City of Mounds View 12040 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 />Category <br />Area or <br />Facility <br />Type <br />TypicaI <br />Functional <br />Class <br />Public St eet Spacing <br />Signal Spacing <br />Primary <br />FuII-Movement <br />intersection <br />Secondary <br />intersection <br />4 Principal Arterials in the Twin Cities Met opolitan Area <br />and Primary Regional Trade Centers (Non-lRCs). <br />4AF <br />Non -Interstate <br />Freeway <br />Prm l <br />o <br />Arterials <br />Arterials <br />Interchange Access Ordy <br />ire Seddon 3.2.7 for interim sparing) <br />rote•:-- <br />4A <br />Rural <br />1 mile <br />1t2 ro:io <br />See Seouon 3.2.S <br />4B <br />Urban/ <br />Urbanizing <br />1..2 !Tiet14 <br />rode <br />112 mle <br />4C <br />5 <br />Urban Care <br />Minor <br />300-00 fen. dependent upon blodr length <br />114 mfie <br />SA <br />Rural <br />Elinor Arterials <br />022 rode <br />114 rode <br />See Sect. 3.2.5 <br />SB <br />Urban/ <br />Urbanizing <br />11i rode <br />1,8 mile <br />114 mile <br />SC <br />Urban Core <br />300-80 feel. deperdcrt upon hook length <br />1.14 mie <br />6 Collectors <br />6A <br />Rural <br />Collectors <br />112 rode <br />114 rode <br />See Section 2.2.5 <br />6B <br />Urban) <br />Urbanizing <br />118 mie <br />Nol Applicable <br />tamile <br />6C <br />Urban Core <br />300480 fen. depe deni upon block length <br />1:8 mile <br />7 Specific Area Access Management Plans <br />7 <br />Aid <br />Ail <br />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 />MDUNDS VIEW <br />Red Oak Drive <br />Chapter 5: Transportation 1 5-5 <br />
