/ SON 2! .-. NAC o�i RAN 1SEY '' The Continuity Corridor Vision will serve as a guide for development of the transportation system. To help assure that this Vision is implemented, consensus on the Vision was developed and documented in a Memorandum of Understanding(MOU)between Rice County and its cities and townships. The MOU serves as a valuable tool to affirm responsibilities and obligations of each group. Overall,the Bolton& Menk approach to transportation planning represents a creative,yet practical,technique that can serve as a 11 transportation planning model. Comprehensive Transportation Study,City of Jordan,Minnesota Contact:Joe Janish, City Planner With Scott County being the fastest growing County in Minnesota,Jordan has been a key part of that ,.� growth. With this in mind,the City Council asked Bolton& Menk to develop a transportation plan to help guide development and plan for the most cost effective and efficient infrastructure. Our scope of work included: • Developsystem principals and standards, includingfunctional classification,roadwaycapacity, access Y P p management and spacing, and geometric design and right of way standards. ^ • Inventorying the collector/arterial street system for right-of-way widths,travel lanes,parking lanes, pavement type, speed limits,traffic control and functional classification. • Identifying current capacity and safety needs,jurisdictional issues, incorporating findings from existing transportation studies, and multimodal transportation opportunities. - • Recommending future roadway corridors that support identified land use designations and their Ali ,F - - I 1 functional classification, future study areas, and evaluating intersection sight distance deficiencies. ^ • Determining projected 2030 traffic volumes, and evaluating and recommending solutions for = deficiencies in the transportation system.

In response to the pace and amount of growth, Scott County and the Metropolitan Council teamed with the local communities to develop a shared comprehensive plan that would guide their decisions to ^ achieve their vision of the future. While most community's comprehensive plans look into the future 20 years,this Plan was different in that it identified the communities' vision for the area upon full development. This approach was utilized, ,.� because it provided the foundation for the communities to plan for expensive infrastructure long term and calculate the costs of growth.
