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.
