IMPORTANT INFORMATION <br />ELK RIVER'S HIGHWAY TRANSPORTATION PLANS <br /> <br />July 8, 2002 Meeting at Elk River City Hall <br /> <br />Transportation issues have become a major issue for <br />our area. Some are directly related to the Highway <br />101 / 169 and Highway 10 corridors that run through <br />Elk River. Recently the Minnesota Department of <br />Transportation (MnDOT) <br />authorized long-range <br />studies by professional <br />consulting firms on major <br />transportation routes in the <br />state including the two listed <br />above. A Corridor <br />Management Plan on each <br />highway corridor has <br />resulted from these studies. <br /> <br />The Elk River City Council <br />has established a public <br />information meeting for citizens and business owners <br />to attend. The meeting will take place Monday, July 8 <br />in the Elk River City Council Chambers at City Hall. <br /> <br />The purpose of the July 8 meeting is to present <br />information to those affected in Elk River; citizens, <br />property owners and business owners that may be <br />significantly impacted by any of the recommended <br />plans and changes that could <br />occur in the future. <br /> <br /> Given the current status of <br /> transportation funding in <br /> Minnesota, there are many <br /> questions related to the <br /> funding and the timing for <br /> implementation of the <br /> recommendations that are <br /> identified in these two <br />corridor management plans. <br />These plans are long-range <br />in nature and it is likely that recommendations will be <br />implemented gradually based on funding and <br />community input. <br /> <br />The Highway 101 / 169 Corridor Management Plan <br />will be presented at 7 p.m., and the Highway 10 <br />Corridor Management Plan will be presented at 8 p.m. <br />The presentation on each plan will be made by the <br />consulting engineering firm_ and MnDOT personnel <br />with a question/answer/discussion period following <br />the presentations. <br /> <br />Please attend this important and informational <br />meeting. The Highway 101 / 169 and Highway 10 <br />corridors are vital to our area's economic future. <br />Your input is needed in order to make an impact on <br />any plans that are being considered. <br /> <br /> <br />
