Senjem and Rep. Murphy: <br /> <br />On behalf of the City of Elk River City Council, please accept our letter of support for Senate File 4170 <br />and House File 4093 which propose to fund an interchange design for the intersection of TH 169 and <br />Sherburne County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 4 in the City of Zimmerman. <br /> <br />TH 169 is a major transportation route for local, state and interstate movement of commuters, freight <br />and tourists, including those who access via TH 10 in Elk River. <br /> <br />The approved and funded Highway 169 Redefine project will eliminate all signalized intersections on the <br />TH 169 corridor in Elk River by 2024. At the conclusion of that project, the CSAH 4 intersection will be <br />the last signalized intersection on the 75 miles between I-94 and Lake Mille Lacs. Design funding from <br />the state is critical to provide Sherburne County adequate resources to plan and prepare for the <br />elimination of the signalized intersection and of construction of an interchange. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br />John J. Dietz <br />Mayor <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 Phone: <br />763.635.1000 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />www.ElkRiverMN.gov <br /> <br />
