INTRODUCTIONS
All persons present were welcomed greeted by Fran Miron and shared their name and affiliated
organization.
UPDATE ON CSAH 14/I -35E INTERCHANGE PROJECT
Kate Garwood, Transportation Manager from Anoka County updated the group regarding the
interchange. Currently, the bridge is slated to be completed by year end 2009 and is in the control
of MNDOT. Possible setbacks to a 2009 timeline would be the estimated total cost. The cost is
approximated to be 21 million dollars, with a current shortfall of 5 million.
UPDATE ON NORTHERN BY-PASS PLANNING (LAKE DRIVE & MAIN ST)
Commonly called County Road Doug in Anoka County, Kate Garwood stated that this road
continues to be in the County's Comprehensive Plan and updates continue to be made in regards to
land acquisition procedures.
INVENTORY AND PRIORITY OF TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS
Kate Garwood reported on the progress made by staff that inventoried and prioritized projects
within the coalition's area of concern. Kate discussed multiple projects that have been identified
but stressed staff's concern to remain focused on the third lane on I -35E. Another key interchange
that was identified is State Hwy 8/35. This is an important intersection for the growth of the
corridor. Motion was made by Dennis Hegberg and seconded by Stev Stegner for a letter of
support to be written from the coalition to Washington County in order to increase the status and
concern of this intersection for the coalition communities.
2008 COMPREHENSIVE PLANS
Comp plan updates were heard from Hugo, Lino Lakes, Columbus, Centerville, Washington and
Anoka County.
LEGISLATIVE UPDATES
No State Legislators were present but County Commissioner Dennis Hegberg and Rhonda
Sivarajah discussed County projects.

facilities.
