A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING NEW TRUNK HIGHWAY 10 AS A NUMBER ONE PRIORITY FOR NEW

WHEREAS:
A coordinated transportation network which provides reasonable access
to both the State and metropolitan highway systems is essential to the
economic development of an area; and,
WHEREAS:
The construction of new Trunk Highway l0 between Ramsey County Road d
and Trunk Highway tO/47 is an essential component of such a transpor-
tation network in the northern metropolitan area; and,
WHEREAS:
The right-of-way for new Trunk Highway 10 has been maintained by the
cities of Blaine and Coon Rapids for over 20 years; and,
WHEREAS:
An Environmental Impact Statement on the construction of new Trunk
Highway tO has been completed and the proposed roadway has been desig-
nated as part of the Trunk Highway System; and,

The alignment of new Trunk Highway lO is entirely within the boundaries
of the Metropolitan Urban Services Area and, therefore, produces urban
infrastructure investment consistent with the metropolitan development
framework:

Ramsey County Road J to Trunk Highway 10/47 be declared to be the number
one priority for new State highway construction in the metropolitan area.

sioner of Transportation and the Anoka County Legislative Delegation.
