• Minneapolis was strongly represented as a destination (6.8-8.7% of all destinations), a number <br />that has likely grown since 2002 with added housing for the feasibility area and increased <br />numbers of jobs in Downtown Minneapolis <br />Northwest Corridor and River Crossing Study: Scoping Decision Document (2004) <br />Look Back <br />The Scoping Decision Document (SDD) is the most in-depth study on the river crossing utility and <br />feasibility. It states that, at the time of authorship, there had been significant growth in population and <br />traffic congestion in the northwest metro area. Traffic studies at that time identified the need for more <br />capacity for area highways. <br />Look to Future <br />The SDD proposed improvements to existing north -south highways crossing the Mississippi River — TH <br />169 between Champlin and Anoka or TH 101 between Otsego and Elk river, and/or the development of <br />a new north -south highway corridor midway between TH 169 and TH 101. It proposed the advancement <br />of one of two alternatives: no build or official mapping of a new trunk highway and river crossing <br />location between 1-94 or the future extension of TH 610 on the south (note that this extension has since <br />been completed) and TH 10 / TH 169 on the north. <br />The SDD reviewed alternatives and advanced three alternatives for future study (see Figure 4). <br />Figure 4: 2004 SDD Alternatives and DEIS Recommendation <br />ER <br />RIvrio <br />$HERBUR'f E <br />CO. <br />A,ICKLA <br />CY.I, <br />irmcFrr <br />oa <br />D <br />Mee. <br />rd141k° 3G <br />{ +$R[t 14V3inaa ADC <br />�J I.naadkitl <br />A�suiv�Z� 13•1•1 k -II <br />d�r1iG`� 9 • 44,7 1 imee..1 t2, <br />mmmw <br />d rrpare3C • fewer Me Ueda <br />Aleadve -ice Moe LaiamillEtor <br />Swiping Alternatives. <br />t <br />® r 1 • <br />LPPWEIMI <br />Coon <br />ds <br />Corridor I rri p rcve me nl Alternatives <br />WI Metro corridor rid River Crfnsiryg <br />MEM t 010114EI144027p1 p <br />Draft Scoping Decision <br />t <br />i11/rY Can.rdtt.-f Nowlin <br />[pin min <br />CIRO <br />Fl�w��`�.+e ilrrrie -rrrrFroich Lao Ludo <br />Iwr gE• BROM UMW.Ri <br />Alternatives Recommended for Analysis in the DEIS <br />kW Metro Corridor and Rivet Crossing <br />NW Metro Mississippi River Crossings Feasibility Analysis <br />Page 18 <br />
