TRUNK HIGHWAY #47 CORRIDOR STUDY <br />By: Steve Jankowski, City Engineer <br />Background: <br />CASE # <br />In the fall of 1995, the City initiated a Corridor Study along T.H. #47, south of 167th Avenue. <br />The purpose of this study included: (a) determining the extent of current traffic operations, <br />problems and possible solutions; (b) providing for the needs of the City by developing an access <br />management plan and ultimate roadway design; and (c) developing a planning time table for when <br />additional improvements are likely. <br />The process which led to the development of the draft study which is being considered tonight was <br />prepared by SU' Consulting Group with input provided through monthly meetings with a study <br />steering committee which consisted of MnDOT, Anoka County Highway Department, and the City <br />of Ramsey Road and Bridge Committee. On January 17, 1996, the public was invited to attend an <br />open house on the study. Concerns expressed by the public at this meeting were summarized and <br />addressed in the draft document. In addition, a workshop session was held on March 19, 1996, <br />with steering committee representatives and individuals who cited concerns over issues of access, <br />land acquisitions, and potential funding. <br />Tonight's public, hearing is intended to receive formal public comment on the study which, after <br />adoption, will be considered a part of the City's Comprehensive Plan. In addition to public <br />comment, receipt of written comments are anticipated from Anoka County, MnDOT, and <br />Metropolitan Council. <br />Council Action: <br />Hold the public hearing. Motion to direct SRF to prepare responses to the comments made by the <br />public and reviewing agencies. <br />Reviewed by: <br />City Engineer <br />City Administrator <br />Zoning Administrator <br />CC: 43/26/96 <br />/jmt <br />CD <br />
