I I J I ~ .'\:\01'.\ n)l) \'1'\ ..r.~. ." ; County Road J Improvement Project About the Project Ramsey County, in cooperation with the cities of Mounds View, Blaine, Shoreview, Anoka County, and Mn/DOT, along with its consultant, Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc. (SEI-I), is conducting roadway design work to improve County Road J (85th Avenue NE). The limits of this much needed transportation project extend from approximately Airport Road (93rd Lane NE) on the west to Rice Creek Parkway/Naples Street on the east. The proposed improvements consist of: . Widening County Road J to accommodate a continuous tour-lane divided roadway with a raised center concrete median . Replacing the narrow two-lane bridge over 1-35W with an expanded tour-lane bridge with turn lanes . Installing two additional traffic signals . Adding left and right turn lanes at public street intersections . Intersection improvements . Modifications to driveways and access points . Constructing a continuous pedestrian path along the roadway Based on preliminary technical analysis completed by the project partners, a conceptual design for the proposed roadway improvements was recommended (sho"vnbcIow). Improvements are needed to increase both capacity and safety. The current two-lane bridge at 1-35W and the absence of turn lanes along County Road J cause congestion and traffic conflicts. The frequency and severity of these problems will continue to grow as Medtronic office facilities and other planned commercial and residential developments are completed. The proposed improvements will safely accommodate traffic volumes anticipated at full bui Id-out of properties served within the corridor. The following graphic and paragraphs describe the recommended improvements in more detail: . 1. 2. 3. 4. . 5. 6. . Click to view larger view of this image County Road J will be widened from approximately Airport Road (93rd Lane NE) on the west to Rice Creek ParkwaylNaples Street on the east to accommodate a continuous four-lane divided roadway with a raised center concrete median. The northbound 1-35W exit ramp will be widened to accommodate additional turn lanes at the ramp terminal. Furthermore, the existing temporary traffic signal will be replaced with a permanent full traffic actuated control signal system. The bridge over 1-35W wiIJ be reconstructed and will be widened and lengthened to accommodate four through lanes, left and right turn lanes and a pedestrian path. The 1-35W Service Road intersection will be improved to accommodate additional turn lanes at all intersection approaches. Other improvements will include the construction of a raised median for the northern and southern approaches and the replacement of the existing temporary traffic signal with a permanent full traffic actuated signal control system with protected left turn phasing. A pedestrian path will be constructed along County Road J throughout the entire project area. The County Road J and Coral Sea S1. intersection will be reconstructed into a single full access intersection. The proposed intersection improvement will require a minor realignment of the northern approach. Furthermore, a new full traffic actuated signal control system with protected left turn phasing will be installed at the intersection. 7. A modified full traffic actuated signal control system will be installed at the County Road J and Xylite S1. intersection. 8. The existing four-lane undivided bridge over Highway 10 will remain in-place. 9. The County Road J and Airport Road (93rd Lane NE) intersection will be improved to accommodate additional lanes and a pedestrian path. Moditications to the traffic signal will occur at the intersection. 10. The northbound and southbound lanes of Airport Road between County Road J and the south ramp terminal will be widened to accommodate additional traffic lanes. 11. The eastbound Highway 10 exit ramp at Airport Road will be widened to accommodate a new right turn lane. Furthermore, a new full traffic actuated signal control system will be installed at the ramp terminal intersection. 12. A free-right turn lane to the access ramp onto westbound Highway 10 will be constructed on the northbound lanes of Airport Road. Previous Page , ,,'f ~ Ad.1><!
