5 Minutes CAS]: ~17: <br /> <br />ENDORSEMENT OF NORTH METRO TRAFFIC TASK FORCE STUDY REPORT <br />By: Anne Norris, Community Development Director <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />As you know, the North Metro Traffic Task Force was established to study the <br />Mississippi River bridge crossing problem. The Task Force created a Technical <br />Subcommittee to do a more detailed study on where additional bridge crossings <br />should be located. <br /> <br />The Technical Subcommittee completed the study and made its final report in <br />May, 1986. The North Metro Traffic Task Force has adopted the Tecbnlcal <br />Subcommittee's report on possible Mississippi River bridge crossings. <br /> <br />The report identifies a corridor (from Ramsey to Coon Rapids) in which <br />additional river crossings are badly needed. The major recommendation of this <br />report is that the next step in the process is to complete the necessary <br />studies to determine which potential bridge crossings in this corridor are most <br />feasible (politically, financially, environmentally, etc.). In addition, the <br />Task Force adopted a resolution endorsing this report and has requested that <br />member communities adopt a similar resolution. <br /> <br />Included in the reference material for your review is a draft of the <br />resolution. <br /> <br />Included as Exhibit B is the Task Force's report. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Council Action: <br /> <br />Motion to: <br />Adopt Resolution #86- endorsin§ the North Metro Traffic Task Force <br />study regarding Mississippi River bridge crossings. <br /> <br />Review Checklist: <br /> <br /> Administrator <br /> Attorney <br /> Engineer <br /> Community Development Dir. <br /> <br /> Chief of Police <br /> Finance Officer <br /> Public Works Superintendent <br />X Economic Devel.
