<br />Rush Une Corridor <br /> <br />665 Government Center West, 50 West Kellogg Boulevard <br />Saint Paul, Minnesota 55102 <br />Phone: (651) 266-2760 Fax: (651) 266-2761 <br />www.rushlinecorridor.com <br /> <br />June 26, 2006 <br /> <br />Mayor Mary Capra <br />City of Centerville <br />1880 Main Street <br />Centerville, MN 55038-9794 <br /> <br />Dear Mayor Capra: <br /> <br />The Rush Line Corridor follows Highway 61 and Interstate 35835 from St. Paul <br />north to Pine City, and is in the process of being extended to Duluth. This is a <br />fast growing corridor with increasing congestion on its roads. Centerville falls <br />within the Rush Line Corridor and is the reason I am writing to request your <br />participation in the Rush Line Corridor Task Force. There are currently sixteen <br />members of the Task Force including counties, cities, and townships. On behalf <br />of the Task Force, I encourage Centerville to consider joining the Rush Line <br />Corridor Task Force. <br /> <br />'- <br /> <br />The Task Force completed a Transit Study in 2001, which analyzed express bus <br />on existing roads, busway on separated rights of way, and commuter rail. This <br />study demonstrated that there is a demand and interest for transit service in the <br />Rush Line Corridor. The study identified several goalS for the Corridor, including: <br /> <br />· Increase transit ridership and reduce auto dependency. <br />· Reduce travel delays and congestion in the corridor. <br />· Develop transit improvements consistent with public support and public <br />policy direction. <br />· Improve access to corridor jobs and activity centers. <br />· Encourage and shape appropriate development and land use. <br />· Preserve and enhance natural and cultural resources. <br /> <br />A new study will begin later this year to study the restoration of passenger rail <br />service to Duluth from the St. Paul Union Depot, which is being developed into a <br />multi-modal terminal. This is another exciting reason for Centerville to participate <br />on the Task Force. Please understand that Centerville will not be asked for <br />financial contributions to participate in the Task Force. <br /> <br />~l <br /> <br />Members include: Regional Railroad Authorities of Chisago, Ramsey, Washington Counties; A~oka C?unty, Pin\COunty, <br />the Cities of Forest Lake, Harris, Hugo, Little Canada, Map~ewood, North. Branch, R~sh CIty, WhIte Bear La e, <br />and Wyoming; White Bear TownshIp; and Wyoming Township. <br />
