10.-44111111P-40‘ The Tinklenberg Group The interchange of strategies and solutions Proposed Extension of the Ramsey US Trunk Highway 10 Improvement Development Plan July, 2021 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 assure the successful implementation of those accomplishments. It will support the consistent and timely utilization of federal and state grant dollars awarded and seek to secure additional dollars which could be used to offset some or all of the local funding commitment. In addition, it will, at the direction of the City, begin to explore other opportunities for regional transportation improvements which would, if implemented, further enhance the City's economy and quality of life. 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; * Support, on behalf of the City, the timely follow-up and implementation of funding secured through prior sessions of the Minnesota legislature and awarded federal grants. * Coordinate follow up of federal and state transportation program and grant opportunities/applications necessary to assure the full funding of US TH 10/169 improvements within the City of Ramsey. * Continue to develop and coordinate local business and community support for potential funding opportunities anticipated but not yet fully secured. * 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 Biden Administration. * Identify, recommend, and coordinate as directed, pursuit of additional opportunities for regional transportation improvements which would support and benefit the City's development goals.
