<br />5.11 <br /> <br />campus are highly-skilled professional positions. Typical wages at the campus are about $75,000 <br />per year. <br />Although the Medtronic campus is only one mile from County Road 10, connections between <br />the campus and Crossroad Pointe via local streets are poor. Therefore, the most direct <br />connection between the Medtronic Campus and Crossroad Pointe is via Interstate 35W. As a <br />result, daytime employees of Medtronic who may consider traveling outside the campus for <br />goods and services will be accessible to a number of equally convenient business districts in <br />addition to Crossroad Pointe. This lessens the likelihood that businesses located in Cr ossroad <br />Pointe can depend on Medtronic employees as a captive market. <br />The dormant TCAAP site located just east of County Road 10 in Arden Hills is the largest <br />undeveloped contiguous area in the built-up portion of the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. Over <br />the years various planning efforts for the TCAAP site have indicated as much as 3.5 million <br />square feet commercial space and 2,400 units of housing could be built on the site. One of the <br />key access points to TCAAP would be via County Road H, which also provides excellent access <br />to County Road 10 in Mounds View. Although development of TCAAP would have a profound <br />impact on uses located along County Road 10, planning for TCAAP has yet to progress into any <br />kind of significant new development despite years of e ffort. However, another round of effort at <br />redevelopment may finally realize TCAAP’s potential. If this is the case, significant employment <br />growth in the area would fuel demand for certain day-time uses in Crossroad Pointe. <br />5.2.4 Transportation <br />Interstate freeways, US highways, state <br />highways and county highways all <br />intersect the City of Mounds View in <br />one way or another, offering <br />immediate access to the remainder of <br />the Metro Area and beyond. Figure 10 <br />highlights these major thoroughfares in <br />red. Less than a quarter-mile to the <br />east, County Road 10 intersects <br />Interstate 35W, the primary artery <br />feeding traffic from the Northern <br />Metro into Downtown Minneapolis. <br />Mounds View is bisected by County <br />Road 10 and US Highway 10, two <br />primary carriers of east-west traffic in <br />the Northern Metro. <br /> <br />Figure 10: North Metro Highway Network
