tervi{{e 'L.Qa6{islietl1857 MEMORANDUM DATE: May 12, 2003 TO: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers Planning and Zoning Chair and Commission Members FROM: Kim Moore-Sykes, City Administrator RE: Notes from the March 20, 2003 Tri-City Meeting. .................................................................................... As you recall from the March 20, 2003 Tri-City meeting, those in attendance were asked to think about issues that will impact our cities, communities and the area. Traffic was determined to be a major issue for the whole area that is adjacent to I35E, CSAH 8/14 (Main Street) and now CSAH 21 (20th Avenue). CSAH 21 is emerging as a major roadway of concern due to the possible construction of Eagle Brook Church and future commercial development plans for Lino Lakes and Columbus Township. Some of those possible study issues were listed at the Tri-City Meeting and are as follows: 1.) I35W/I35E Connection. There was an idea at one time that perhaps the connection to link I35E and I35W would occur to the north ofCenterville. The thought was that if the connection went north, then the road improvements to CSAH 14 would not necessary be so significant. As we've learned, this has turned out to not be the case; Anoka County has moved ahead with road improvement plans for CSAH 14 due to various impediments to new road construction to the north. 2.) CSAH 8/14 Impact on Hosting Cities. What are the potential impacts? Economically? On the community? City's infrastructure? Area infrastructure? 3.) How Do We get Ahead of the Proiects? Design standards for the city? Design standards for the area? Working with the various jurisdictions to accomplish design standards. 4.) Border Road with Hugo and Lino Lakes. 5.) Broadway and Highway 97. 6.) Access Management for CSAH 21. Lino Lakes and Centerville 7.) Multi-modal Facilities. Pedestrian, Park & Rides 8.) Trunk Hi2hway 61. Turn back to Anoka County from MNDOT.
