Again, the librarian can provide the City of Hugo's land use collection with either a copy at with informDlion from the srody. 7. Establis:tl General Goals With the collection of data obtained in the first six stepS, there is a considerable amount of information relative to the area of the study, the problems and concerns, the existing data and the traffic volume patterns. These should be utilized to establish general goals for the study, which are different from the problem statEmeDt in Item No. 1. There should be several goals of the stUdy and the I.3~ Corrldor Study in Ramsey County has a list which can be used as a starting point, These .goals can be established independently by varlOU& agency staffs or can be discussed at a meeting of the general group. It is important that the goals be carefully established since they will guide the following steps of the study. 8. ~o11\PiIe Data The infoi-mation in the libraries need to be compiled into more useable data in graphic form where possible. The followiTlg liteps are suggested to provide a reasonable base for any future study. Land use, as pointed out earlier, can be generalized on an existing Metro Area map. The compatibility of the various electronic maps along with their legends and different land use classifications should be considcrc:d for placement on a single map if possible. While this is not critical, it would make funire steps easier to lUlderstand at discussions of the group_ Traffic volumes can be added to the Metro Series map and be easily reproduced as a special map for the group. The transportation system functional class is already available from the Metropolitan Council and MnlDOT. This should be printed and distnbuted along with any local agency requests for modifications. The tnmsponation system should be defined based OD the land use and transportation plans of the agencies. A major consideration will be the programmed improvements for the system. It is suggested that each of the agencies provide a list of its programmed improvements along with the proposed. year of the impro'Vement. Because tbere are severel agencies involved. it is sugested chat two different maps be developed. one for each of the two counties. It is further suggested that Anoka County obtaht the system improvements from aU agencies within the County and provide a single base map showing current system and programmecl imPJ:ovements. Washington County can do the same for its 11'9. This will provide an excellent base map for futl.1te studies. There are also a number of proposed or recommended improvements which have not yet been programmed by the various _Fncies. These will come from the various reports. It is
