• ~ Item #9.C.1. <br /> City of <br /> Elk ,. River MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Park and Recreation Commission <br /> FROM: Michele McPherson;Director of Planning <br /> DATE: February 14, 2001 <br /> SUBJECT: Cross-City Transportation Corridor <br /> Staff members representing the City have been meeting with members of the <br /> Highway 169/County Road 33 Interchange Technical Advisory Committee. In <br /> 2000, the Governor's Office appropriated monies to improve bottlenecks and <br /> traffic flow on inter-regional corridors. Highway 169 has been identified as an <br /> inter-regional corridor and therefore, several projects were funded including the <br /> interchange at County Road 33 and Highway 169. <br /> In conjunction with the interchange discussions, staff has also been working with <br /> Sherburne County and representatives from the gravel industry on the <br /> realignment of County Road 33 in accordance with the County's transportation <br /> plan. There has been a long history regarding this cross-city transportation <br /> corridor. With the advent of the interchange, this issue will no doubt be <br /> discussed as part of the "local approval" of the proposed interchange design. <br /> Chair Kuester has requested that an update be provided to the Commission <br /> regarding this issue as staff anticipates needing local approval of the interchange <br /> design within the next 30-45 days. <br /> Attachments <br /> • Location Map <br /> • Preliminary Designs <br /> • Excerpt from Sherburne County Transportation Plan <br /> S:\PLANNING\MICHMC\PARKN REC\CROSSCTY.DOC <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
