I-35W County Road C Park & Ride Roseville
Project description
A 460-space four-level ramp is being constructed in an area of future Roseville development east of I-35W and north of County Road C in Roseville. This parcel was formerly a freight truck terminal that is being redeveloped. The facility will occupy about 1.27 acres at the northeast corner of the property at the intersection of future Iona Lane and Mount Ridge Rd.
This is one of many transportation projects funded by the Urban Partnership Agreement, a collaboration of federal, state and local entities working to improve traffic by reducing congestion on Interstate 35W, Highway 77/Cedar Avenue and in downtown Minneapolis.

Public transportation riders can achieve an average annual saving of $8,368 per year by using public transportation instead of driving, according to the American Public Transportation Association's "Transit Savings Report."
Background
The Metropolitan Council Capital Improvement Plan calls for a large parking structure in Roseville to replace or partially replace the high demand Park and Ride at Rosedale. Currently, the Council leases 375 park and ride spaces from the Rosedale Mall. In recent years, park and ride demand has at times grown to a usage as high as 500 spaces placing considerable pressure on Mall parking. The lease expires in 2011 and the Mall owners have noted expansion plans that may diminish Council’s ability to remain at the Mall. The proposed site would at least partially satisfy the growing Rosedale demand.
