AGENDA ITEM DETAILS
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommend continuing membership in the 194 Corridor Coalition in 2014.
ARE YOU SEEKING APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT?
No
IS A PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED?
No
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
On November 13, 2012, the City Council approved membership in the 194 Corridor Coalition and
subsequently directed City Engineer Ron Wagner and me to become more involved in the Coalition. In
2013 Ron Wagner represented Otsego at several transportation/traffic modeling and design meetings
with the Coalition, M nDot, and the Met Council. I serve as a member of the Coalition Board and
attended many Coalition functions. Additionally, Council Member Tom Darkenwald testified at a House
of F;bpresentativesTransportation Committee meeting.
Steve Bot, 194 Corridor Coalition Chair, will be at Monday's meeting to answer questions and provide
information on the Coalition's future goals. As you know 2013 was a very successful year for the
Coalition with the award of funds through the Corridors of Commerce program to complete the first
phase of 194 enhancements from Fbgersto County Road 241 in St. Michael. The level of service
improvements this project bringswill result in reduced travel time on this section of 194 benefitting
Otsego residents and businesses. Additionally, improvements to the transportation system area factor
in attracting future development in Otsego. In 2014 the Coalition will continue to focus on identified
current enhancement needs. The long range improvements that benefit Otsego such asthe
interchanges at Naber and Kadler will probably not happen in the near future; however, planning to
accommodate those interchanges and representing Otsego's interests in the planning and design
processes is vital to ensuring Otsego's long term plans are not overlooked.
The 2013 dueswere funded by the Council Contingency late in 2012. The 2014 dues can be funded
several ways. 1. LGA -$65,911 of the expected City's 2014 LGA remains undesignated. 2. Council
Contingency allocation. 3. Reserve Funds— The Street Reconstruction and Revolving Capital Equipment
funds may be used.

COMMENTS:
2014 State of Minnesota Legislative Priorities
The 2013 Legislative Session established the Corridors of Commerce program,
which paved the way for 1-94 expansion. It's a great start but the Central Minnesota
Region continues to grow at an accelerated rate, creating an unbearable stress on
our transportation system. The following outlines our priorities to address this
critical need.
2014 Legislative Session Priorities:
Phase 1 Completion
• The expansion project from Hwy. 101 in Rogers to Hwy. 241 in St. Michael
faces a few more hurdles that must be cleared before it can begin:
o A public hearing for the Metropolitan Council
o Public comment periods for the Met Council's Transportation
Investment Plan and Transportation Policy Plan.
These steps must be approved to ensure the expansion project begins on time.
Future Funding far Corridors of Commerce
• The Corridors of Commerce program demonstrated a more comprehensive
approach to transportation funding than is often promoted. Securing funding
for the future of the Corridors of Commerce or similar programs is
imperative for continued improvement of I-94.
Phase II Expansion of 194
• The Coalition will work with MnDOT District 3 to continue to establish the
next logical improvement project along the 1-94 West Corridor.
The proposed Managed Lane Study will be of focus for any future project
along 1-94 and the Coalition will work to stay involved with the study.
Brockton Project
• The Coalition will work to assist local leaders with the Brockton Project as its
completion benefits I-94 and meets the Coalition's vision of improving the
I-94 West Corridor.
The 1-94 West Corridor Coalition expects that all decisions relating to transportation
funding will be based on factual analyses in a fair and transparent manner with an
emphasis on reducing congestion caused by freight and commuter traffic on 1-94.
.Any project should be valued based on ROI and merit, rather than political gains.
