'evT (L <br />TRUNK HIGHWAY 12 <br />TIER 1 EIS CORRIDOR DEVELOPMENT PROJECT •JUN 1 5 1990 <br />city of Maple Plain April 4, 1990 <br />The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MN/DOT) has <br />begun a study to examine the possibility of upgrading Trunk <br />Highway 12 from Wayzata through Delano. In accordance with <br />the Federal National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) this <br />project will be developed as a Two-Tiered Environmental <br />Impact Statement project. This will allow a determination <br />of the highway location as quickly as possible. <br />In addition to MN/DOT, many other federal, state, and <br />local agencies will have input into the project development. <br />This project has the potential for significant impacts to <br />the local communities through which T.H. 12 passes. <br />Community participation in the project development process <br />will be a vital factor in advancing the project. To <br />facilitate this involvement the Trunk Highway 12 Corridor <br />Advisory Board has been formed consisting of three separate <br />committees. Input from all affected agencies and <br />communities as well as availability of funding will serve to <br />select a location and determine design considerations. <br />While MN/DOT has begun the first phase of this project <br />development, it is important to note that this project is <br />not in the MN/DOT program and no funding has been allocated <br />for construction of this facility.In response to questions raised by the City of Maple <br />Plain, a set of questions and answers is attached to this <br />page. However, it is very early in the development of this <br />project and many of the questions are difficult or <br />impossible to answer at this time. <br />ii-i’'
