City of Mounds View 1 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br />Revisioning Mounds View Boulevard <br />In past years, a significant portion of traffic has been diverted from Mounds View <br />Boulevard to State Highway 10, bypassing much of the city. This reconfiguration <br />brings new opportunities as well as challenges. With much of the traffic diverted <br />from the area, fewer people are passing by the local businesses each day. <br />The bypass of automotive traffic also provides new opportunities for creating an <br />attractive destination. Mounds View Boulevard could better function for people <br />using a range of transportation options, including walking, biking, use of mass <br />transit, and driving. The City will study the feasibility of reconstructing Mounds View <br />Boulevard in the coming years. Transportation studies will be completed in tandem <br />with land use studies, as each greatly effects and is dependent on the other. For <br />topics related to land use along Mounds View Boulevard, see Chapter 2. In 2002, <br />a cooridor improvement plan was completed for the Boulevard, addressing <br />automobile traffic, pedestiran trails, and landscaping. The City has completed <br />most of the trail system, and implemented a scaled down landscaping plan foused <br />on intersections. The more exsensive parts of the plan, including realigning <br />intersections, and landscaping county road medians. is yet to be addressed. <br />ow <br />!
