The goal of Phase I was to select a design concept for reconstruction of the roadway between I -35W and 1 -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. Three public meetings have been held during the process to collect comments from area residents and business owners. Anoka County staff and consultants have also met with the City of Centerville's Economic Development committee and business owners. ANALYSIS Design Concepts for CSAH 14 Reconstruction The CSAH 14 corridor between I -35W and I -35E varies in the characteristics as it flows through parkland, commercial areas and residential areas. Three main segments were identified. Segment 1, from I -35W south through the Regional Park to Mound Trail; Segment 2 from Mound Trail through Centerville to 20t Avenue (CSAH 21); and Segment 3 from 20th Avenue (CSAH 21) to 1 -35E. Based on the projected traffic volumes, vehicle speeds, and adjacent land use the following is the recommended design for the reconstruction of CSAH 14: Segment 1: The segment through the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park is proposed to be a two -lane rural section (ditches used to convey drainage) with turn lanes at the park entrances as necessary. Eight -foot shoulders and a ten -foot trail along the west side are also recommended. The existing bridge over Rice Creek will be replaces with a new structure. • Segment 2: The segment through Centerville is proposed to be a three -lane urban section (curb and gutter) with the center lane used as a continuous left -turn lane.
