07/14/2003 MON 11:01 PAl 1iI007/00S Work Program '"Tri-CilY Coalition" 1-3SB Corridor Study lune 25, 2003 Page 5 consultant if one is hired., should be prepared to lead an agency meeting to address the following four general areas. The data oollected should be presented and called information that we have. This can be summarize4 through the existing traffic volume maps. land use maps. and historical 1raffic volume data. The system operation will provide an analysis of what we know, This will be primarily a review of the system operation using the IIno build system and committed projects."' It is necessary to provide this review back to nem No. 2 which is the problems and concerns and the refinement at those in Item No.9. The first analysis. which inoludes the chunp to the syatcm. will develop into what we have leamed. This analysis and The adjustments made to the roadway system. should serve as the basis for future Phase n study. What should be done. or Dext steps, is the most important pan of this meeting. If the system concepts included relocating roads, such as County Road 14, some concepts for the stUdy of the relocation need to be discussed. These CllD be done as part of the ove.rall plan or more a intense plan erm be utilized to determine some of the impacts on the environment and on the local sUcct systems. However. it needs to be done in conjunction with the (Werdll area roadway plans. If an additional interchange is proposed at County Road 4A (80m Street) this may need to be incorporated into a more lengthy study of the interstate system through Anoka, WuhingLon and Chisago counties. It may be desirable to incorporate studies into 1ll1"ger studies or to pull out segments of studies for more intense scrtltiny in Phase II. However, the work done in Phase I will provide an excellent base. It is also important at this time to review the land use plans to determine if there are specific clements which are negatively impacting the transportation system. Intense commercial use which will overload segments of the roadway system may actually preclude the successful development of the properlies. Thus. there needs to be an evaluation of land use as well as the roadway system at this point. This is why Phase n is somewhat unknown at this point in the work p1'Ogram development. Summary The work program, until Item No.9, is primarily one which can be handled by staff given some higher level of effort on the part of all agencies to collect data, provide input and to serve as colleetion agencies. If all agencies agree to participate. the need for outsic1e assistance may be put off until Phase n or at least until Item No.9 in the work program, If the combination of existing staffs is to be utili~ each staff has to make a commitment to provide the necessary time and to meet some schedules which should be set It should not be viewed that this is a
