Additionally, the FTA has assigned an overall rating of <br />"recommended" to the project. The attached chart depicts the FTA's project approval <br /> <br />process. <br /> <br />The recommended rating results from an evaluation of the Northstar Project based on <br />criteria relating to the benefits and costs of the project, the transit supportive land use <br />activities in the Corridor and the local financial commitment. <br /> <br />The FTA's approval also includes the initiation of preliminary engineering for the <br />proposed Hiawatha LRT connection to the Northstar Corridor. <br /> <br />Action Requested: Information only. <br /> <br /> Northstar Corridor Development Authority <br />2100 3® Avenue, Anoka, Minnesota 55303-2265 (612) 323-5700 Fax: (612) 323-5682 <br /> <br /> <br />
