<br />S. Hay opened the meeting shoniy after 4:00 p.m. The meeting agenda was approved as
<br />submitted as were the minutes form the September 20 meeting. Dallam distributed
<br />committee lists, discussed the modifications to the Goals/Issues/Concems paper that were
<br />recommended at the September 26 Policy Committee meeting (Metropolitan concerns) and
<br />the addition of a second goal for the City of Long Lake as a result of the Technical
<br />Committee ’s recommendation at their October 16 meeting. (See updated paper).
<br />Dallam also distributed a handout which identified Social, Economic, and Environmental
<br />impacts to be evaluated for each alternative in the EIS. Also distributed was historic T.H.
<br />12 traffic volume data and typical rural/urban freeway/expressway cross sections.
<br />A discussion of possible alternatives was then begun. Dallam explained that the base map
<br />represents the no-build alternative and other alternatives to it, and that each alternative
<br />(except a mainline upgrade of T.H. 12) provides the ability to divert long through trips in
<br />the project area. The five general corridor alternatives which were prepared using
<br />committee input and available data sensitive to wetlands, parks, developed areas, etc. are
<br />as follows:
<br />1.
<br />Z
<br />Along T.H. 55 westward from 1-494 bypassing Rockford to the south;
<br />New northern alignment (between T.H. 12 and T.H. 55), northwest from near
<br />Femdale Road, through Medina, and westward through Independence (S. of CJi.
<br />11);
<br />3.Northwest from near Femdale Road and westward parallel with C.R. 6, then back
<br />to mainline T.H. 12 east of Maple Plain;
<br />fAToSt: the ebove have several variations through and bypassing Deiano before reconnecting to existing TJi. 12 in
