REVIEW DRAFT WORK PROGRAM
Anoka County Engineer Doug Fischer reported that the 1-35 IRC is studying CSAH 14 between the 1-
35's. Lance Bernard from Anoka County presented color -coded maps of the Coalition Study area. It
provided both a land usage and transportation plan of the area. Lance stated that the maps are "good
tools to analyze the future of the Coalition Study Area". Doug stated that SRF is the consultant doing
work for both Anoka County and MnDOT. The I-35 IRC will be studying the area from I-694 to
Hinckley.
PROPOSED COALTION NAME CHANGE
Mike Ericson reported that the Steering Committee had discussed a new name for the Coalition to
better reflect the membership of four cities, two counties, and a township. The NE 35 Coalition was
suggested. Members then discussed that name and other suggestions, such as NE Metro I-35, 35 NE
Coalition, and finally, I-35 W/E Coalition. Members agreed with I-35 W/E Coalition and it will be
reflected in the new JPA.
NEW BUSINESS
Rick Arnebeck from MnDOT reported that the CSAH 14 bridge at 1-35E is a need and High Priority
Program (HPP). Funding is tied up until 2013. The next meeting of the 1-35 WE Coalition was
scheduled for September 23, 2004, at 7:00 pm, Hugo City Hall.
