St. Anthony 2040 Comprehensive Plan Chapter 6: Transportation 73 The Metropolitan Council has further split “A” Minor arterials into four types, described below: • Relievers: Arterials located parallel to congested principal arterials. The purpose of “A” Minor Relievers is to provide additional capacity in congested corridors. • Augmenters: Arterials that supplement the principal arterials system within urban centers and urban communities. • Expanders: Arterials that supplement principal arterials in less-densely developed areas of the metro area. • Connectors: Arterials that provide connections between rural towns and connect rural areas with the principal arterial system. There are four “A” Minor Augmenters and one “A” Minor Reliever within the City: “A” Minor Augmenters: • Hennepin County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 94 • Hennepin CSAH 93 • Ramsey CSAH 19 • Ramsey CSAH 44 “A” Minor Reliever: • Hennepin CSAH 88 “B” Minor arterials have a similar focus on mobility above land access. These roadways connect major traffic generators in the region. “B” Minor arterials are not eligible for federal funding. “B” Minor arterials within the City include the following: • Hennepin CSAH 136 • Hennepin CSAH 153 • Ramsey CSAH 15 No additional minor arterials are proposed within the City at this time.
