Brian and other Mn/DOT staff noted that the <br />selection of the IRC projects was the result of a planning process that took place over the <br />last two years. Brian stated that TH 10 is a high priority corridor from 1-35W to TH i 69 and <br />a medium priority corridor from TH:169 to TH 24 in Clear Lake: Brian also stated that IRC <br />roadways represent 2% of road system but carry 30% of the traffic. <br /> <br />Lynn Bly of Mn/DOT noted that the TH 10 Corridor to be studied goes beyond the righbof- <br />way lines and that land use and modal issues will be examined. <br /> <br />Mn/DOT staff also indicated that there are two other river crossing studies where TH 10 <br />and 1-94 would be connected bietween the city of Anoka and' Saint Cloud. The Northstar <br />Corridor ElS should have a record of decision by the end of September and the District 3's <br />TH 10 corridor study has been wrapped up and will be folded into this ,study. <br /> <br />lsaacson and Howard Preston noted that the main objective for the TH 10 IRC study is to <br />develop a shared vision along corridor and achieve compatibility with community plans. <br /> <br />A PAC member asked why TH 65 was not selected as an IRC. Brian Isaacson stated that <br />it was due in part to the spacing of N-S principal arterials (TH 65 caught in the middle <br />between TH 169 and 1-35W). Also TH 65 is not a principal arterial beyond Isanti. CountY. <br />T em/ Humbert also noted that TH 65 does not connect to a regional trade center. <br /> <br />Page 1 of 14. 43 <br /> <br /> <br />
