The Met <br />Council network still includes them. Mn/DOT requested that SEH perform a <br />sensitivity test on its forecast to determine the affect of removing these <br />improvements from the regional model. A summary sheet showing the forecast <br />changes was distributed. The forecast along I-35W did not change significantly. <br />However the forecast along TH 10 and I-694 dropped while the forecast along <br />Highway 96 increased. <br />2.TCAAP Master Plan densities have been reduced resulting in a projected reduction of <br />15% vehicle trips. <br />3.Discuss pros/cons of new forecast <br />a.Mn/DOT forecasting staff is currently reviewing the above results and will report <br />back to SEH with a recommendation. <br />b.Mark Maloney raised concerns that the communities have not been told that I-694 <br />is no longer in Mn/DOT’s plan. <br />c.Mark Maloney raised local concerns regarding changes to the CR I interchange. <br />Rice Creek Parkway was built by the city to function as a city street.
