O. Box 490 <br />Elk River, MN 5530-0490 <br /> <br />RE: COUNTY TRANSPORTATION PLAN <br /> <br />Dear Council Members: <br /> <br />On Wednesday, August 6, 1997, I attended a County Board meeting where the County <br />Transportation Plan was presented. Two engineers from the County's consultant along with <br />County Engineer Dave Schwarting made the presentation. Several maps were presented at the <br />board meeting that I assume will be part of the final document. There were no copies of these <br />maps available for distribution so the following is a description based on my notes. <br /> <br />Future Level of Service Map <br />This map is used to show areas in the current county system that were expected to be <br />congested or near congestion by the year 2020. The areas deemed to be congested <br />were based on a level of service at the D-E line (A through F rating system; A being the <br />best, F the worst), assuming average daily weekday traffic volumes. This map assumed <br />that the existing number of lanes were in place in 2020. It made no assumption about <br />the condition of the roadway. <br /> <br />In the City of Elk River, the segments shown as congested were: <br /> <br />TH 169 (TH 10 to county Road 33) <br />TH 10 (TH 169 to Upland) <br />Proctor (CSAH #1 TH 10 to School Street) <br /> <br />The following areas within Elk River were shown to be near congestion in the year 2020: <br /> <br />2. <br />3. <br />4. <br />5. <br /> <br />CSAH #1 <br />TH 10 (east from TH 169/101 interchange) <br />CSAH #13 <br />TH 10 (west from Upland to the City limits) <br />County Road 77 from CSAH #1 to CSAH #33 <br /> <br />To put this map in perspective, the only areas outside the City of Elk River which were <br />shown to be congested were County Road 24 near Clear Lake, County Road 25 near <br />Monticello, and County Road 4 in Zimmerman. There was also a small piece of County <br />Road 7 in St. Cloud and a small piece of County Road 29 near Princeton. <br /> <br />1326 Energy Park Drive · St. Paul, MN 55108 · 612/644-4389 fax 612/644-9446 toll free 800/888-2923 <br /> <br /> <br />
