TH 101 - TH 169 CORRIDOR MANAGEMENT PLAN APRIL 2002 <br /> <br />1.3 Corridor Vision Statement and Need for Action <br /> <br />1.3.1 Corridor Vision Statem e nt <br /> <br />Developing a corridor vision for 2025 involved several steps, including the early development of a <br />Vision Statement (see box below). The Vision Statement established the basic goals of the corridor <br />planning process, included 2025 performance goals, and outlined the roles that Mn/DOT and other <br />corridor partners can expect to play as the planning process moves toward implementation. <br /> <br />The vision statement was developed with input from the corridor partners after a process of issue <br />identification, preliminary traffic forecasting, and early performance predictions. The corridor <br />partners considered how the highways serve their communities, what they perceived as an <br />acceptable level of service, and what they felt was an acceptable level of impact to local and through <br />transportation systems. Corridor partners desires and concerns about future performance of the <br />corridor were addressed through a continual refinement of the vision statement. The following steps <br />outline the process used to refine the vision statement: <br /> <br />· Review corridor issues, deficiencies, and objectives <br />· Identify alternative strategies or improvement concepts <br />· Analyze and discuss advantages and disadvantages of the improvement concepts <br />· Determine short- and long-term consensus approaches by corridor partners <br /> <br />1-7 <br /> <br /> <br />
