As Dave Windle was going through the GIS portion of the presentation, compact disks with the entire Corridor Coalition on them were handed out to the Metropolitan Council Commissioners.

Mayor Probst stated that the Metropolitan Council meeting had been positive for tile I-35W Corridor Coalition, the City of Arden Hills, and all the other communities involved. Although there had been good attendance, Chair MondaIe had not attended the meeting. The audience stayed through the entire presentation and remained after the meeting was adjourned to discuss the presentation. Mayor Probst thanked Councilmembers Aplikowski and Rem for attending the Metropolitan Council meeting. He felt that the presentation had come together well even though there had not been any rehearsals. If the grant is approved, it will allow the Coalition to perform a build-out study. The goal was to deal with the fact that, if all the communities within the Coalition built- . out according to their future plans, this would result in gridlock of the entire area. The presentation provided a model with other variations of how to make the build-out work and keep the local communities viable.
