outbound times. The commuter coach goes from the Forest Lake Transit Center to the <br />Union Depot in St. Paul. They have also completed a ridership survey of how many <br />people are using the route. The route does not stop in Hugo. <br />Staff met with Washington County and Ramsey County staff to talk about the Rush Line <br />Corridor and the practicality of a transit center in downtown. They stated that they have <br />studied the route and there are two options they think are viable considering the ridership <br />projections. <br />1. Light rail only to White Bear Lake <br />2. Rapid Bus Transit (RBT) on I35 from Columbus to St. Paul <br />These options will be studied more in the future. They stated that there may not be a need <br />for a transit center in downtown for a long time. There will also be a Met Council park <br />and ride at the interchange at I35E and County Road 8/14. <br />Staff has also been working with Washington County to abandon a portion of the rail <br />road along Highway 61 between 145th and 140' Street. This portion of the rail road is no <br />longer being used for trains. The abandonment processes continues to move forward. <br />Staff will continue to work with Washington County for funding to extend the Hardwood <br />Creek Trail down to 140th Street. <br />DISCUSSION EDA ANNUAL REPORT <br />Enclosed in the packet was the 2010 EDA Annual Report. The report showcases <br />commercial and industrial activities and other economic development projects that <br />happened in 2010. The EDA wanted to add sections to the report on the Hanifl Fields <br />Athletic Park and the park dedication policy. Staff agreed to make the changes to the <br />report and bring back to the EDA at its March meeting. <br />Bever made a motion, seconded by Klein, to approve the EDA Annual Report for 2010. <br />All aye. Motion Carried. <br />UPDATE ON DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT <br />The CD Director updated the EDA on the progress of downtown redevelopment. <br />The CD Director gave an update on the meeting he had with Brian Wurzer, owner of <br />Country Video Barn. Mr. Wurzer stated that he was concerned with the taxes on his <br />property and the high percentage increase in one year. He stated that the property value <br />seems fair. <br />Ricci's Restaurant property may have a possible buyer and the redevelopment would <br />include the demolition of the building. <br />
