BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE

With construction of the FM Area Diversion Project, previously flood-prone land will become protected from flooding when the Diversion Project is complete in 2027.  Pending landowner interest, future utility extensions, and other factors, undeveloped land on the east side of the FM Diversion Project is anticipated to develop at a notable pace. 

The area of development being analyzed by this plan is roughly 2.5 square miles of land located southwest of I-94, north of 32nd Ave W, west of the Sheyenne Diversion, and east of 38th St W.  For the purposes of this plan, this area is being called the West 94 Area.

The objective of this plan is to develop future growth scenarios and outcomes, develop a future roadway network, and determine the necessary roadway connections needed to service this future growth area.  Roadway connections to the West 94 Area may include connections to existing neighborhoods, arterial roadways, and I-94.  Roadway connections will also consider bicycle and pedestrian connections. 

Upon completion of this plan, jurisdictions will have a framework for implementing the transportation connections necessary to accommodate the West 94 Area.
