<br />Page 2 of2 <br /> <br />route to Highway 169 from Tyler 8t. <br />~ Tyler 8t. already exists. This would save unnecessary expense, it would be less <br />disruptive to residents and businesses, it would minimize impact to woodlands and <br />wetlands, and residents are already accustom to Tyler traffic. <br />~ East-west traffic from new developments will rarely use the 193rd corridor. They will <br />still take highway 13 to main since very few will go northwest to get south. <br />~ Would allow for the option to bring it through (crossing Tyler 8t.) to highway 13 at a <br />later date if deemed necessary. <br /> <br />If the decision is still made to bring the 193rd Ave Corridor across Tyler heading eastward to Highway <br />13, I would recommend the option that has it connecting furthest to the south/west. This will minimize <br />any safety concerns with traffic coming around the Trott Brook comer at excessive speeds and will <br />allow enough distance for stopping. <br /> <br />Even if the 193rd Ave Corridor is constructed, a north/south corridor (i.e. Cty 40) between the new east <br />Elk River developments and Highway 10 is necessary and should be pursued immediately. Likewise, <br />investment should be made into expanding the capacity of the Main 8t 1 169 intersection as soon as <br />possible. The city of Elk River should be pro-active and find ways (i.e. funding options, etc.) to entice <br />the state to fix the intersection as soon as possible. <br /> <br />Thank you for your consideration. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Please keep me <br />informed of any upcoming meetings/decisions/actions/etc. <br /> <br />Keith Ernst <br />19298 Twin Lakes Rd <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br />612-616-1667 <br /> <br />2/21/2006 <br />
