TRUNK HIGHWAY (TH) 61 VISIONING STUDY Scope of Work <br />3 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Plan, to be updated as needed; attendance/facilitation and materials for all <br />outreach meetings; and digital/social media/website content. <br /> <br /> <br />Task 3. Corridor Inventory, Context, and Community Priorities <br />The Task 3 objectives will be to establish corridor background and provide a focused and high-level <br />summary on relevant recommendations or anticipated impacts gathered from existing context, future <br />plans, socioeconomics, community resources, and the values, priorities, and visions of the stakeholders. <br />Findings and information will be shared in a visually-pleasing, easy to read format with bulleted lists and <br />charts representing the findings as opposed to extensive write ups. For reference and more detailed <br />information, links to each relevant plan will be provided. <br />Through this process, Bolton & Menk will determine if sub-areas should be identified based on the <br />unique characteristics of different areas of the corridor. The minimum content will address: <br />3.1. High-level corridor context, including the location and role of all transportation modes in the TH <br />61 corridor, the role of TH 61 in the region, general corridor management challenges, and <br />stakeholder perspectives. The TH 61 Corridor and surrounding area have multiple planning <br />documents that guide transportation and land use decisions. We will review and summarize <br />relevant findings from the documents listed below. The summary of findings will focus on <br />commonalities between plans and where there is any anticipated conflict of guidance between <br />documents. We will review the following for this task: <br />o Master Plan for Hardwood Creek Regional Trail <br />o Documentation for the Hardwood Creek Regional Trail extension (currently in draft <br />form) <br />o Washington County 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br />o Washington County Regional Railroad Authority Property Management Plan <br />o Hugo & MnDOT 2007 TH 61 Expansion Layout <br />o Washington County and MnDOT Turnback MOU <br />o MOVE Washington County Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan <br />o City of Forest Lake 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br />o City of Hugo 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br />o City of Hugo Downtown Plan and Design Guidelines <br />o City of Forest Lake Downtown Planning DRAFT <br />o METRO Purple Line/Rush Line BRT Documents: <br /> Environmental Assessment <br /> Locally Preferred Alternative Selection Report <br /> Other documents identified by the PMT <br />o TH 61 right-of-way characteristics and related features (e.g., right-of-way widths, <br />setbacks, utilities, railroad information) <br /> <br />3.2. Land uses, key resources, and planning issues surrounding the corridor, highlighting existing and <br />planned land uses and community objectives (reference 2040 comprehensive plans and <br />stakeholder input); development and redevelopment areas; environmental resources, drainage, <br />and water features; recreational resources and plans; schools; government facilities; and other <br />land-related corridor planning issues. We will evaluate land uses along the corridor and identify <br />areas where land uses should change to facilitate the long-term vision.
