areas along the corridor. The area east of Sunfish Lake Boulevard to Thurston Avenue <br />will be studied jointly with the City of Anoka. <br /> <br />The primary use of this study will be policy direction for development along the corridor <br />and grant application with MnDOT. Opportunities for funding might be more available <br />with 'a plan in place to help provide the safe, timely and efficient movement that MnDOT <br />desires along Highway #10. Because the corridor is a high priority with MnDOT, they <br />have moved up the date of a formal traffic management study to 2002, which is a <br />precursor to change and funding. <br /> <br />The study should show the businesses the benefits of access management and the <br />consequences of not having access management. <br /> <br />The plan Mr. Paige and Mr. Schreib showed included a combination of front and rear <br />frontage road system, a six-foot landscaping zone with continuous planting, two 15-foot <br />traffic lanes, a six-foot sidewalk and a different scale of lighting to add character and <br />continuity to the corridor. <br /> <br />Mr. Riley asked what the next step in the corridor study is. Mr. Paige and Mr. Schrieb <br />will bring a draft study to EDA, which will include the districts, land uses, transportation, <br />vision and guiding principles, access and implementation of the policy. Other steps <br />taking place are: <br />· The City is a member of the newly formed Corridor Coalition that includes <br /> municipalities along the corridor, as well as the City of Dayton. <br /> MnDOT will proceed with their formal traffic study in 2002. <br /> The City is working with Metropolitan Council regarding transportation issues <br /> including the river bridge crossing. <br />· There is a lobby coalition with North Metro Mayors Association. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />Motion by Ms. Blaha and seconded by Mr. Riley to adjourn the regular Economic <br />Development Authority meeting. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
