Anoka County's transportation system is affected by many factors within and outside <br />the county. Conversely, decisions regarding the county's transportation system affect <br />transportation in the local communities, surrounding counties, the region, and to some <br />extent, the state. Recognizing the context of this Plan, Anoka County staff collaborated <br />with many different groups during plan development to ensure a final product that best <br />serves the county, the communities within the county, the region and the state. This <br />section provides an overview of this collaboration. <br />5J COOIKLANAIiION WITH ANOKA COUNTY COMMUNITIE <br />Similar to Anoka County, all cities are required to submit updated Comprehensive Plans <br />to the Metropolitan Council. In Anoka County, land use control is the jurisdiction of the <br />cities. This requires cities and the county to work together to facilitate coordinated <br />transportation facility planning. <br />Recognizing the importance of the interrelationship between the County and local <br />communities, early in the planning process the County arranged meetings with the <br />communities to discuss current transportation issues and priorities and review the TAZ <br />data assembled for each community by the Metropolitan Council. Over 20 meetings <br />were held over a two month period. Table 1 in Appendix H provides a summary of these <br />meetings, including the staff who participated, the status of their TAZ data, and issues and <br />priorities discussed. <br />Intersection in Anoka County (Source: Anoka County) <br />ANOKA COUNTY 2040 TRANSPORTATION PLAN UPDATE I CHAPTER 5 - COLLABORATION WITH COMMUNITIES, AGENCIES, AND THE PUBLIC 91 <br />
