CHRIS MANTHEY, WASHINGTON COUNTY <br />Ms. Manthey came forward and distributed information regarding Washington County State Aid <br />Highway 8 and Anoka County State Aid Highway 14. She advised over $3 million dollars in <br />funding has been received for the project. The County has been working on the project for over a <br />year. One of the goals of the project is to keep everyone well informed. The project is necessary <br />because the roadway is a minor arterial and there is a lot of traffic trying to access the freeway. The <br />projected traffic volume is 32,000 ADT. Safety is a large issue and the roadway is starting to <br />deteriorate. <br />Ms. Manthey continued advised that based on existing and projected traffic volumes, the proposed <br />improvements include reconstruction of the roadway with four through lanes, turn lanes, a center <br />median, pedestrian/bicycle path and new drainage systems. <br />Three meetings have been held regarding the project and another one is scheduled in January 2003 to <br />present the final information and obtain comments. After that meeting, the preferred alternative will <br />be selected and move forward for detail design. <br />
