Council Meeting Minutes for July 15, 2024 <br />Page 3 of 7 <br /> <br />a four-lane highway that parallels the rail corridor. Access management and Right-of-way <br />dedication needs had since been revisited. Specific traffic controls were not considered as part of <br />the process. <br /> <br />There was support for a unified transportation corridor with the Washington County Regional <br />Rail Authority’s property and the highway corridor, which would both be under County <br />jurisdiction. The layout would be able to support the Rush Line Transit Corridor connecting bus <br />route from White Bear Lake to Forest Lake. The ROW dedication needs would be reduced <br />throughout the corridor from the version created in 2008. Lastly, Madeline talked about the <br />multi-modal improvements that would address safety and connectivity concerns. Council was <br />invited to attend the Highway 61 Visioning Study Open House to be held on August 15, 2024, <br />from 4:30-6:30 p.m. at Hugo City Hall. <br /> <br />City Administrator Bryan Bear took a moment to recognize the County staff and Board for <br />seeing the need for a single transportation corridor saying the County’s flexibility from the <br />previous version saved several buildings that would have needed to be demolished along <br />Highway 61. <br /> <br />Klein made motion, Miron seconded, to schedule as a meeting to attend the open house <br />scheduled for Thursday, August 15, 2024, from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm at Hugo City Hall - Oneka <br />Room. <br /> <br />All Ayes.
