 includes the extension of an existing principal arterial with the understanding that this improvement would not occur within the 2030 planning horizon. Projections of traffic volumes under full build out conditions, described later in this report, indicate the need for additional capacity across the northern part of the City to accommodate both regional traffic and additional local traffic that is expected with the full build -out of the City. A new roadway that would connect I -35W and I -35E across the northern part of the City, referred to as the northern bypass, would include new interchanges at both freeways and would create a continuous east -west route across the northern part of Lino Lakes. This new roadway would be an extension and re -route of CSAH 14 and would be accompanied by the extension of the principal arterial designation from its current endpoint at I -35W to the new interchange at I -35E. The section of CR 140 between CSAH 54 and I -35E, which is being proposed for upgrade to "A" Minor Expander, would then change to principal arterial, completing the connection to I -35E. In addition to the proposed northern bypass, the following roadway connections are being planned and are illustrated in Figure 6.3: • New north /south roadway — from Carl Street to W. Pine Street (north city limits) • New CR 53 (Sunset Avenue) extension — from CSAH 14 (Main Street) to W. Pine Street (north city limits) 6 -11
