RESOLUTION NO.05 -83
SUPPORTING ANOKA COUNTY FEDERAL FUNDING APPLICATION FOR THE
CSAH 14/I35E INTERCHANGE
WHEREAS, the continued growth of the city and surrounding communities is leading to
increasing travel demand along the CSAH 14/1 -35E corridor which, if unmanaged, can
negatively affect the level of performance, safety, and congestion experienced by users
of the corridor; and,
WHEREAS, community leaders, motorists, and road authorities have identified this
growing travel demand and development pressure as a concern with potential negative

degrade the performance level now provided by the corridor, and the resulting
implications for the economy and quality of life of the region; and,

level of performance, continues to increase in congestion and is raising safety concerns;
and
• WHEREAS, the Cities of Lino Lakes, Centerville, Forest Lake, and Hugo, the Town of
Columbus, and Counties of Anoka and Washington, recognizing the potential impact of
continued growth pressure on the corridor, have entered into a Joint Powers Agreement
to collaboratively evaluate the Tong -term role that the CSAH 14 Corridor will play in
meeting the transportation needs of the area and to support needed improvements to
the corridor, including the CSAH 14/I -35E interchange; and,
WHEREAS, Anoka County has submitted an application to the Transportation Advisory
Board (TAB) to the Metropolitan Council for 2009 and 2010 projects to use federal
