October 2022 Alternative Urban Areawide Review Update Page 10 Everton Avenue Neighborhood City of Hugo, MN WSB Project No. 020256-000 53. Construction of local collector streets and frontage/backage roads will minimize the need for local trips on regional arterials such as TH 61 and CSAH 8. Collector roadways will need to be improved or constructed based on the timing and location of specific development. The City of Hugo will continue to monitor traffic volumes and traffic operations to determine when additional improvements will be necessary. This activity is ongoing. 54. COMPLETED :Construct the north-south collector street between 165th Street and the extension of 147th Street as a two-lane roadway. Additional capacity requirements may be necessary at the southern end of the roadway where daily traffic volumes are forecast to be 12,000 – 15,000. Oneka Parkway has been constructed between CSAH 8/Frenchman Road and 159th Street. 55. COMPLETED: Construct the east-west collector street (extension of 159th Street) between Highway 61 and Elmcrest Avenue as a two-lane roadway. This has been completed, although the roadway changes to Heritage Parkway and is not a direct extension o f 159th. 56. The City of Hugo will continue to support improvements along TH 61 including intersection improvements, safety improvements, and capacity improvements. Such improvements would add needed capacity and safety improvements to accommodate Mn/DOT’s Transportation Studies Plan (TSP) that lists TH 61 as a Preservation Corridor. No additional public access points are being requested along TH 61 as a result of the proposed development within the Everton Avenue AUAR study area. The access and corridor plan has been completed with MnDOT, Washington County, Washington County Rail Authority, and the City for TH 61 corridor within Hugo. 57. Currently, there are no transit routes utilizing any of the roadways within the study area. There is a park-n-pool lot located near CSAH 8/14 and I-35E in the City of Lino Lakes. As development in the Everton Avenue AUAR study area and the City of Hugo occurs, further consideration will be given to establish connections to transit services. The Rush Line transit corridor is another opportunity to provide transit service to the northeastern suburbs and could assist in reducing the volume of trips that may be made by automobiles. Connecting people and neighborhoods to these transit corridors will be considered during subdivis ion review and approval. This activity is ongoing. 58. UPDATED: The City updated their Trail and Sidewalk Plan in 2019 (Figure 3). There is a regional trail along Frenchman Road and City sidewalks and trails within portions of the study area. Additional proposal trails are planned within the study area. Trail connections will continue to be made as additional development occurs. 59. Access along all roadways will be managed to ensure traffic operations and safety is protected. Access spacing guidelines, such as those identified in the Hugo Transportation Plan, will be used as guidance for future access points. This activity is ongoing. 60. The capacity of the ditch and other water conveyance systems will be accounted for to ensure that stormwater storage capacity is maintained during the design of the collector roads. This measure has been followed and will continue to apply. 61. Implementation of transportation related mitigation measures will be assured through the City, which will require and regulate infrastructure improvements through the City review, approval, and permitting process. Funding for the proposed improvements will be provided from several sources including development agreements, site assessments, Washington
