Johnso i Hay called the meeting to order at 1:05 p.m. The December 18, 1990 meeting rranutes were approved as submitted. Hay explained the difficulty he has had in obtaining traffic forecasts for the project, and, as a rtjult, Mn/DOT will contract with HNTB (under an existing transportation planning agreement) to prepare them. This will create a three-month project delay; however, Dallam noted that the benefits of having the consultant prepare the traffic forecasts are "worth the wait" because HNTB will be able to refine the Metro Council’s model into more refined zones (i.e. more time to spend on more refined data) than would Mn/DOT have been able, and overall project coordination would be improved by keeping the project tasks assigned to one consultant. Dallam estimated that the traffic forecasts would be available for the April Technical Committee meeting. (The Committee also decided that this would be the appropriate next meeting date — April 16, 1991.) Therefore, it will not be known whether or not the current TH 55 and CR 11 Alternatives are viable for further study until April. Dallam and Hay explained to the Committee that the existing forecast data from the Metro Council model would be used as a base when incorporating more refinec ’ - zone) data. Brixius asked for more current traffic data for Delano (incoming traffic). *^allam said the forecasts would incorporate 1990 census and data from the new regional Travel Behavior Inventory. Dallam then discussed the status of project mapping and presented base map overlays of the project area’s features. He said a composite photograph with the sixth overlay (black t^>elined acetate of corridor revisions as a result of the avoidance areas found during the mapping ~ e.g. parks, etc. -) and tape would be distributed to Policy Committee representatives at their 1-23-91 meeting, in order for each community to make additional shifts, as deemed appropriate, in the alternative alignments for their communities. Dallam said suggested shifts for the mainline TH 12 upgrade have been studied for Long Lake. However, by shifting the alignment to parallel the railroad, the Pannekoeken ■ ----
