AGENDA ITEM: Washington County Application for MnDOT 2018 Corridors of
Commerce (CSAH 15 & TH 36) – Approve Resolution of Support
SUBMITTED BY: Jack Griffin, City Engineer
REVIEWED BY: Kristina Handt, City Administrator
Chad Isakson, Assistance City Engineer
ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL: Should the City Council approve a Resolution of Support for the
Washington County Funding Application for MnDOT 2018 Corridors of Commerce for a grade separation
project at County State Aid Highway 15 (CSAH 15) and Trunk Highway 36 (TH36)?
BACKGROUDN AND PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: MnDOT and Washington County are
requesting from the City of Lake Elmo a resolution of support to apply for funding from the 2018 Corridors
of Commerce solicitation for a grade separation project at CSAH 15 and TH 36.
The Minnesota Legislature created the Corridors of Commerce program to authorize the sale of new trunk
highway bonds for the construction, reconstruction and improvement of trunk highways for projects not
already in the State Transportation Improvement Program. The program was created to provide additional
highway capacity on segments where there are currently bottlenecks in the system and to improve the
movement of freight and reduce barriers to commerce. Recently the Minnesota Department of
Transportation received recommendations from stakeholders and the public for projects to be considered
for its 2018 Corridors of Commerce program. From among those recommended projects, MnDOT will
award $400 million to selected projects across the State (see attached Corridors of Commerce
Recommendations).
As a part of the scoring criteria for the Corridors of Commerce program, all cities and counties which would
be touched by the suggested project need to submit a resolution of support for the project in order for that
project to receive 45points in the "Community Consensus" category. Projects which do not receive a
resolution of support from all governments are not disqualified from the program, but they will not receive
45points out of total of 700 from this criteria, which will put them at a distinct disadvantage in the scoring.
FISCAL IMPACT: No impact at this time. Obtaining additional outside funding for this potential project
may help to reduce the City cost participation for the project.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending that the City Council approve a Resolution supporting
Washington County’s application for the 2018 Corridors of Commerce solicitation for a grade separation
project at CSAH 15 and TH 36. If removed from the consent agenda, the recommended motion for the
action is as follows:
“Move to approve Resolution No. 2018-030 Supporting Washington County’s application for the
MnDOT 2018 Corridors of Commerce solicitation for a grade separation project at County State Aid
Highway 15 (CSAH 15) and Trunk Highway 36 (TH36).”

Commerce for CSAH 15 and TH36.

RESOLUTION NO. 2018-030
RESOLUTION SUPPORTING WASHINGTON COUNTY FOR THE
SUBMITTAL OF AN APPLICATION TO REQUEST FUNDING FROM

WHEREAS, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) is currently accepting
candidate projects for the 2018 Corridors of Commerce Solicitation; and
WHEREAS, Washington County is proposing an application for the construction of a grade
separation of County State Aid Highway 15 (CSAH 15) and Trunk Highway 36 (TH 36): and
WHEREAS; the intersection of CSAH 15 and TH 36 is partially located within the City of Lake
Elmo and provides access to residential, business, commercial, and recreational areas of Grant, Lake
Elmo, Stillwater and Stillwater Township; and
WHEREAS; the current intersection is insufficient to meet capacity demands today and the
growth anticipation in the future; and
WHEREAS; the TH 36 corridor is continuing to experience a growth in traffic and congestion;
and
WHEREAS; the upgrade of this interchange is essential to the economic health and welfare of
the region; and
WHEREAS; this project will protect and enhance mobility and safety, and will be of mutual
benefit to MnDOT, Washington County, and the cities of Grant, Lake Elmo and Stillwater.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City of Lake Elmo supports Washington County’s
application for funding as part of the 2018 Corridors of Commerce Solicitation for the grade separation
of County State Aid Highway 15 (CSAH 15) and Trunk Highway 36 (TH 36).
