Box 66 <br />Crystal Bay, Minnesota 55323 <br />RE: S.P. 2713 Trunk Highway 12 <br />Corridor Oevelopnent study <br />Dear Mayor Grabek; <br />The Minnesota Departnent of Transportation (MN/DOT) has <br />begun a prellalnary study to evaluate potential corridor <br />locations for T.H. 12 between Wayzata and Delano. The <br />consulting engineering firm of Howard Needles Tannen & <br />Bergendoff has been hired to assist us with this study <br />which should last approxinately one year. <br />This is the first step of what could becone a lengthy <br />project development process which may have major impacts <br />on the cities along this corridor. Community participation <br />play an important and continuing role throughout the <br />study. An ad-hoc committee representing these communities <br />recently met with MN/DOT and recommended the formation of <br />three advisory groups to provide input into the corridor <br />development project. These groups will be known as; The <br />Citizens Advisory Committee, The Corridor Policy Board, <br />and The Technical Task Force. The precise roles and <br />responsibilities of each group is still being defined but <br />a general overview of their function is outlined below. <br />The Citizens Advisory Committee will be comprised of <br />two representatives from each community but will be somewhat <br />informal and will allow participation by other citizens as <br />well. This group will provide the perspective of area <br />residents to the project development and will also serve as <br />a liaison between the group and the community at-large. <br />The Corridor Policy Board should have one primary and one <br />alternate representative from each community. Members of <br />this group should have a knowledge of their cities’ plans <br />and policies and will be responsible for promoting the goals <br />of their community. <br />MINNESOTA <br />W40 <br />An Equal Opportunity Employer
