<br />e <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />MOUNDS VIEW: New Corporate Campus for Medtronic. Where currently there is a <br />municipal golf course, the City envisions: <br /> <br />. 2000 jobs <br /> <br />. 1.5 Million Square Feet of medical technology research and manufacturing <br /> <br />. $120 Million in tax base compared to current taxable value of $0. <br /> <br />NEW BRIGHTON: Northwest Quadrant Development. Where currently there are old, <br />worn out industrial buildings and contaminated lands, the city envisions: <br /> <br />. 750 new homes <br /> <br />. 750,000 Square Feet of commercial, office and retail space <br /> <br />. $300 Million in tax base compared to current taxable value of $13 million. <br /> <br />DILEMMA TO BE SOLVED WITH REQUESTED FUNDS: <br /> <br />Providing local access will be a major problem when 1-35W is rebuilt due to proximity of <br />existing interchanges and the interdependency of needs in the adjacent cities. Trade <br />offs in local access options cannot be resolved without knowing what the regional <br />freeway design will be and what interim measures will be needed. <br /> <br />Despite being an Inter Regional Corridor route and including a segment of another on <br />TH 10 plus connecting to the metro beltway, 1-35W is designated as a "Management" <br />category route and not an "Expansion" route in the Metropolitan Council's 2030 <br />Transportation Policy Plan. Due to financial constraints, critically needed capacity <br />expansions on 1-35W are not programmed in the foreseeable future. Management <br />category improvements can include reconstruction of up to two contiguous <br />interchanges. <br /> <br />In order for MnlDOT and the affected communities to proceed with design and <br />construction of individual interchanges needed to meet local access requirements and <br />to mitigate already severe congestion problems, a plan for the ultimate reconstruction <br />of 1-35W is needed so that all of the subsequent pieces fit together. The requested <br />funds will provide the parameters of the future system design that will facilitate further <br />improvements. This will enable the communities to move forward with greater <br />knowledge of interim actions needed to accommodate inevitable growth. <br /> <br />COMMUNITY SUPPORT: The following have approved resolutions in support of this <br />funding request: <br /> <br />(A(){)rovals Pendinq) <br /> <br />City of New Brighton <br /> <br />City of Blaine <br /> <br />City of Mounds View <br /> <br />City of Arden Hills <br /> <br />City of Shore vie w <br /> <br />City of Circle Pines <br />City of Lexington <br />City of Uno Lakes <br />Ramsey County Board <br />Anoka County Board <br /> <br />C:\DOC1JM t:NTS AND SETT1NGS\SCII A WN .JOHNSON\I"OCAL SETTINGS\TE!\tPORARY <br />INTERNET FILESIOLK85ILEG.REQLEST SUPPORT.DOC <br />
