Physical Plan <br /> The Traffic and Transit System Plan for Columbia Heights includes roads for cars and trucks, a planned <br /> light rail transit (LRT) system line, and bus lines. <br /> No major changes are planned in the roadway system in Columbia Heights since the community's <br /> roadway system is fully developed and no changes are-expected in the land use pattern that would <br /> significantly affect the distribution of vehicle trips. <br /> The plan for roadways illustrated by Figure 5 reflects the functional classification plan of the Anoka <br /> County 2010 Comprehensive Transportation Plan (1990). <br /> The City supports the proposal reflected in the Anoka County Transportation Plan'to transfer jurisdiction <br /> for the portions of University and Central Avenues Columbia Heights to Anoka County from the <br /> Minnesota Department of Transportation. <br /> Figure 5 also shows the proposed -alignment of a light rail transit line that would, if constructed, run <br /> between downtown Minneapolis and Northtown Shopping Center. Three stations(park-and-ride sites) <br /> are being considered in Columbia Heights, although it is expected that one of them will be deleted <br /> during the Preliminary Engineering phase in 1992-1993. If the LRT'system were built, the bus system <br /> lines would be adjusted to bring passengers to the rail stations. <br /> 09425 43 <br />
