MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Item #5 <br /> <br />Janua~ 27,2000 <br /> <br />To: <br /> <br />From: <br /> <br />Subject: <br /> <br />Northstar Corridor Development Authority <br /> <br />Staff <br /> <br />Selection of Station Sites <br /> <br />At the January meeting of the NCDA, the City of Anoka requested that the NCDA <br />address the status of the potential Anoka 4th Avenue station location. To date, <br />the technical analysis and environmental impact statement have included an <br />evaluation of Ramsey, Anoka and Coon Rapids - Riverdale sites as potential <br />stations. For the efficient operations of the commuter rail system, however, only <br />two of these stations are feasible. At the meeting on February 3, staff will <br />distribute a technical comparison of the three potential station locations. At the <br />March 2 meeting, the NCDA will consider selecting the two stations to move <br />forward in the preliminary engineering process. The technical evaluation of the <br />East St. Cloud and downtown St. Cloud station sites will be presented following <br />completion of the refinement of the ridership data in St. Cloud and the feasibility <br />studies of the extension to the west of St. Cloud and of the extension to Morrison <br />County. <br /> <br />Action Requested: Information <br /> <br /> <br />
