• Attachment 1 Metropolitan Council Advisory Comments The Metropolitan Council's advisory comments included the following: Under Transportation: The City needs to be aware that the City's proposed functional classification system (Figure 6 -6) should be submitted to the Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC)- Planning Committee for approval. The following are minor technical corrections and updates regarding the transit system plan: 1. All references to route 255 need to be deleted, as Route 255 was discontinued in June 2009. 2. The Transit Service and Facilities map (Figure 6 -16) should show route 275 extended via County Road 14 to Lino Park and Ride and Lino Lakes City Hall Park and Ride in downtown. Service was suspended during the reconstruction of County Road 14, but it has been restored. 3. Table 6 -7.• Lino Lakes Transit utilization to /from Minneapolis and St. Paul seems to describe transit usage by the entire population of Lino Lakes to Minneapolis and St. Paul. LEHD data shows the transit mode split of only that portion of the City's population that works in the downtowns and uses transit to commute. 4. The Transit Passenger and Support Facilities section should add the Lino Park and ride and the Lino Lakes City Hall Park and Ride in downtown. 5. The Park - and -Rides section describes a planned 600 -space Park and Ride at I -35E and CSAH 14. The anticipated capacity of this facility has been reduced from 600 spaces to 200 spaces. Under Surface Water Management: 1. The Rice Creek Watershed District has recently submitted their revised water shed management plan to the review authorities. The City should be aware that it will need to update its Surface Water Management Plan and submit it to the Council and to the watersheds for review for approval within two years of the Watershed District's plan being approved. Under Water Supply: 1. The Council encourages the City to continue to promote wise water use with its customers through conservation education messages and programs. 3
