Highway Commissioner, County Surveyor DATE: July 30, 1998 QUALITY • EFFICIENCY • PRIDE MINUTES OF THE JOINT ST.CROIX COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE & PLANNING, ZONING, AND PARKS COMMITTEE Meeting of August 27, 1998 Call to Order: The meeting was called to order at 10:18 A.M. Roll Call: Roll call was taken with Grant, Jacobson, Jensen, Larson, Luckey, Raymond, and Sinclear in attendance with Dowd arriving at 10:40 A.M. Hense and King were excused. Others present included staff members Fedderly, Fodroczi, and Ramberg; as well as WisDOT staff member Terry Pederson. Review Highway 35 Corridor Management: Pederson reviewed the plan layout for the new STH 35 route from River Falls to I-94. Construction is scheduled for 1999. The state is looking for local input as to the preferred alternatives and other measures preferred to preserve the corridor. Pederson commented on making a wise investment in the project. A plan needs to be implemented so the local governments are able to handle the pressures future developments put on the intersections. Various alternative intersections were discussed. (See the enclosed "STH 35 Corridor Alternatives" spreadsheet.) The group discussed the project, access, land use, safety, preservation, as well as alternatives available. (See the enclosed "WisDOT STH 35 Corridor Preservation" outline.) The group preferred alternatives that kept both overheads in the plan, and preserved the corridor the most, while following up with an access closure project. A motion was made by Sinclear, seconded by Dowd, to (with agreement from the Town of Troy) favor the alternative (#4) that provides the least disruption; the most connectivity, with relatively equal cost on the local system; implement the project in the shortest time -frame as possible; as well as receive input from the Town of Troy. Motion carried. The group is anticipating the influence from the Town of Troy to fully continue support and endorse alternative -four. If a memorandum of agreement is received from the Town of Troy a more formal endorsement can be made. Adjournment: A motion was made by Sinclear, seconded by Raymond, to adjourn at 12:10 P.M. Motion carried. / , I c_l--_-_-_V-- 141V-1 --- ---------- ------- RECORDING SECRETARY TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE SECRETARY TIM RAMBERG CHARLES GRANT STH 35 CORRIDOR ALTERNATIVES ALTERNATIVES ITEM No Overheads Overhead at CTH FF/Coulee Only Overhead at Glover Road Only Overheads at Both Glover & CTH FF/Coulee Traffic Impacts Indirection (Total) ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................ 505 475 480 450 At Tower At FF/Coulee At Glover 175 175 175 175 190 160 190 160 140 140 115 115 ADT Diverted to Local Rds (Total) .......................... ............. ................. .....,,................................. _.... _............ ._................. _...................... .............. ..... ............ ......................... . 895 895 895 895 At Tower (Old 35 not L.R.)
