The Tinklenberg Group The interchange of strategies and solutions Proposed Extension of the Ramsey US Trunk Highway 10 Improvement Development Plan July, 2020 This proposed extension is intended to capitalize on the exciting accomplishments already achieved under earlier phases of the city's US Trunk Highway 10 Improvement Development Plan and continue the implementation of strategies adopted in that plan. It will support the utilization of federal grant dollars awarded and leverage those dollars to secure state, regional, and MnDOT funding necessary to construct identified improvements on US TH 10 within the City of Ramsey. It will continue to operate under the performance and reporting requirements established in the July, 2015 plan. Work elements of this extension will include a continuation of those identified in earlier extensions of the plan with special emphasis on the following; * Coordinate, on behalf of the City, follow-up and implementation of funding opportunities made available to the US TH 10 corridor during prior sessions of the Minnesota legislature and awarded federal grants. * Coordinate on -going review and consideration of federal and state transportation program and grant opportunities appropriate to US TH 10 improvements within the City of Ramsey. * Facilitate and coordinate the planning and implementation of meetings of communities, business leaders, and elected officials along US TH 10 in support of broader improvement needs in the corridor. * Work with the State's congressional delegation and the US DOT, to identify and pursue federal funding opportunities and programs supportive of the City's US TH 10 improvement goals that have been or may be advanced by the congress or the Trump administration. * Prepare for and facilitate the introduction and consideration of City's 2020 and 2021 legislative proposals related to US TI1 10 improvements. * Identify, recommend, and coordinate as directed, pursuit of additional opportunities for MnDOT grant funding applicable to US TH 10 improvements. ph 763-783-1288 • fax 763-783-9262 • 11234 forest court • minneapolis, mn 55449
