City of Mounds View 1 2040 Comprehensive Plan <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 Spacing <br />Primary <br />Secondary <br />Category <br />Facility <br />Functional <br />Signal Spacing <br />Type <br />Class <br />F,,I-Movement <br />Intersection <br />Intersection <br />Principal Arterials in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area <br />4 and Primary Regional Trade Centers [Non4RCs) <br />4AF Non -Interstate raerchenge Aecess Onry nEedm <br />Freewayt S.ctinn 32.7 fur W. m aWm) <br />4A Rural 1 mile IQ nil.

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 />AIN <br />MOUND VIEW <br />Red Oak Drive <br />Chapter 5: Transportation 1 5-5 <br />
