Scheuer <br />Hay called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m. The agenda and the minutes of the August 22, <br />1990 Policy Committee meeting were approved as written. <br />There was discussion of the TH 12 Corridor Committees - their purpose and function, and <br />why a member of one committee should not be a member of another committee. <br />Dallam then updated the Committee on changes to the Goals and Issues paper by <br />community. He explained that the changes resulted from input from members of the other <br />committees and subsequent meetings with local members of the representative communities. <br />A list of initial objectives and issues was received from the City of Orono, to which <br />M. Johnson and G. Acromite stated should serve as a model for other affected project <br />communities within the Metropolitan Council ’s jurisdiction. It was agreed that the objectives <br />should be added to the list of goals. (See Attachment I). <br />Dallam then began a discussion on possible alternatives that have been identified by <br />representatives of the three committees and others. He mentioned that the Techmcal <br />Committee had asked to have layouts prepared for three types of highway - a rural and <br />urban at-grade alignment (expressways) and a freeway alignment - for the Long <br />Lake/Orono area, since it is the most developed portion of the smdy area. Kunze ^ked <br />whether TH 55 would also be studied as an alternative. It was stated that this option is <br />included as one of the TH 12 alternatives. Discussion followed on using this corridor as an <br />alternative ("east end" issues of TH 12; how traffic/design considerations would be evaluated <br />by diverting traffic to TH 55). Dallam responded to a question from Humbert that <br />preliminary layouts would be prepared for all alternatives that survive the initial evaluation <br />process. <br />-1-
