<br /> <br />Public and Agency Involvement <br />The purpose of the public and agency involvement program was to ensure that <br />affected government agencies, residents, and business along the TH 10 Corridor <br />had ample opportunity to participate in the planning process. The objective was <br />to provide a forum for two-way communication; residents, businesses and local <br />officials identifying concerns, constraints and opportunities and the planning team <br />sharing the results of the various technical analyses. <br /> <br />Participants in the public and agency involvement process included area <br />residents, motorists, and members of the business community, in addition to staff <br />from local units of government along the TH 10 corridor, staff from state and <br />regional transportation planning departments, staff from state environmental <br />agencies, and state legislators. Representing Mounds View in this process were <br />Mayor Sonterre and the Community Development Director, Jim Ericson. <br /> <br />Existing and Forecast Conditions <br />The first step in the corridor planning process consisted of documenting both <br />existing and forecasted roadway, demographic and land use characteristics, and <br />conducting an environment overview of the corridor. <br /> <br />The roadway characteristics were documented using data obtained from <br />Mn/DOT, cities and counties along the corridor, and field observations by project <br />staff. <br />
