RE:
TH 10 INTERREGIONAL CORRIDOR STUDY
TH 169 INTERREGIONAL CORRIDOR STUDY
RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF INTERREGIONAL CORRIDOR
MANAGEMENT PLAN
Dear Council Members:
Mn/DOT is requesting that the City of Elk River adopt a resolution for both the TH 10 and
TH 169 Interregional Corridor Management Plans. City staff had originally anticipated
that the City Council would not consider these resolutions until there was an opportunity
for the City Council to hold public headngs with Mn/DOT and the consultants for the
studies available to present the plan and the City Council to take feedback from the
public. However, recently City staff has been informed that the City of Elk River is
apparently the only governmental jurisdiction involved in the studies that has not
considered adopting the resolutions regarding the Corridor Management Plans.
Therefore, staff has decided to bring these resolutions forward at this time.
There are several different ways the City Council can approach this issue. City Council
could consider one of the following options or a variation. The options staff sees are as
follows:
Take no action on the resolutions and let the final Corridor Management Plans be
published without a resolution from the City of Elk River.
Adopt a resolution that simply states that the City of Elk River was a participant in
the planning process and does or does not agree with the vision statement or goals
of the plan.
Adopt the resolution in the format suggested by Mn/DOT with a list of issues that
need further discussion. These issues could be as specific as commenting directly
on portions of the plan recommendation, or as generic as identifying segments that
need further discussion and planning before the City is willing to accept them.
Attached to this correspondence are the following items from each Interregional Corridor
Management Plan:

Rogers, Elk River, Princeton and Milaca. The second round of public open houses was held March 18
and 19, 2002 at two locations: Princeton and Elk River. Members of the CMP project team were
available at each meeting to answer questions and obtain input.
1.3 Corridor Vision Statement and Need for Action
1.3.1 Corridor Vision Statement
Developing a corridor vision for 2025 involved several steps, including the early development of a
Vision Statement (see box below). The Vision Statement established the basic goals of the corridor
planning process, included 2025 performance goals, and outlined the roles that Mn/DOT and other
corridor partners can expect to play as the planning process moves toward implementation.
The vision statement was developed with input from the corridor partners after a process of issue
identification, preliminary traffic forecasting, and early performance predictions. The corridor
partners considered how the highways serve their communities, what they perceived as an
acceptable level of service, and what they felt was an acceptable level of impact to local and through
transportation systems. Corridor partners desires and concerns about future performance of the
corridor were addressed through a continual refinement of the vision statement. The following steps
outline the process used to refine the vision statement:
· Review corridor issues, deficiencies, and objectives
· Identify alternative strategies or improvement concepts
· Analyze and discuss advantages and disadvantages of the improvement concepts
· Determine short- and long-term consensus approaches by corridor partners
TH 101 - TH 169 Corridor Vision Statement
1. CORRIDOR MANAGEMENT PLAN GOALS
The CMP will be developed to achieve a balance between the needs and visions of individual communities and the safe and
efficient movement of people and goods. Specifically, the planning process will strive to minimize adverse community effects while
maintaining or improving both interregional and local traffic operations.
2. HIGHWAY PERFORMANCE GOALS
Mn/DOT and its corridor partners have established the future highway performance goals (2025) for the TH 101-TH 169 IRC as
follows:
· Improve travel time performance and predictability to meet the target speed of 60 mph for the high priority segment from
Rogers to Zimmerman, minimizing delays on TH 101-TH 169 and on intersecting roadways.
· Maintain or improve travel time performance and predictability to meet the target speed of 55 mph for the medium priority
segment from Zimmerman to Garrison, minimizing delays on TH 169 and on intersecting roadways.
· Improve safety to achieve crash rates better than the statewide average, limiting conflicts between the various vehicle types
and pedestrians.
3. IMPLEMENTATION APPROACHES AND ROLES
These goals will be achieved by focusing highway project investments, guiding future land use patterns, and managing highway
access points. Mn/DOT and its corridor partners will provide leadership toward the achievement of corridor goals by sharing their
visions, promoting projects or initiatives, and protecting or enhancing community image and natural resources.

the monetary value of both advantages (benefits) and disadvantages (costs) of various highway
projects. The result of a benefit-cost analysis is a ratio that indicates the economic desirability of
a project from a monetary point of view. Generally, an investment is considered economically
viable when the benefits exceed the costs--in other words, when the benefit-cost ratio is greater
than one. While the benefit-cost ratio is a valuable tool, it is also important to weigh the results
of the analysis against additional factors such as environmental, social, and other community
impacts. The results of the benefit-cost analyses for the 13 potential projects are summarized in

planning and development reviews, and would prevent new signals from being installed. A
possible final stage of project development would be the 6-1ane segment from north of Rogers to
Elk River. Planning for this last phase would begin in 15 to 20 years.
To further its project prioritization work for multiple IRCs, Mn/DOT has categorized various
IRC projects as follows (with reference to the projects identified in this CMP):
· Category I Projects. Already prOgrammed--includes: (a) the Sherburne CR 33 interchange
project, (b) the Sherburne CSAH 9 interchange project, (c) safety improvements at Mille
Lacs CSAH 11, and (d) the upgrade of TH 169 to four lanes from Onamia to Garrison. These
projects are already included in the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) or
the Work and Studies Plan.
· Category II Projects. Strategic Projects to Reach IRC Performance Targets--includes:
(a) seven potential projects to upgrade TH 101-TH 169 to a 4-lane freeway from 1-94 in
Rogers through Jackson/197th Street in Elk River; and (b) the development of a new
interchange at CSAH 4 in Zimmerman. As previously discussed, these projects are
considered the top priorities for further study and development because they will be
necessary to achieve IRC speed and safety performance targets.
· Category III. Long-Term Vision Projects to Achieve Other Goals--includes: (a) potential
expansion of a future four-lane freeway to six lanes from Rogers through Elk River; (b) five
potential future upgrades (new interchanges) to achieve a continuous freeway from Elk
River to Princeton; and (c) access consolidation and related actions along unsignalized
expressway from Princeton to Onamia.
The above-referenced projects are also listed individually by category, with estimated costs, in
Appendix D--see Table D-4, page D-10. The recommended process to actually manage the
corridor in the future, discussed in Section 5.4 below, is built around these project priorities.
5.4 Corridor Management Recommendations
Several recommendations have been developed based on preliminary project performance
evaluations and prioritization work. The recommendations are structured to identify the
highest priorities for follow-up actions to be taken as the planning process concludes.
The responsibilities of corridor partners relative to each of these recommendations are also
discussed. Mn/DOT will play the largest role in the implementation of these recommendations;
however, the corridor vision could not have been successfully developed, nor can it be
successfully implemented, without the cooperation of city, county, and township governments.
Additionally, environmental stakeholders, such as the Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, have participated in the CMP process
and will undoubtedly continue to do so in the future.

Both meetings are scheduled from 4:30 to 7:00 PM
The same information will be presented at each meeting.
Review the Draft Corridor Management Plan
The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) is inviting the public to a Public
Information Open House to review and comment on the Draft Corridor Management Plan for the
Highway 10 Corridor. Mn/DOT staff and its consultant Howard R. Green Company (HRG) will
be there to share the information gathered and analyzed in the development of the Draft Corridor
Management Plan. We need your input now before the Corridor Management Plan is finalized.
What is the Highway 10 Corridor?
The Highway 10 Corridor is approximately 48 miles long and extends northwest from I-35W in
Mounds View through Anoka and Sherburne Counties to the Highway 24 intersection in Clear
Lake. Highway 10 is one of seven interregional corridors established by Mn/DOT in January
2000 to address future transportation needs that connect regional trade centers throughout the
state.
Development of Corridor Management Plan
Input from the public meeting held in July 2001 was used, along with technical analysis of
existing conditions to help identify that there are deficiencies in the corridor, what they are, and
where they are located. The two advisory committees helped to develop an overall vision for the
corridor. A sub area vision was developed for each of the three sub areas to address the needs of
each. A range of alternatives were identified and evaluated against the measures of effectiveness
to determine a number of project concepts that could address the deficiencies in the Highway 10
Corridor. Measures of effectiveness for the Highway 10 Corridor include mobility and traffic
operations, safety, access and supporting roadway system, and alternative modes of
transportation. Input from the Advisory Committees helped to refine the number of project
concepts that were included in a concept-level cost estimate. A benefit/cost analysis was
completed for the remaining project concepts that were then prioritized into short-, medium-, and
long-term projects.
Eight Project Concepts Fulfill Vision - Estimated Cost $460 Million Over 20+ Years
The final list of alternatives includes eight major projects to address the future capacity and
safety needs along the Highway 10 Corridor. The total cost for all projects along the roadway is
estimated to be $460 million (2001 dollars). A number of interim projects to help improve safety
and mobility have also been identified that could be completed before or concurrently with the
major projects. The/<7sion for the corridor is to achieve a balance between regional mobility and
local circulation.
Plan Identifies Long-range Project Phasing and h~terim Projects
The final set of long-range projects were prioritized. A potential implementation schedule was
developed in the event that Mn/DOT is able to secure additional funding, as follows:
· Short-Term 2002 - 2010
Medium-term 2010 - 2018
· Long-term 2018 - 2025
Interim projects were also identified that could be implemented in partnership with the cities and
counties along the corridor prior to the implementation of the long-range projects. They include
removing lane drops to provide roadway continuity; access management such as eliminating
private driveways, closing medians, and developing a supporting roadway system; and
operational and safety improvements that include median left-turn lanes, intersection street
lighting, and revising traffic signal tin'ring.
Where Are We? What's Next?
Currently, the Draft Corridor Management Plan (Plan) is out for review and comment. The cities
and counties are in the process of developing resolutions in support of the Plan to submit to
Mn/DOT. The exceptions are issues that will need a continuing dialogue until resolution is
reached. The next step is to finalize the Plan, which is scheduled for completion in May 2002.

MN/DOT INVITES PUBLIC TO COMMENT AT OPEN HOUSES ON
HIGHWAY 10 DRAFT CORRIDOR MANAGEMENT PLAN
(ROSEVILLE, Minn.)~ The public is invited to a public information open house to
review and comment on the Highway 10 Draft Corridor Management Plan.
Mn/DOT and its consultant, Howard R. Green Company (HRG), will be there to
share information gathered and analyzed in the development of the Draft Corridor
Management Plan (CMP). Input from the public meeting held in July 2001, along with
technical analysis of existing conditions, were used to help identify that there are
deficiencies, wha! they are, and u, here they are located. A range of alternatives were
identified and evaluated during the screening process. The final list of alternatives
includes eight long-range projects to address the future capacity and safety needs along
the Highway 10 Corridor. The total cost for all projects along the roadway is estimated to
be $460 million (2001 dollars) over a 20+ year time frame.
The open houses will be held from 4:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. as follows:

The steps in the process were to develop an overall vision for the corridor with
help from the two advisory committees. A range of alternatives were identified and
evaluated against the measures of effectiveness to determine a number of project
concepts that could address the deficiencies in the Highway 1 0 Corridor. Measures of
effectiveness lbr the Highway 10 Corridor include mobility and traffic operations, safety,
access/supporting roadway system, and alternative modes of transportation. Input from
the Advisory Committees helped to refine the number of project concepts that were
included in a concept-level cost estimate. A benefit/cost analysis was completed for the
remaining project concepts that were then prioritized into short-, medium-, and long-term
projects.
Interim projects were also identified that could be implemented in partnership
with the cities and counties along the corridor prior to, or concurrent with, the
implementation of the long-range projects. They include removing lane drops to provide
roadway continuity; access management such as eliminating private driveways, closing
medians, and developing a supporting roadway system; and operational and safety
improvements that include median left-turn lanes, intersection street lighting, and
revising traffic signal timing. The final Plan for the Highway 10 Corridor will be an
overall blueprint to guide future steps for roadway improvements that address safety,
mobility and access through the Highway 10 Corridor.

1.3 Vision Statement
The development of the Vision Statement for the TH 10 corridor has been an evolving
process. The overall draft Vision Statement was presented to the study's Policy and
Technical Advisory Committees for their review and comment. With their input, the
Vision Statement was revised and has guided the development of the application of the
vision by subarea. The TH 10 overall vision for the corridor follows.
TRUNK HIGHWAY (TH) 10 INTERREGIONAL CORRIDOR
TH 24 to 1-35W
(Clear Lake to Mounds View)
VISION STATEMENT
A Focus on Mobility, Safety, Balance, and Partnership
The Vision for the TH 10 Interregional Corridor is to achieve a balance betwee:
regional mobility and local circulation. The balance point will be dynamic along
corridor and responsive to interregional connectivity goals and local commm'.,,
needs.
The Vision is to achieve interregional system goals for speed and safety as well at
improve local circulation. Mobility should be addressed by providing a high qua
of traffic flow and better managing access from adjacent land uses with a h' ~
priority on safety. Consistency with local land use plans is critical to implementatio,.
The path from Vision to Reality is dependent on a partnership among all stakehold,'r
to achieve a balanced mobility. Townships, cities, counties, Mn/DOT, other state
local agencies, and the corridor stakeholders will need to plan and work together
achieve intra-city access and intercity mobility.
Subarea workshops were held to enlist the help of the two advisory committees in
developing the application of the vision to the subareas. See Chapter 2 for a further
discussion of the subarea workshops.
