City of Mounds View 1 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br />DRAFT September 21, 2020 <br />Access Management <br />Access management is the balancing of two important components in any <br />transportation system: access and mobility. It is a critical component of a safe and <br />efficient roadway system. By limiting access points on highways, the number of <br />potential conflicts may be reduced. Access management is important to balancing <br />automotive mobility with automobile access to local properties. As discussed <br />above, access is limited on higher mobility roadways such as Principal Arterials, <br />while local streets provide increased access and decreased mobility. Standards <br />are listed in Table 5-1. <br />Table 5-1: Summary of Recommended Street Spacing for Non-IRCs, MnDOT <br />Access Management Manual <br />Area or <br />Typical <br />Public Street Spacin <br />Primary <br />Secondary <br />Category <br />Facility <br />Functional <br />SignalSpacing <br />Type <br />Class <br />I Full -movement <br />Inters6ttian <br />Intersection <br />Principal Arterials In the Twin Citias Metropolitan Area <br />4 and Primary Regional Trade Centers [NonaRCQ <br />4AF <br />Mon -Interstate <br />Interchange Access Only <br />Interim <br />Freeway <br />try &e t-12.7 for ind.nm spadrig) <br />4A <br />Rural <br />4 mile <br />12 bile <br />See Section 3.2L <br />Principal <br />Urban) <br />Artenals <br />4B <br />Urbaninn <br />4a m le <br />4M nae <br />4+2 nae <br />4C Urban Core 3oO-W feet. dependent upon plod[ lengrh 14 nae <br />a Minor Arbodals <br />SA <br />Rural <br />t2 nae <br />t 4 nie <br />See Section 3.2.5 <br />5B <br />Ll�anl <br />Wnar Anenafa <br />$A nae <br />lfa mle <br />Vi nae <br />Urbanlzin <br />5C <br />Urban Core <br />upon .fength <br />H4 nae <br />6 Collectors <br />6A <br />Rural <br />fa nae <br />I.. <br />See Section 3.2.5 <br />sB <br />Urban) <br />Urbanizin <br />Cnlleai <br />se )?ar <br />No[ Ppplicehle <br />}f6 nee <br />SC. <br />Urban Core <br />3oa-60 fee[. dependent upon Mock iength <br />1rt3 nie <br />7 Specific Area Access Management Plans <br />7 All All By adopted plan <br />Complete Streets <br />The City is committed to providing a transportation network that is safe and <br />supportive of all users, in or outside of motor vehicles. <br />As the use of alternative modes of transportation rise locally and regionally, the <br />City will study the feasibility of allocating more space on the roads for slower <br />moving traffic with a primary focus on pedestrian comfort and safety. <br />The City also recognizes that residents' mode choice is largely dependent on the <br />type of infrastructure in place. The City will continue to study options for improving <br />sidewalk, bikeways, and transit facilities as a catalyst for increasing use of <br />alternative modes of transportation. <br />MovivDS VI W <br />Red Oak Drive <br />Chapter 5: Transportation 1 5-5 <br />
