The outline is <br />excellent in listing qualifications necessary for selecting someone to <br />complete a corridor study. Mn/DOT will be doing the study and has selected a <br />consultant that meets the criteria established. <br />The "coinmuni:y transportation planning" section is appropriate. The City has <br />great concerns as to the manner in which the selected corridor affects local <br />transportation. This would be relative to access to the corridor and the <br />traffic impact on the existing street network. <br />The "Highway 12 corridor selection" process is outlined adequately. The <br />location of this corridor is the major issue because of its pote.-jial impacts <br />on Orono residents. The local community has to balance the transportation <br />need with land use and minimize the impact on its citizens. <br />The criteria for selection of the consultant is identified in two parts. Part <br />•A" deals with the needs of the City and seems appropriate for the selection. <br />Pert "B" is generally related to experience on previous corridor studies and <br />should not carry as much weight in the selection process. <br />The most important qualifications of the consultant should be fimllarity with <br />the community and local transportation planning. An understanding of the <br />Mn/DOT study process is all that is required to ensure that the City's <br />interests will be represented. <br />BRA would be able to meet the selection critera for Part "A". Ve have not <br />been employed by Mn/DOT to conduct a corridor study so we would not. for the <br />most part, meet all of the criteria outlined in Part "8". But Cary Rylandcr <br />and I have a great deal of expedrience working with M&.'DOT and ve are very <br />well acquanted with the process. In fact, we have wc»rf.tj4 • .osely with Chaska <br />officials on representing their interests regarding new T.M. 212.
