St. Anthony 2040 Comprehensive Plan Chapter 6: Transportation 124 PROPOSED SHORT AND LONG-RANGE ROADWAY PROJECTS The sections below identify proposed short and long-range roadway projects identified in the City’s CIP and based on the proposed land use and redevelopment activities described in previous sections of this Plan. This section does not include information on proposed projects from the Metropolitan Council 2040 TPP, as the TPP does not include any planned improvements to principal arterials in St. Anthony Village. No interchanges, MnPASS lanes, dedicated busways, or bus- only shoulders are proposed in the Current Revenue Scenario of the 2040 TPP. Proposed Projects from CIPs The City’s CIP identifies a number of roadway projects. These projects are primarily utility and roadway reconstruction projects intended to improve and maintain the City’s utilities and roadway surface. There are also a number of signal improvement projects associated with the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). These projects are expected to improve safety conditions at the intersections in question and upgrade pedestrian facilities to meet ADA standards. Hennepin County’s CIP includes the reconstruction of 29th Avenue (CSAH 94) between CSAH 88 and the Hennepin-Ramsey County line. Proposed Projects based on Land Use and Development As described in the section “Recommendations from Recent Traffic Study,” a number of roadway improvements are recommended based on forecasted increases in traffic volumes associated with the proposed Southern Gateway redevelopment site. These include six modifications recommended for implementation to occur at the same time as site redevelopment, including providing new turn lanes for vehicles entering and exiting the site, lengthening existing turn lanes, and optimizing signal timing at adjacent intersections. Several longer-term recommended projects were also identified as a result of this study. These include consideration of roundabout or other traffic control improvements at the following intersections: St. Anthony Boulevard and New Brighton Boulevard, St. Anthony Boulevard and Silver Lake Road/Kenzie Terrace, and Kenzie Terrace/Lowry Avenue and Stinson Parkway.
