The purpose of this study is to identify concepts for improving
mobility, increasing safety, and enhancing the appearance and economic
vitality along the Coon Rapids Boulevard/East River Road corridor. This
study presents the existing conditions along the corridor, and presents
20-year traffic forecasts for the planning horizon year of 2030. This
study documents the data and analysis used to develop and screen
alternatives to arrive at feasible concepts for recommendation and
implementation that will be able to accommodate the forecast year
traffic and provide for safety enhancements. The study does not
anticipate reconstruction of the corridor to occur at one time. The
identified concepts will be implemented over time as funding
opportunities arise and redevelopment occurs along the corridor.
