1 patterns with a new bridge. The analysis suggests that the bridge <br /> would draw traffic from the east,creating traffic impacts not seen <br /> today. <br /> • The future capacity and alignment of State Trunk Highway 47 has <br /> important implications for both transportation and land use. <br /> • Planning for the future of the Central Rural Reserve area requires <br /> a decision on the future extension ofVariolite Street. It is possible <br /> that continued planning will identify other"new"streets that are <br /> needed to support movement within Ramsey,but require difficult <br /> land use decisions. <br /> The Comprehensive Plan update must provide the means of addressing <br /> these issues. The process requires a combination of planning, technical <br /> analysis and consensus building that cannot be accomplished within the <br /> project as currently envisioned. <br /> Scope of Work <br /> HKGi has used its knowledge of Ramsey and experience with other cities <br /> to design the following process for updating the Comprehensive Plan. It <br /> is designed to make most effective use of the unique resources available <br /> for this project. <br /> We encourage you to view this proposal not as a final product, but as <br /> a starting point for further discussion. The best result will come from <br /> taking the ideas presented here and working with you to determine the <br /> right process for Ramsey. <br /> Participate in Ramsey3 <br /> Our participation in Ramsey3 is essential to ensuring that the results <br /> flow seemlessly into the Comprehensive Plan update. We do not envision <br /> our participation to be active, in seeking to influence the outcome. We <br /> benefit greatly from simply observing the process. First-hand experience <br /> with the discussions that take place in Ramsey3 will be essential to our <br /> understanding of what happens. We would, however, welcome any <br /> opportunity to offer suggestions on how the Ramsey3 process could be <br /> tailored to benefit the Comprehensive Plan update. <br /> HKGi will participate in the critical issue forums (R1) and open space <br /> technology(R2)that are part of the Ramsey3 process. We will work with <br /> the City to determine how to design the Comprehensive Plan update <br /> Hoisington Koegler Group Inc. 1111111 <br /> page 27 <br />
