Green Company <br />1326 Energy Park Drive <br />St. Paul, IVIN 55108 <br /> <br />Re: <br /> <br />TH 10, C.S. 7101 <br />Frontage Road Development <br /> <br />Dear Terry: <br /> <br />On February 9th we met to discuss some potential redevelopment between 170th Avenue and 173rd <br />Avenue on the south side of TH 10. The development concept showed consolidation of access <br />within the redevelopment. Mn/DoT would support the City's effort to require the developer to <br />consolidate the access as shown on the development concepts. <br /> <br />Mn/DOT would also support the City if it chose to look at additional access consolidation on <br />either side of the proposed development. Approximately five years ago, Mn/DOT and the City <br />developed some access concepts along the trunk highway system. These concepts have been <br />constructed on the west side of the City. The proposed development would allow the City and <br />Mn/DOT to work together to now implement parts of the access plan on the east side of the City. <br />The current development plan creates an opportunity to also consider access consolidation and <br />reduction at 170'a Avenue and 173ra Avenue on the south side of TH 10. <br /> <br />Development of service roads to consolidate access beyond what is shown in the development, <br />such as at 170th Avenue and 173ra Avenue, may be eligible for Mn/DOT Local Initiative Funding. <br />This process was used to help fund the service road projects previously constructed on the west <br />side of the City. Concepts for Local Initiative Funding would have to be sent to the District 3 <br />State Aid Office by approximately September 1st. Projects would then be screened for funding <br />that would become available in July 2002. <br /> <br />If you have any questions or would like to proceed further with discussing access consolidation, <br />please call me or Terry Nichols, who is responsible for our Local Initiative projects. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Terrence J. Humbert <br />District 3 Planning Engineer <br /> <br />Cc: T. Nichols <br /> S. Voss <br /> <br /> <br />
