Please note that MnDOT's review of this Comprehensive Plan Amendment AUAR does not constitute approval of a regional traffic analysis and is not a specific approval for access or new roadway improvements. As plans are refined, we would like the opportunity to meet with our partners and to review the updated information. Additionally, MnDOT has several construction projects planned in the area. Ramsey County, Arden Hills, and MnDOT should continue to work closely in planning for highway changes. MnDOT s staff has reviewed the Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA) and has the following comments: Freeways/Access: The maps do not clearly show the connecting road from CR H to CR I on the east side, which MnDOT believes is an important element. For questions concerning these comments, please contact Tony Fischer ( or jose.fischer@state.mn.us) in MnDOT Metro District s Traffic Section. Planning: It has been noted that with this update, the old 2030 Socioeconomic (SE) data forecasts are still being used, which is technically ok. However, new 2040 SE data forecasts have been made available. Although the new 2040 SE data forecast control totals are similar to the old 2030 SE forecasts, they do shift some growth away from the exurbs to the urban core and 1 st ring suburbs, which results in slightly less negative traffic impacts on the regional system. For questions concerning these comments, please contact Jim Henricksen ( or jim.henricksen@state.mn.us) in MnDOT Metro District s Planning Section.
