<br />OVERVIEW <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The North Metro 1-35W Corridor Coalition was established in 1996 in order to provide <br />member cities and counties a venue for collaboration on transportation and economic <br />development issues. Subsequently, several studies were conducted to determine <br />opportunities to build out or redevelop available spaces in the corridor, the impacts on <br />the corridor from that development, and the needs for infrastructure investments to <br />mitigate impacts. The Coalition is now concentrating on solutions to problems identified <br />that require investments in the regional transportation system. <br /> <br />CURRENT ISSUES <br /> <br /> <br />The recently adopted Metropolitan Council's 2030 Trans <br />provide for capacity improvements on 1-35W by includi <br />category of planned projects. That means that onl s <br />individual interchange reconstructions can be <br />category. Projects in the Management catego <br />none are included in the Draft Mn/DOT Metr <br />incorporates the TPP project schedule. <br /> <br />. n Policy Plan does not <br />'dor in the "Expansion" <br />on 1-35W such as <br />"Management" <br />culative and <br />Plan that <br /> <br />Anoka and Ramsey Counties <br />out knowing what the long <br />"Innovative Financing" <br />or.

Also, lack of near term relief will <br />affect the marketabi of these vital projects It is highly likely that transportation and <br />other infrastructure I vestments will either be wasted or less efficient until Mn/DOT <br />determines the nature and timing of improvements on 1-35W. <br /> <br />The segment of 1-35W north of 1-694 is a critical segment from a State and National <br />perspective as well. It includes the joint segment of two Inter Regional Corridors, TH 10 <br />& 1-35W, as they join the high priority metro freeway ring. The merging and weaving of <br />traffic from the two corridors creates the need for another "Unweave the Weave' design <br />similar to the 1-694/1-35E project further east. Failure to address the congestion and <br />safety problems created by the current inadequate design will have severe impacts on <br />commerce, tourism and personal mObility on a large scale <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />2 <br />
