• • • heavy trucks. By positioning the commercial and industrial uses along the highway corridors, within proximity to major intersections /interchanges, heavy trucks as well as additional traffic generated by these uses can easily access these businesses without disturbing residential areas. Since not all businesses will be able to be located directly adjacent to the intersections/ interchanges, a system of frontage /backage roads may be necessary to support these areas and reduce the number of driveway accesses to the major road corridor, consistent with local access management guidelines. Year 2030 System Needs Future roadway improvements designed to address system connectivity, continuity, congestion and /or safety issues have been identified for the roadway system in Lino Lakes based upon 2030 traffic forecasts (Figure 6.4). Those roadways that should be upgraded to four -lane and two -lane divided by the year 2030 are presented in Figure 6.5 and are derived from a combination of system needs and the intended function of each roadway as it relates to the adjacent supporting land use. It should be noted that the proposed roadway section discussed here does not account for spot intersection improvements and /or trails. The system needs identified for 2030 addresses Goal 3, Policy 1, which states, "Plan for an expanded and improved roadway system to accommodate projected increases in traffic volume accompanying predicted /planned growth and development." The system needs identified for 2030 also addresses Goal 1, Policy 3, which states "Ensure by 2030 that main east /west and north /south transportation corridors are of good quality and allow for potential, required expansion and upgrades, i.e. widening, expanded capacity, turn lanes, and accommodating pedestrian and bicycle facilities." The determination of how and if to implement the additional roadway system needs, and their proper sequencing, will be determined through each jurisdiction's programming process that considers the estimated cost of each project, available financing and coordination with other projects. County System Improvements The following roadways under County jurisdiction should be upgraded to four -lane divided facilities by the year 2030 (Figure 6.5): • CSAH 14 — from west city limits to I -35W • CSAH 32 — from the west city limits to Shadow Lake Drive • CSAH 32 — from County Road J to CSAH 21 • CSAH 34 — from CSAH 49 to CSAH 54 • CSAH 23 — from east city limits to north city limits • CSAH 49 — from CSAH 32 to CSAH 23 • CSAH 53 — from CSAH 23 to CR 153 • CR 153 — from CSAH 23 to CR 53 • CSAH 21 — from south city limits to CSAH 32 • CSAH 21 — from CSAH 34 to CSAH 14 • CSAH 54 — from south city limits to 77th Street E The following roadway should be upgraded to six -lane divided: • CSAH 14 — from I -35E to east city limits 6 -13
