Johnson then asked for an update on the City/State Goals, Project Issues/Concems paper. Dallam distributed the revised paper which incorporates a (supplemental) new Goal 5 for Long Lake, as introduced at the September 26 Policy Committee meeting and recommended by the Technical Committee at their October 16 meeting. In response to a question from Johnson, Dallam explained that changes in this paper can be recommended by other committees or the general public, but that the Policy Committee would have the responsibility of approving them. The Policy Committee approved the addition of new Goal #5 for Long Lake (see 10-18-90 paper update). A discussion on the possible alternative highway corridors as identified on the base map board was then led by Dallam. They were presented as follows: 1. No build - (not shown, assumes only minor modifications to the existing roadway) 2. Upgrade existing T.H. 12 on the mainline (red line) - to carry local and through traffic 3. T.H. 55 Bypass (northernmost blue line) - to remove outstate through traffic from T.H. 12 4. C.R. 11 Bypass - new nonhem a'ignment between T.H. 55 and T.H. 12 (blue line - suggested by HNTB) - to remove outstate through traffic from T.H. 12 5. C.R. 6 Bypass - new alignment paralleling C.R. 6 nonh of Long Lake (blue line) - to remove outstate and Study Area through traffic from T.H. 12 in Long Lake. 6. South Bypass - new alignment bypassing Long Lake, Maple Plain, and Delano (blue line) - to cany outstate and Study Area through traffic Dallam added that the orange lines represent possible connectors to combine/modify alternatives. The green line represents the old Mn/DOT smdy bypass of Long Lake, which the Citizen’s Committee had asked to identify. The Committee then discussed the availability of cunent traffic data (1988) and that forecasts will probably be available in November. Johnson then asked for comments on the alteraativeL tiom the Committee. Grabek and Hay asked if s»"all copies of the alternative corridors could be made available. Dallam agreed to provide these copies, and said that the Committees would also be receiving full- size prints of the corridors for further study. Wetter mentioned that there is some local confusion that the current Highway 12 improvement program is not the same as the Corridor Study. Humbert added that several localized, minor improvement projects west of Long Lake are programmed for construction.
