Cosgrove, P. Pittel, S. Dse Hay called the meeting to order at 1:12 p.m. The minutes of the November 13, 1990 meeting were approved as submitted. Dallam provided an update on the project status. He said that two communities (Maple Plain and Long Lake) had provided input thus far for the "special features" overlay. He mentioned that the Qty of Orono held a recent public meeting to discuss the Scoping process with the public and the alternatives under consideration. HNTB has all inventory data and is in the process of preparing the overlays, but to present complete overlay data and begin the corridor screening process, Dallam said that the remainder of the communities need to finish and submit their "special features". (Representatives discussed that their communities would submit as soon as possible to HN IB. Gerhardson presented Orono ’s "special features" and other data at the end of the meeting.) Dallam distributed the revised project schedule which states that the corridors will be screened in January — Dallam estimated it would probably take two meetings per committee to finish the screening. The next Technical Committee Meeting will be held on January 22, 1991, to begin the screening process. Hay then presented preliminary traffic forecast data for the expanded in-place alignment of TH 12, the CSAH 11 Bypass, and the South Bypass Alternatives. Also included were 1988 traffic counts for TH 12 arid TH 55. Hay said the volumes show demand (planning) forecasts based on the Metro Council ’s model The demand forecasts are unconstrained, so the volumes may exceed current roadway capacity. County road forecasts will be provided with the next iteration and refinement of foe tnffic data. The preliminary forecast for TH 55 was not distributed because foe projections were not viewed to be reasonable, according to Hay. Hay said that foe South Bypass Alternatives take foe majority of growth in the project area and alleviate traffic growth through Long Lake on TH12. Committee discussion on foe traffic forecasts included their development (Dallam explained the Metro Council ’s model), assunqitioos thaik have to be made for Wri^t County (which is outside the Metro Count ’s seven-county &M4c;^-4ng area), and that foe traffic demand
