Discussion next centered around a number of topics concerning taxes, schools, and other issues. I was not able <br /> to determine if there was anything Jane's office might do about those issues.

Again, Pictures are NOT included for Email efficiency. If anyone <br /> would like the complete handout, either in Email fortn or hardcopy, please contact me. <br /> �� �� <br /> v one ets the <br /> If anyone has any questions, suggestions, or comments, please do a REPLY ALL so e ery g <br /> information. <br /> Thanks muchl <br /> , Wayne LeBlanc <br /> wayne.leblanc@unisys. com <br /> 651-426-0168 home <br /> 651-635-6519 work <br /> The Need for an Added Interchange at I35E and I35W <br /> February 2, 2001, Wayne LeBlanc, 651-426-0168 <br /> A huge area of lakes and natural wetlands 12 miles long forms a"road blockade" for east/west travel forcing traffic <br /> through downtown Centerville on Main Street. Although somewhat tolerable now, as development and density in the area <br /> increases, the resulting increased volume of traffic threatens to ruin the community. City of Centerville officials and <br /> residents all agree that Main Street should NOT become a major thoroughfare for the whole area and Main Street should <br /> remain 2lanes with slow moving traffic. If it becomes a 41ane fast moving tharoughfare, the added width will force <br /> demolition of many valuable and historic buildings in downtown Centerville and the resulting mass of traffic will divide <br /> the City of Centerville in two. The map below shows how traffic along an area 12 miles long is forced to travel Main <br /> Street through Centerville to go east from the Blaine area or to go west from the Hugo area. <br /> The City of Centerville has looked at a number of options, but the only remaining effective option seems to be an added <br /> interchange at the I35W and I35E intersection that would allow traffic to go from I35W to I35E and traffic on I35E to go <br /> to I35W. This interchange might also be less expensive than rebuilding Main Street through miles and miles of wetlands. <br /> This new interchange could allow further improved traffic flow in the distant future with possible added interchanges at <br /> SOt'' Street and I35E and at Main Street and I35W. <br /> Any information on how we might help bring this new interchange about would be appreciated. Are there funding or <br /> resources available for studies, planning, and implementation for this interchange? <br /> Pedestrian Brid�e Over I35E Need <br /> February 2, 2001, Centerville Park and Recreation, 651-429-3232, Wayne LeBlanc, 651-426-0168 <br /> , The purpose of this plan is to illustrate the need for a pedestrian brid�e across I35E about % mile south of the highway 14 <br /> � junction near Centerville. A beautiful trail has just been constructed in the Chain of Lakes Park Reserve and will connect <br /> to trails leading to Minneapolis and beyond. A trail in Hugo running north on highway 61 already exists and will continue <br /> to Duluth. Centerville has agreed to lead trails from the Chain of Lakes Park to I35E and Lino Lakes and Hugo have <br /> agreed to lead a trail to I35E but what is needed is a pedestrian bridge to connect these two great trail systems. The whole <br /> state will benefit from this connection. The map below, taken from the Metropolitan Council "Regional Parks - A Map <br /> , and Guide," shows the trail gap between Centerville and Hugo. Large green dots indicate trails. <br /> The map on the lower left shows a detailed plan of Centerville trails. A trail through the Chain of Lakes Park to the left of <br /> "H" and around the south end of Centerville Lake to "I" and to Centerville Road is complete. Centerville will construct a <br /> 2 <br />
