T.H. 12 Corridor Study - Policy Committee Minutes <br />September 26, 1990 <br />Page 3 <br />K. Riley asked for what purpose the aerial surveying/videotaping would be conducted. <br />Discussion followed on the need to do this, its usefulness to the project, and how it may be <br />conducted in conjunction with other projects. <br />G. Johnson mentioned that cities to the west along TH 12 would be meeting for a funding <br />lobby day, and recommended that TH 12 associated groups (for this project) join together <br />to lobby for funds. <br />P. Pittel recommended the following change for Lx)ng Lake ’s goals: "Ensure syo dval for <br />Long Lake". <br />Other questions from the audience focused on probable impacts that alternative corridors <br />would have on school districts and the Luce Line Trail (acquisition or joint use), and that <br />the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) would cover these issues. The EIS could begin <br />in July 1991 and continue for about two yeu'S. Alternatives to be studied should <br />(realistically) not exceed four, according to Hay, including the No Build alternative. <br />However, sdl feasible alternatives will be studied in the EIS. <br />Pittel asked whether traffic forecasts would consider the new (Hennepin County) park in <br />Minnetrista, expected to place a considerable quantity of traffic on TH 12 (that could not <br />be served by a TH 55 alternative). Hay said that traffic forecasts do consider development <br />and land use changes that are occurring in the area. <br />Other audience questions dealt with the project schedule, and when data/mapping would <br />be available. Delays have been incurred as a result of obtaining mapping and revising old <br />data, but Hay and Dallam said the project is still close to the original schedule. <br />Acromite asked if corridor alternative overlays (on the base map) would be available for the <br />next Policy Committee meeting. Dallam said that the layouts prepared will only show the <br />Orono/Long Lake area (see previous discussion on "alternatives") and that these overlays <br />are not intended to replace item #7 in the Schedule of Activities (Prelimmary Layouts of <br />Remaining Corridors). <br />Next meeting — October 24, 1990, Maple Plain City Hall, 5:30 p.m. <br />Meeting adjourned at 6:45 p.m. <br />IMWfOUCVJIW <br />-3-
