Re: Regulations regarding parking of boats in Kolliner Park
.
At the last Council meeting, (6/19/01) I was asked by the Council to check into
parking regulations regarding boats on the Kolliner property.
National Park Service has a 7-day limit in the park area for campsites. It has a 30-
day limit for the season. The park boundary limit goes only to the north city limit of
Stillwater and does not affect Kolliner Park. The parking regulations do not apply to
private property in the parks.
Wisconsin Minnesota Boundary Water Area Commission has no rules affecting
the parking of boats
The Army Corps of Engineers has jurisdiction over any permanent structure
erected on the shore or in the water. This would include docks. If a boat is moored
along the shore and left all year they would need a permit from the Army Corps, as
it would be considered a "dock". Ifhowever it were moved periodically it would be
considered a vessel and would not need a permit.
St. Croix County Sheriffs Department has no rule affecting the length of time a
boat can be parked on private property. They consider Kolliner Park private
property, as it is not open to the public SheriffHilstad has no problem. with the
current caretakers (Jim Gannon) of the park He stated that there have been fewer
problems now than with no caretaker.
.
1
July 11, 2001
St. .Joseph Township stated they have no regulation regarding the parking of boats .
on the river The town board chanman is aware of no problem with the park He has
been chairman for 3 years and has not had a complaint
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources will allow only one boat for every
100 feet of shoreline If they get closer than that, they require a marina permit This
is a density issue and would only apply if the city opened the park for mooring all
boating season If the boat is parked in a location for an extended period of time
without being moved, they may require a permit as it could be considered a structure
rather than a vessel The usage of the boat may affect this also If the boat is used
exclusively for toilet facilities or storage facilities and not moved, it may need a
permit. They have no regulation as to a parking time limit for private property
landowners

RE Reimbursement to MaInstream
Development - sidewalk project
DA: July 16,2001
Discussion.
In November 2000 the CIty entered Into an agreement WIth Mainstream Development that
mvolved the constructIon of a sIdewalk on the south sIde of the old Maple Island Creamery The
agreement prOVIdes for reImbursing MaInstream Development, not to exceed $5000, for
construction of the sIdewalk (note. the agreement IS related to an assessment appeal of the
Downtown LIghtIng improvement by MaInstream Development)
MaInstream Development has submItted an mvoice for $6500 and is requestmg that they be
reimbursed this amount because of the reasons stated In the attached letter
If Council approves the request, the additional funds would come from the "excess" TIF revenue
that will be generated by the MaInstream Development (I e, the redevelopment of the old maple
Island Creamery).
RecommendatIon.
CouncIl consIder reimbursement of $6500 for MaInstream Development SIdewalk project.

AGREEMENT
The CIty of StIllwater, Minnesota, a munIcipal corporation, (the "City), and Mainstream
L-L t..-
Development PartnershIp (the "Redeveloper") are partIes to a Contract for Private
Redevelopment (the "Agreement") dated March 16, 1999 and recorded In the office of the
County Recorder or the Registrar of Titles in WashIngton County, MInnesota, as Document No
3047669, which provided for the Redevelopment of land described In Exhibit "A".
RECJTALS
1 The Redevelopers have requested tax increment assistance for the construction of
a public sidewalk on City property abutting the south exposure of improvements constructed on
the property pursuant to the Agreement.
2. The sidewalk proposed by the Redevelopers is integral to pedestrian traffic
circulatIon between Main and Water Streets
3. The SIdewalk proposed by the Redevelopers was shown on onginal plans
subIDItted by the Redeveloper, however, the tax increment expected to be returned to the
Redeveloper pursuant to the Agreement is not sufficient to provide for the constructIon since the
eligible expenses expected to be reimbursed to the Redeveloper pursuant to the Agreement
exceeds the available tax increment.
4. The project actually constructed by the Redevelopers would not have been
possible without the tax increment provided to the Redevelopers pursuant to the Agreement, and
the proposed sidewalk was integral to a final build out and occupation of the Property by
Redevelopers and their tenants.
REDEVELOPER ACTION
1. Redeveloper WIll construct the public sidewalk adjacent to the south exposure of
the redevelopment property and according to the specificatIOns of the CIty EngIneer
2. The sIdewalk wIll remain public property after constructIon
CITY ACTION
1. The City by this Agreement grants to the Redevelopers, theIr contractors,
employees and agents, a nght of entry to en!er upon the CIty property for the purpose of
constructing and maintaining the sidewalk.
2. The City will reimburse the Redevelopers from the increment funds generated
from the District for the costs of construction of the sidewalk in an amount not to exceed Five
Thousand and no/l00th Dollars ($5,000.00), upon proof of payment by the Redevelopers as
required by the Minnesota Tax Increment Act.
3 The City WIll also, at Its expense, and in order to faCIlItate the sidewalk
construction, remove a light standard and light pole that if allowed to remaIn would interfere
with construction.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have set their hands this f3 'Crday of
November, 2000.

RE. Aspen Street draInage problem
DA. July 13,2001
The CIty has been receiVIng complaints regardmg storm water run off from the resIdent that
resIdes on North 4th Street at the northeast intersection of Aspen Street. Apparently the property
owner constructed a garage on the Aspen Street SIde of his property and the water drains off
Aspen Street and flows into the garage. The resident wants the city to re-grade Aspen Street In
order to prevent the run off onto his property. However, the solution may not be as simple as just
re-grading the street because of the elevation and existing grades.
Klayton IS m the process of looking at feasIble optIOns to Improve this SItuatIon TIme did not
permIt him to have a report aVaIlable for the packet However, Klayton wIll provide you with a
report and recommendation at the meeting Tuesday.
In the meantime, please feel free to call Klayton or me If you have any questions.

T.H. 36 Partnership Study
Oak Park Heights, Stillwater, Washington County
About IRe Partnership Studies
The purpose of the mterregtonal comdor (IRe) PartnershIp Planmng Studtes program IS to encourage state
and local cooperatIon m ensunng the long-term performance of the IRC system The program IS mtended to
address local or spot problems along the IRC system
Partnerships for the T.H. 36 Study
TIns study wIll be conducted as a partnershIp between the COmmunItIes of Oak Park HeIghts and StIllwater,
WashIngton County, and Mn/DOT Metro DIVISIon TIns partnershIp WIll allow for publIc and pnvate
sectors' mput mto the land-use and access decISIOns covered by t1us study, and, hence, encourage shared
mvestments and responsIbIlItIes by all parnes mvolved, to develop and achIeve an overall transportatIon
system that would fit WIthm the COmmunIty and regIOnal context for T H 36
Study Area Limits
The partnershIp study Will look at key roadway unpacts throughout the area bounded by T H 5 on the west,
County Road 12/Myrtle Street on the north, and T H 95 on the east To the south, the study Will extend to
Oak Park HeIghts' southern hnnts and may extend further southward to County Road 14
.
Purpose, Scope, and Outcomes
The purpose of the T H 36 partnershIp study IS to refine the mtenm hybnd alternatIve and a future freeway
alternatIve for thIs segment ofT H 36, as IdentIfied m the recently completed T H 36 Comdor
Management Plan (5/01) The T H 36 PartnershIp Study Will deternune a future freeway sectIon that would
elImmate SIgnals at the T H 36 mtersectIons ofNorel/Washmgton, Osgood, and OakgreenlGreeley The
future freeway sectIon WIll, m turn, proVide dIrectIon to better define the mtenm hybnd alternatIve whIch
the comdor management plan has IdentIfied as necessary for the T H 36 comdor to meet IRC performance
cntena The hybnd optIons call for mtenm retentIon of two SIgnalIzed mtersectIons With one mtersectIon
converted to an overpass
Because the T H 36 comdor management plan dId not analyze Impacts to CIty and county streets and roads
to any SIgnIficant extent, the T H 36 partnershIp study WIll have a heavy focus on evaluatIng the
ImplIcatIons of the hybnd and freeway optIons for local roadways
The T H 36 partnershIp study would aId m the deSIgnatIon of land use, access, and transportatIon plannmg
deCISIOns along thIs sectIon ofT H 36 The T H 36 partnershIp study WIll IdentIfy the land-use and future
nght-of-way needs for a freeway sectIon m the comdor, and Will deternune a transportatIon system smtable
to meetIng the needs of bus messes and reSIdents whIle mamtammg commumty coheSIon between those
areas north and south ofT H 36
The study WIll seek to maxmuze the eXIStIng transportatIon facIlItIes (T H 36 and local and county
roadways) by developmg a coheSIve plan to mtegrate upgrades to the eXIStIng roadway systems m an
effiCIent manner, supported by local study partners DeSIred outcomes of the study are for the commumtIes
and county to mcorporate the comdor concepts mto theIr comprehensIve plans and to program the planned
local unprovements m theIr capItal Improvements programs

Street access Mr FIsher noted the plan IS not cast in stone, addItIonal studIes wIll help determme
the best alIgnment
RIchard KIlty, 311 S Fourth St , askedwhy the CIty was bemg asked to approve such a nebulous
plan Mr FIsher responded that when the plan gets down to mdIvldual projects, that wIll open up
a whole new approval process
BIll Bengsten, 719 S Fourth St, provIded a petItIon of some 76 sIgnatures opposed to closing of
the Greeley Street access and supporting the original MnDOT plan of clOSIng the Osgood access,
leavmg Greeley open
Jeanne Anderson, 1104 S Fourth Street, raIsed concerns, as she dId m the letter that was part of
the record, regardmg safety Issues, the hlstonc character of the ThmllFourth streets
neIghborhood, the fact the MnDOT plan Isn't in complIance WIth the transportatIon goals of the
CIty's ComprehensIve Plan

provIdes needed access to Lakevlew HOSpItal.

CIty's Comprehensive Plan He SaId It would not be appropnate to endorse the comdor
management plan untIl It addresses the key issue of what streets WIll get more traffic as a result
of ImplementatIOn
JIm Hamlen, 1206 S. ThIrd St., suggested that perhaps the vision of the plan, the 55 mph goal, is
flawed And he saId the City should not approve the management plan concept untIl solutIons are
more vIsible
DavId Reimer, 1202 S Third St, suggested it would stIll be important for the City to be part of
the management team
Also speakmg agamst approval of the plan were Don Nolde, ThIrd Street, and Dawn Rogness
CommIssion members were In consensus that more details need to be aVaIlable, and that the CIty
ought to be in the ongoing planning process. Members were In consensus that the Greeley Street
access should not be closed. Mr. Zoller suggested that another Issue for the City is that of plans

Steve Russell, Community Development Director
Date: 6-7-01
Subject: TH36 Corridor Management Plan
Discussion
The TH36 Corridor Management plan is presented for planning commission review, comment
and recommendation to the City Council. Consideration of the plan is a pubic hearing so
Stillwater resIdents, interested in the plan, may make comments. (See letter from Jeanne
Anderson)
The City Council is being asked by MnDot to pass a resolution adopting the plan The City
Council is scheduled to consider the plan and any Planning Commission comments or
recommendations at their meetIng of 7-17-01.
CIty planning staffhas represented the City on'the TEC, Technical Evaluation Committee. A
draft plan was previously presented to the City Council on 2-6-01 resulting in the attached letter
of comment, which was submitted to MnDot's consultant.
The corridor plan has changed significantly since the February City review. In February,
Greeley was identified as the interchange location for the ultimate interchange improvement to
TH36. Now Osgood and Washington are identified as the interchange Jocations if a new St.
Croix river Bridge is constructed. If a new bridge is not constructed, the three intersections
Washington, Greeley and Osgood will remain.
To further define and look more closely at the impacts of the TH36 corridor plans, a follow-up
Interregional Corridor Partnership Planning Study has been proposed by MnDot. A letter
describing the scope of the study is attached. In that study, the specific Stillwater traffic impacts
would be more specifically identified and considered. The proposed outcome of that study
would be to amend the City Comprehensive Plan to accommodate the plan.
For background, enclosed is Chapter IV, Transportation, from the City Comprehensive Plan.
The road clarification map shows the major road/streets and traffic count for 1992. An updated
2000 traffic count map is enclosed. As you will note County Road 5, Greeley and Osgood are all
collector streets providing for through traffic movement. A new bridge is the only improvement
that could significantly reduce cut through traffic on those streets.
WithOut addItional information on the impacts of the corridor plan and hybred alternatives on the
City of Stillwater it is difficult to recommend for or against the corridor plan. Additional
information resulting from the IRe Partnership Study will assist in consideration of the plan or .
plan alternatives (Maybe by then a bridge decision will have been made.)
Action Recommended
Receive presentation, hear public comments and make recommendation regarding plan approval
to the City Council.

to historic structures and sites and natural
features.
The existing transportation system is closely
linked to historical development patterns of the
city. land use planning and transportation
planning should be carried out at the same time
so that the road systems are designed to
accommodate the number and type of trips
generated from development. This was not done
when the original city was laid out. Problems
arise when the road system can not handle the
travel demands being placed on them. Stillwater
has an existing road network that carries a varying
numbers of vehicles for different reasons. A
purpose of this plan is to recognize and correct. to
the extent possible, conflicts between land use
and traffic and plan for future needs based on
local and regional demand.
. Transportation Goals
Goal 1. Make it easy and convenient to travel in
and around Stillwater. tie allowable new
development to the capacity of roadways; prevent
intrusion of non-residential traffic in
neighborhoods when possible and develop a
comprehensive sidewalk, trail and bikeway
system.
Goals 2. Develop a coordinated transportation
system that provides for local as well as area-wide
traffic.
Goal 3. Provide efficient and environmentally
sound transportation facilities consisting of roads.
bikeways, transit lines and pedestrian paths.
Goal 4. Support construction of the new interstate
bridge and TH 36 corridor improvements to
provide for regional traffic demands and to relieve
. cut through traffic on residential areas.
Goal 5. Develop and locate new roads sensitive
Goal 6. Protect residential areas from non-
residential traffic.
Street Functional Classification
The Stillwater road system can be defined in
terms of a functional hierarchy that takes into
account the type of trip being made and the
roadways relationship to the adjacent land uses.
The functional classification for Stillwater roads
are mapped and described below:
Principal arterials are major roadways such as
Interstate 94 or TH 36. The primary function of
these roads is to provide through movement of
regional traffic.
Minor Arterials connect cities and towns to rural
areas and other cities and towns. Ttt 95 and 96
fit this category.
Collectors are streets that connect neighborhoods
or a neighborhood to a business district. Many of
the business streets in Stillwater are collectors.
Collector streets include South Third and Fourth
Streets, Chestnut, Myrtle (County 12), Greeley,
Owens Olive (County 5) Pine, Olive and
McKusick (CR 64). According to resident opinion
surveys. traffic on residential collector streets is a
primary neighborhood concem because the traffic
is in conflict with neighborhood residential
qualities.
The Metropolitan Council has classifications of
principal arterials and "A" minor arterials, based
on metropolitan-wide review "A". Minor arterials
are further classified as augmenter, reliever,
expander and connector. In the Stillwater area.
the following roadways are classified:

ADT
- McKusick Road at Oak Glen - 1300 ADT
Collector
- Pine Street - 3500 ADT
The traffic volumes currently fall within the ADT
range for classifications in the above table.
However, congestion does occur. due to daily and
seasonal traffic volume fluctuation. Much of the
congestion within Stillwater is directly related to
the St. Croix River bridge location in the
downtown. The construction of the new river
bridge will significantly change traffic patterns and
reduce congestion levels. Muc.h of ttA is
documented in MnDOT studies and analysElP."

Stillwater's Roadway System
The City of Stillwater has a number of major roads
.nd streets that make up the backbone road
system. These roads are under the jurisdiction of
the Minnesota Department of Transportation
(MnDOT), Washington County or the City of
Stillwater. Coordination of transportation planning
between MnDOT. Washington County and the
City of Stillwater is critical to the successful
operation of the road system.
A number of traffic studies have affected the
Stillwater Transportation Plan. MnDOT has
provided detailed traffic analyses and forecasts
(year 2017) in conjunction with the new river
crossing. Stillwater. Oak Park Heights.
Washington County and MnDOT cooperated on a
sturdy and forecast of traffic along TH 36 and the
frontage roads. Washington County is currently
completing a comprehensive plan and has
forecasted traffic as part of the plan. The City of
Stillwater has forecasted traffic from several
developments as part of the analysis of the
.evelopment plan. The traffic volume forecasts in
this plan are based on the several sources and
reconciled with each other.
Highway 36 serves as a metropolitan area
principal arterial carrying traffic into and through
the metropolitan area. It provides a St. Croix
River crossing and is one of only three
connections to Wisconsin from the metropolitan
area (others are at Prescott and Hudson). For
Stillwater planning purposes TH 36 can be divided
into three segments: the St. Croix River crossing
and the TH 95 interchange, the section from TH
95 to TH 5. and the section from TH 5 west to CR
15 and Interstate 694 beyond.
The need for a new river crossing has been
clearly identified in many planning documents and
studies. The TH 36 bridge has the third highest
rating for new bridge construction in the
Metropolitan Council River Crossing Study. This
.transportation plan is based on the assumption
that the bridge will be constructed in the planning
period. Bridge plans are now being prepared and
the bridge is currently scheduled to begin
construction in 1997 and be completed by 2000.
The new bridge will replace the existing route
through the downtown. The existing route
experiences major congestion because of
conflicts with local traffic. pedestrians and narrow
streets. It is anticipated by MnDOT that a new
river crossing bridge would carry a volume of
28,000 ADT by the year 2017. This is compared
to a 1992 volume of 15,000 ADT on the existing
bridge. Even with the new bridge, the existing lift
bridge is projected to carry 12,000 ADTs by the
year 2017. These volumes show the significant
amount of projected future interstate traffic in the
Stillwater area.
TH 36 from the TH 95 interchange to TH 5 is
currently relatively congested in peak hours and
carries a heavy volume of both local and through
traffic. Current traffic volume is 25.500 ADT west
of Washington Avenue. Mn/DOT forecasts a
volume of over 62.000 ADT by 2017.
Mn/DOT anticipates that the three existing
signalized intersections at Osgood Avenue,
Greeley Street and Washington Avenue will
remain in place for the foreseeable future. There
is concern that with the high traffic volume, TH 36
will eventually become congested resulting in
traffic again using residential collector and local
streets.
TH 36 from TH 5 to CR 15 and beyond the
planning area was recently studied by Mn/DOT.
Washington County and communities in a TH 36
access study. The goal was to identify major
highway access points from Stillwater to
Maplewood. Based on the study. MnDOT is
committed to future full interchanges on TH 36 at
TH 5 and at CR 15. In the interim, MnlDOT and
Washington County have installed a traffic signal
at the CR 15 intersection.
County Road 15 (Manning Avenue), a minor
arterial, is the second major roadway serving the
Stillwater area. The road is shown as a new
4-3
Washington Parkway in the Washington County
Comprehensive Plan. A new CR 15 road
segment between TH 36 and TH 5 is planned to
be constructed to provide a major north-south
through route from Forest lake to TH 61 just north
of Hastings.
CR 15 also collects local traffic and distributes it to
major east-west routes. As an example, traffic
may enter CR 15 at TH 96 and travel only a few
miles south until exiting to go west or east on TH
36. Other traffic might utilize CR 15 between TH
5 or Interstate 94. It is likely that in the future
there will be more north-south regional traffic
using CR 15 as compared to existing routes
closer to the metropolitan area.
Because of the volumes and the nature of traffic,
access to CR 15 will be limited. It is anticipated
that there will be traffic signals at CR 15 at County
Road 12 and at Highway 96. Another signalized
access points may be McKusick Road depending
on need according to the Washington County
transportation plan.
Highway 95 is also classified minor arterial. It is a
north-south route following the St. Croix River. It
serves primarily as a route for local or area traffic
and some through traffic, primarily of recreational
nature. Future volumes range from 8,500 ADT
north of TH 96 to 17,000 ADT north of Myrtle
Street and 35,000 ADT north of the new bridge.
Primary restraints to traffic exist in the downtown
and in the future at the new TH 36 bridge
interchange.
County Road 5 (Stillwater Avenue) is classified a
minor arterial. It is a continuation of TH 5 south of
Highway 36. TH 5 provides connections to lake
Elmo, CR 15 to the south, and Interstate 694. CR
5 serves local major attractions such as the
Stillwater Marketplace and the Croixwood
residential neighborhood. The major problem with
the CR 5 route is the lack of a direct connection
through Stillwater to areas north of Stillwater.
Currently, CR 5 becomes a city street using Olive
Street and Owens Street to connect to areas north
of Stillwater. Estimated future traffic volumes are
9000 AOrs on the Olive Street segment, 12,000
, ,
north of Croixwood and 17,000 south of Curve
Crest Boulevard. .
County Road 12 (Myrtle Street) is classified as a
collector street running from the downtown west
through Stillwater to the URTPA and Grant
Township. CR 12 is a main east-west connection
from Stillwater serving as an alternate to TH 36.
It also serves to provide access from CR 15 to
Stillwater. The use of and flow of traffic on the
roadway is hampered by the lack of a good north-
south connection to CR 12 in Stillwater.
Other collectors of importance are Greeley Street
from TH 36 north to Myrtle Street, Owens Street
from Olive Street north to TH 96 and McKusick
Road from Owens Street to CR 15. These three
routes serve varying volumes of traffic. Greeley
Street serves a high volume in the TH 36 area as
a major connection between the Stillwater
residential areas and the West Stillwater Business
Park. Owens Street serves as a major outlet from
the central Stillwater area to the north. McKAk
Road is more of a local collector street but i~e
of the few connections to the Oak Glen
development and the developing URTPA.
System Restraints
.
A major traffic restraint in the west Stillwater
residential area of Croixwood and Oak Glen, is the
lack of north-south through access. Planning for
the Croixwood neighborhood deliberately omitted
a north-south collector street, instead focusing on
connections to CR 5. The two connections to CR
12 provide indirect connections through residential
neighborhoods back to CR 5.
Brick Street served as the main connection
between CR 12 and CR 5. The subsequent
development of the Deerpath residential area
resulted in Deerpath being used as a cut-through
route.
.
North of CR 12, there is a lack of north-south
4-4
street continuity because of McKusick Lake,
Browns Creek, and the existing development
patterns. The new Neal Avenue bridge over
.rowns Creek provides continuity for a portion of
~e area between Highway 96 and Boutwell Road
but that continuity ends there. Boutwell Road and
CR 12 is a difficult intersection because of
intersection design and location.
East-west routes are primarily CR 12 and
McKusick Road. Both of these roads connect to
Owens Street. Traffic using McKusick Road will
probably use Owens Street to CR 12 (Myrtle
Street) which will experience additional congestion
in the future as the area develops.
The URTPA growth area analysis addresses
these system restraints.
Overview of Traffic Problems
In the past ten years, Stillwater has experienced
an increase in traffic not only on major arterial
streets but on residential collector and local
_treets as well. This increase in traffic is a result
f a number of factors. Passenger car registration
in Washington County increased from 60,500 in
1980 to 95,150 in 1993, a 57 percent increase.
New development has occurred in Stillwater and
surrounding areas adding trips to the street
network. The existing river crossing and access
to that crossing is congested at times. An
increasing number of vehicles are using
Stillwater's collector street system to provide a
faster way to get through Stillwater to the bridge or
to bypass the downtown area.
The existing streets in the older sections of
Stillwater (Greeley Street, Myrtle Street, Pine
Street, Fourth Street and Third Street) were built
prior to the 1950's. Many of the streets were not
designed to carry the traffic they are now carrying
but do because of location or lack of alternative.
The following is list of transportation system
.roblems identified during the comprehensive
~Ianning process. Problem Areas include: Road
capacity, congested intersections, offset streets,
intersection design, cut through traffic, road
alignment and safety concerns.

URTPA Growth and Traffic Impacts
.
The land use plan contains three development
concepts. The land use plan has been reviewed
for its impact on the existing street system and
need for new streets.
Palmer property (a part of Twin lake Special Plan
Area, see Section 13) - The northern-most
concept plan, just south of TH 96, has limited
access to the east and south because of South
Twin lake and Brown's Creek and the existing
development. The proposal shows a new
collector street to connect Neal Avenue to CR 15
approximately 700 feet south of TH 96. The only
other access shown is to Neal Avenue or a loop
back to TH 96 west of South Twin Lake. A major
concern is the close spacing between the
proposed east-west collector and the intersection
of CR 15/TH 96.
Abromovich property (a part of Boutwell SP.I
Plan Area, see Section 13) - The second concept
plan area is located just south of McKusick Road
and north Boutwell Road. Access is provided to
Boutwell Road and across the Minnesota
Transportation Museum railroad tracks to
McKusick Road. Utilizing these connections. all
development traffic can be centered on two
existing intersections on CR 15.
Kroening - Staloch properties (a part of long lake
Special Plan Area, see Section 13) - The third
concept plan area is located south of CR 12 and
north of 62nd Street North. The concept plan
shows limited access to CR 15. The existing 72nd
Street connection is closed and traffic re-routed to
a new intersections along CR 12 and CR 15. With
proper design and location. the single CR 12
access should be adequate. Major access to CR
15 is almost % mile south of CR 12. With the
exception of existing driveways to private hcAs
and the proposed commercial corner. C~ 5
4-6
would have controlled access along its east side
through this development area. Large lot
development on the Grant Township side of CR
..5 would limit the number of driveways and
~tentlally permit combining driveways to a single
access point.
The lower portion of area three is on the west side
of Long Lake north of 62nd Street North. Again,
options exists to restrict direct access by providing
an internal circulation system with access to
perimeter roads only at one or two locations. The
proposed development shows connections to
62nd Street North and to CR 15 and a second
connection near the north end of the development
area. An overall circulation plan should be
prepared for area three to coordinate the overall
street system and control access to CR 15 and
12.
Access at the south end of the development area
is dictated by the adjacent research and
development use proposed for the area
immediately north of TH 36. Access to this Rand
~ office park should not be through an existing or
"oposed residential area. The extension of
Curve Crest Boulevard west from CR 5 continuing
along CR 5 and TH 36 as a frontage road would
best serve the research and development area.
However, the west connection could create a
problem unless it is utilized as a frontage road and
tied into the TH 36-CR 15 interchange signal
system
Three options exist for road access to CR 15.
Existing 62nd Street North could be connected
directly to the proposed residential development
on the west side of Long Lake. Either a cul-de-
sac or some type of circuitous routing in an east-
west direction could provide access to the existing
homes but restrict through traffic. An access from
both residential areas to the frontage road and
research and development area could be made if
it were circuitous and unlikely to attract cut-
through traffic. This could occur if the existing
Cnd Street North location were utilized, and a
antage road developed to curve to the south and
along TH 36. A connection back north to existing
62nd Street and into the residential area could
provide an indirect route for through- traffic and
yet be convenient for the residential traffic. A
second access into the area could be provided
approximately halfway between the frontage road
connection and the new connection into the
development area three. This connection should
provide access to the Apple Orchard area.
The alternative road alignments and access points
for the URTPA are shown on the following map.
With the forecasted traffic volumes, it is
anticipated that CR 15 will become a four-lane
divided facility with a median and limited median
cross-overs. By spacing the development access,
cross-overs can be established at the proper
locations to serve development areas.
Access to the east toward Stillwater from the
developments is a concern. The northerly
developments will utilize either McKusick Road,
Boutwell Road or Neal Avenue. These routes will
provide access to CR 12 or Owens Street. A
major concern is the lack of direct access to the
Market Place and West Business Park area. A
secondary concern is the potential congestion at
the intersections of Owens Street, Greeley Street,
Myrtle Street and Olive Street. Two separate
studies are being conducted to address these
issues. The DeEnpath connection study is
underway. It is attempting to identify alternates to
reduce Deerpath traffic volume and still provide
some movement between the area north of CR 12
and the West Business Park area. The second
proposed study will review traffic operations, traffic
controls and street design at the four intersections
in the Greeley/OwenslMyrtle/Olive corridor. This
study would be a cooperative effort between the
City and Washington County.
The extension of Neal Avenue from Boutwell to
CR 12 is an option but raises concerns. The
extension of Neal Avenue from TH 96 to CR 12
would provide an alternate access and a better
intersection location than the existing Boutwell

ACCESS PLAN
Road location. It could also reduce traffic along
McKusick Road. A major concern is the
immediate access from Neal Avenue into the
.croixwood development via Northland Avenue.
Options are to offset Neal Avenue east from
Northland Avenue. provide a different connection
between Boutwell Road and CR 12. or continue to
terminate Neal Avenue at Boutwell Road and use
Boutwell Road for access to the south.
Traffic volumes using generalized development
densities. trip generation and distribution was
calculated for each of the three concept plan
areas. Based on this analysis. none of the
intersections onto CR 15 or the local streets
receive a significantly high volume of traffic. The
additional residential growth adds approximately
1.200 vehicles per day to McKusick Road east of
CR 15 with most traffic going to or from the south.
Volume increases on Boutwell Road east of CR
15 was approximately 2,150 vehicles per day with
over 1.800 travelling to and from the south. The
first major access point south of CR 12 had a
volume of approximately 2.500 with over 80%
.travelling to and from the south. The second
access point had a volume of approximately 1.800
with approximately 1.600 travelling to and from the
south. Even the research and development area
adds only approximately 2,400 trips per day to the
TH 36 frontage road at the CR 15 intersection.
Traffic to the east included approximately 160 on
McKusick Road. 1.150 on Boutwell Road and
1.800 on the TH 36 frontage road.
Total additional traffic volume on CR 15 north of
CR 12 was less than 2.900 vehicles per day and
the additional traffic volume on CR 15 north of TH
36 was approximately 6.500 vehicles per day.
With planned improvements to CR 15 and TH 36
and sound development road design additional
traffic resulting from the development concept
areas can be accommodated in the existing and
planned road system.
. Washington County Road Improvements
Washington County's transportation plan is part of
the document. Based on Washington County
proposed land use. a traffic generation model
was developed that forecasts traffic demand on
major state and county roads to 2015. The
preliminary results of the forecasts and analysis of
existing and future road network as they effect the
Stillwater area are listed below:
Road Improvements
- Extend CR 15 (Manning Avenue) from TH 36
to TH 5.
- Widen CR 15 to 4-lanes between TH 36 and
TH 96 (high priority).
- Add traffic signals along CR 15 from TH 36 to
TH 96 as needed.
- Improve operation of Osgood Avenue between
TH 36 and Orleans Street (5-year CIP).
Mn DOT Highway Improvements
MnDOT has scheduled improvements to the TH
36/CR 5 intersection for 1997. This improvement
will widen CR 5 to four lanes plus turn lanes
through the TH 36 interchange and will extend
the city bicycle/pedestrian trail south to the high
school. Construotion of the new TH36 bridge is
scheduled to begin in 1997 and be completed by
2000 according to the most recent MnDOT
schedule. This major project along with the recent
traffic signal installation at TH 36 and CR 15 will
significantly reduce traffic levels on Stillwater
streets.
Objectives, Policies and Programs
The following objectives. policies and programs
comprise the transportation plan element of the
comprehensive plan.
Objectives
Maintain the carrying capacity of through streets
4-8
while minimizing the negative impact on adjacent
residential areas through landscape treatment and
street design.
Maintain the areas next to Greeley, Owen, Olive
Myrtle Chestnut, Third, Fourth and Pine streets in
residential use and not allow the areas to convert
to commercial land use.
Through road design and traffic management,
limit through traffic in residential areas.
Work with MnOOT and Washington County to
study and improve state highways and county
roads where needed.
Plan new development areas to coordinate with
planning for the roads that provide access to the
development sites, i.e., CR 15, CR 12, CR 64, TH
96, TH 36.
Policy 1: Create a unified, contmuous system of arterials
and collectors.
Policy 2: Segment local residential streets so that all traffic
flows onto collectors or arterials
Policy 3. Support new TH 36 bridge and related TH 36
improvements
Policy 4: Wo/1( with Washington County and MnDOT on TH
36/CR 15 Improvements and the planning and construction
of a Frontage Road between CR 15 and CR 5.
PoRcy 5: Consider modifications to residential street design
in order to discourage through traffic.
Policy 6: Improve traffic and parking in and around
commercial areas.
Policy 7: The city shall continue to make every effort to
assure that adequate enforcement Is available to assure
traffic safety In residential areas.
Policy 8: The city shall make every effort feasible to assure
that through traffic Is diverted from residential streets to
arterials.
Program (1) Develop an area-wide coordinated road
improvement program with MnDOT and Washington County.
Program (2) Prepare a GreeleylOwens corridor study and
Thircl/Fourth Street traffic study with WaShington County.
Program (3) Prepare Deerpath traffic study to reduce or
eliminate cut through traffic and not significantly impact other
residential areas ·
Program (4) Prepare and keep up to date a parking Pla.d
parking management program for the downtown
Program (5) Improve the Second Streef/Mulberry Street
parking lot and Second and Olive Streets lot as convenient,
attractive public parking lots
Program (6) Implement downtown parking dlstnct to pay for
maintenance of downtown parking lots.
Non-Auto Travel
The following sections discuss non-auto ways to
better accommodate travel demand. Ways
discussed include traffic demand management,
bicycle paths, pedestrian ways and transit.
Policies and programs are described for each
mode of travel.
Travel Demand Management
Travel demand management (TOM) refers to
strategies that improve the operation of A
transportation system by limiting demands on ~
system in contrast to strategies that improve the
system itself or increase the supply of roads. It
includes techniques to reduce peak period vehicle
trips by shifting travelers from driving alone into
shared ride arrangements, such as ride sharing or
transit or into alternative work arrangements, such
as flextime and telecommuting, that remove trips
from the peak travel times.
The concept of management demand on the
transportation system is fairly new in suburban
settings, although it has been successfully used
by some individual companies such as Andersen
Windows and 3M Company for many years.
The goal of a TOM program is to meet specific
travel objectives such as increased auto
occupancy rates, decreased peak hour travel and
increased transit use. Benefits may include: .
- Reduced travel demand and tr~
congestion

Re: Comments on TH 36 Subarea Study
Dear Mr. McBride:
First and foremost, the report assumption about a new TII 36 bridge being constructed should be reconsidered
and a no-build option developed. All regional studies, MnDOT, Met Council and Washington County, to date
have assumed a new bridge. Without a new bridge, the regional traffic planning situation will change
significantly and must be reevaluated.
The study identifies as an issue the lack of north-south highway system continuity. However, the study does
not suggest any method of recognizing or calling for a connection such as a north-south CR 15 connection
between TH 97 and Freeway 94 or TH 61 to the south. A way of connecting CR 15 to TII 5 on the west side
of Stillwater should be a part of the study. Without this connection, the City of Stillwater will be further
impacted by regional traffic trying to travel through Stillwater from CR 15, north ofTII 36, to TII 5 or Freeway
94 south ofTII 36.
.
The land use impact of an intersection at CR 15 and TII 36 needs further evaluation. The northeast quadrant
of that intersection is planned for an office business park in the City of Stillwater's Comprehensive Plan. The
economic impact of such an intersection could be SIgnificant on that future land use. Land in other quadrants
of the intersection do not have urban services and should be considered if the intersection is to be constructed.
The specifics of actual improvements in the CR 15 to Osgood section of the TII 36 corridor are of concern to
the City of Stillwater. We will continue to work with Washington County, MN DOT and Oak Park Heights on
solutions to the increasing traffic and congestion. Again, a no-bridge decision significantly ~:ffects '!Vork.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the draft plan.

Dear Council Members
I am writing to urge you to reject MNDOT's plans to eliminate Greeley Street as an access point for
Highway 36, and to limit the access points only to Osgood and Washington Avenues.
The elimination of Greeley as an access point will unnecessarily increase the through traffic on South 4th
Street and South 3rd Street and will make access to the Stillwater Hospital difficult. South 3rd Street and
South 4th Street are lined with residences for a preponderance of their length and are in front of schools.
Greeley, in contrast, is more cOlnmercial in nature and has a more direct access to Myrtle street.
Your comprehensive plan specifically addresses the issues of preserving residential neighborhoods.
Therefore you must adopt a position for the City which is in congruence with that plan.
What I am asking is that you support no changes to the Highway 36 access points and that you ask .
MNDOT to make Highway 36 between Stillwater and Oak Park Heights a 45 mph parkway (like what
is found in St. Paul)
lfurther ask that you be participating with MNDOT in the planning of the Highway 36 corridor. If
you do not participate then decisions for the corridor will be made without the representation for the
citizens of Stillwater.
I am also concerned that our Ward 1 representative is an employee of MNDOT and I have to question
whether we are being adequately represented in this particular matter.
If you have any questions you may reach me at my office at WR Medical in Stillwater (430-8463 direct
line).

RE: MN DOT Highway 36 Proposal- June 11 Planning Commission Meeting
Dear Planning Commission Members:
I have been informed that MN DOT is presenting its Highway 36 Proposal at the next Planning
Commission Meeting, Monday, June 11 at 7:00 P.M.
Please consider the following points when you review the MN DOT Highway 36 Proposal:
1. The current plan calls for closing off Greeley Street access to Highway 36. I believe this will
result in a dramatic increase in traffic on South 4th Street and South 3rd Street. South 4th and South
3rd are in a residential neighborhood, with 3 elementary schools and a junior high school on or near
those streets.
. 2. The Comprehensive Plan calls for reduction of traffic in residential areas in 3 of it 6 goals for
Transportation:
Goal 1. Make it easy and convenient to travel in and around Stillwater, tie allowable
new developmenttothe capacity of roadways; prevent intrusion of non-residential
traffic in neighborhoods when possible and develop a comp~ehensive sidewalk,
trail and bikeway system.
Goal 4. Support construct of the new interstate bridge and 111 36 corridor
improvements to provide for regional traffic demands and to relieve cut through
traffic on residential areas.
Goal6. Protect residential areas from non-residential traffic.
The MN DOT Highway 36 plan to close Greeley while leaving Osgood open to 36 is not consistent
with the City's comprehensive Plan and does not conform to 3 of the 6 Goals set by the City for
Transportation.
3. In addition, the basic premise that the roadway between 5 and 95 cutting through Oak Park
Heights and Stillwater should be questioned. This area should be designated a ''parkway'' with a
.
Page 1 of 2
speed of 45 m.p.h. and should be landscaped. Trucks should be required to stay on 36 and not travel
on residential streets including South 4th and South 3rd.
.
By adopting a Resolution supporting the current MN DOT Highway 36 Plan, the Council would be
foregoing an opportunity for this area to be a parkway with a 45 m.p.h. speed.
4. MN DOT employees have stated in various prior meetings that they have funding for a second
study to determine the impact on local streets, including traffic counts on South 4th and South 3rd
Streets - current and projected under the Highway 36 Plan (none have been done so far on these two
streets). However, the second study is not yet underway and it may indeed not occur. The Planning
Commission and Council should not rely on the mere possibility of a promised second study as
changing the outcome of the plan. Instead, it should reserve judgment until a second study is done,
and then, a decision should be based upon tlu; fucts determined by the second study.
Therefore, the Planning Commission should not recommend the City Council adopt any Resolution
approving the current MN DOT Highway 36 Plan.

(Purp03e, Scope, Outcome)
The purpose of the study is to define the TH 36 Interim Hybrid Alternative and the Future Freeway design that
have been identified in the IRC Management Plan that is nearing completion. This study will determine a
future freeway section that will, in turn, identify the Interim Hybrid Alternative needed to meet the IRC
Performance Criteria. The Future Freeway would eliminate signals at the TH 36 intersections of
NorellWashington, Osgood Avenue, and OakgreenlGreeley.
This study will be conducted as a partnership between the cities of Oak Park Heights and Stillwater,
Washington County, and the Minnesota Department of Transportation. Upon completion of the $140 million St
Croix River Crossing, there is potential for conflict in this section of the corridor. This area will become a sub-
regional attraction for \Visconsin commuters and businesses, and existing land uses will be removed in favor of
larger retaiVcommercial complexes. The comprehensive plans for the cities of Grant and Lake Elmo will not
allow major commercial developments within their communities along TH 36. Development pressures will be
placed on the cities of Oak Park Heights and Stillwater. Given the complexities and constraints on projects in
Oak Park Heights, it has been determined that an ultimate freeway improvement for this segment would take
more detailed study to resolve. This study would identify the land-use and future right-of-way needs for a
freeway section in the corridor, and would determine a transportation system that could accommodate the need~
of businesses and residents while maintaining community cohesion between those areas north and south ofTH
36. Included in the study will be the identification of internal traffic patterns associated with a business district
separated by an IRC.
The outcome of this study would be to minimize the investment by an efficient design that would meet the IRe
Performance Criteria, determine future land uses and right-of-way, and determine preliminary designs and cost
estimates for the Interim Hybrid Alternative and the Future Freeway design. The desired outcome of the study
would be for the communities to adopt the planned corridor improvements as part of their comprehensive plaru
. at county and municipal levels.

Dear Steve:
Enclosed is a copy of the IRC Partnership Planning Studies Application. This study is
intended to further define the ultimate freeway section and the interim hybrid alternative
ofTII 36 between TII 5 and Osgood Avenue as recommended in the 11136 Subarea
Study. Issues such as land-use, access, effects on local traffic patterns, design of hybrid
and freeway alternatives, and cost estimates will be included in the study.
.
As part of the IRC Partnership Applicat~on, the local municipalities and county will be
asked to contribute financially. Since the deadline for the application was November 27,
2000, I was not given the opportunity to discuss the application and funding with the
local agencies. The total cost of the study is estimated at $145,000 of which MnlDOT
Metro District funds will be contributing $35,000 in combined cash and soft match. !!:!.
an estimate, it was deemed that the local share would be $25.000 in cash particwation
and $10,00U In soft match such as labor, facilities and mailings. The total contribution of
$35,000 would be shared by the cities of Oak Park Heights and Stillwater, and
Washington County.

The Program Delivery Group will be selecting those IRC Partnership Planning Studies
that meet their criteria for funding on December 12,2000 at which time I will be
contacting you as to the status of this application. If this study is selected, I will be
requesting that the City of Stillwater support this study financially. Please call me at

- Reduced demand for new or expanded
roadways
- Preservation of limited dollars for
transportation improvements
Energy conservation and improved air
quality.
A TOM program involves specific steps to improve
the efficiency of the roadway network by focusing
actions on vehicle-carrying efficiencies. Basic
elements of TOM program may include the
following techniques:
Ride sharing programs including car pool and
van pool.
Employer incentives such as subsidizing van
pools, preferential parking for car pools and van
pools, subsidized transit passes, flextime,
telecommuting, staggered work hours.
Reserved lanes for high-occupancy vehicles,
highways or arterials.
. Park and ride lots.
Bypasses on freeway ramp meters for buses
and car pools.
Guaranteed ride home programs for car poolers
and bus riders.
Road and parking pricing as a peak hour
congestion management tool.
Public transit service, both local and with
regional linkage.
Bicycle facilities and incentives.
All of the TOM techniques should be implemented
through a partnership of the state, the region,
cities, employers and the county. The common
goal is to encourage travelers to change their
behavior through incentives, enhanced services
and provision of special high occupancy facilities.
ane greatest motivations for behavior change are
wr>erceived opportunities for the individual travelers
to save time or money.
In the private sector, companies like Andersen
Windows have effectively employed TOM
techniques for many years. Similar programs
could be successful in high employment areas of
the St. Croix Valley. The coordination of
transportation demand management operation
among major employers in the Stillwater area is
recommended.
The role of the City of Stillwater should principally
be one of support, encouragement and
cooperation with employers and units of
government working to carry out TOM strategies.
This might include cooperating with Washington
County to establish park and ride lots, with MCTO
to provide improved public transit, with the state in
establishing HOV lanes on TH 36 and with private
employers in coordinating their individual efforts.
Pathways and Sidewalks
Beside vehicular movement, there are other ways
to move around the neighborhood and throughout
the Stillwater community. This non-auto
movement may be for travel purposes, to get a
loaf of bread or visit a neighbor, or for recreation.
Based on the resident opinion survey there is
significant community interest in improving the
walkway/pathway system in and around Stillwater.
Pathways add to the "quality of life" and "sense of
community" of an area and to the relationship of
one neighborhood to another. Trails and
pathways can also link recreational facilities,
natural areas or schools to residential areas.
The city has the opportunity with this
comprehensive plan to provide a design for future
pathway improvements. The plan should tie in
with county trails, (CR 12, Stonebridge Trail) and
provide new links between state and county
recreational areas such as a recreational trial
along the St. Croix between Afton State Park and
William O'Brien State Park or Lake Elmo Park
Reserve.
4-10
A pedestrian trail system should be an element of
the circulation/open space system of newly
developing residential areas. Trails would be
open to the public, provide access to
neighborhoods park facilities and beyond the
development to community attractions.
The Minnesota Zephyr Railroad right of way
provides a unique opportunity for a pedestrian or
bicycle connection between the downt9wn and
the URTPA. Railroad safety consideration would
have to be addressed with the development of a
railroad pathway. City ravines and open space
areas represent a potential location for trails.
Trails and paths locations are described and
mapped in the parks, trails and open space
section of the plan.
Bicycles
Bicycles are used for recreation as well as
transportation purposes. The two most basic
needs for providing and improving bicycles
facilities for all purposes are: (1) to provide
continuous facilities, including the removal of
physical barriers and the provision of system
continuity across political boundaries, and (2) to
provide increased safety for the bike user.
Recreational bicycle facilities are addressed in the
parks, trails and open space plan section. The
key challenge for Stillwater in encouraging bicycle
ways as a transportation mode will be to focus
bicycle facility construction along existing streets
and in developing areas where right of way is still
available and to use county and state roadway
reconstruction projects as opportunities to
construct needed pathways and trails.
Specific route selection criteria and design facility
treatment are available in the AASHTO guide to
bicycle trial planning and design. MnDOT will
soon be publishing a bikeway design book which
sets forth guidelines on facility type, location,
traffic, geometric design, accident risk and traffic
operations factors. Both of these documents,
especially the MnDOT design book, should be
used in designing Stillwater bicycle facilities.
Pedestrian Ways .
Pedestrian ways (sidewalks, paths and trails) are
an important element in the intermodal
transportation system, especially when
coordinated with neighborhood design and transit.
Neighborhood design can effectively integrate
pedestrian facilities and create more efficient and
aesthetically pleasing connected living
environments. Pedestrian trips can be
encouraged in developing areas through mixed
land use patterns which place homes closer to
stores, schools and services. Good pedestrian
access to bus stops enhances the use of public
transit. In Stillwater, the emphasis should be on
maintaining exiting sidewalks and adding new
facilities in residential areas where demand
dictates.
The parks and open space section proposes a
comprehensive pedestrian trail system comprised
of sidewalks and pathways for the existing c~
and developing URTPA. .
Transit
Stillwater is currently served by the Metropolitan
Transportation Commission commuter route
service to St. Paul.and a local circulation system
(Valley Transit). Valley Transit users are primarily
senior citizens dependent on local transit services
for shopping and for medical and recreation
services. The commuter service is scheduled
primarily for home to work trips.
Recommendations in the regional transportation
plan urge increasing capacity for rush hour routes
and coordinated local circulation transfers with
commuter route service. There are no plans to
provide light rail transit to Washington County or
the Stillwater area. At one time such services
were planned for the Interstate 94 corridor but that
location has been eliminated from the Washington
County and regional transportation plans.

TRUNK HIGHWAY 36 CORRIDOR MANAGEMENT RESOLUTION
After reviewing Mr. Russell's resolution plan, I feel that a few points were not addressed.
Firstly, it does not state that the City of Stillwater objects to no direct access for
OakgreenlGreeley Street.
Secondly, no where is it stated that we oppose the higher mean speed of 55 mph on
TH 36 from Minnesota 5 to Highway 95.
.
Thirdly, while Mr. Russell stated in the proposal that additional plans will be evaluated, I
along with several members of the community would like to see a parkway plan be
implemented. The parkway would exist on TH 36 :from Minnesota S to Highway 9S with
a speed limit of 45 mph.
It is my opinion that a parkway along 1H 36 would be a most welcomed addition to the
area. What brought our fiunily to this area was the uniqueness of Stillwater. A parkway
on rn 36 would only add to the charm and allure of our valley conununity, and slowing
the speed would give motorist a chance to take in what our community has to offer
shoppers and dinners along 1H 36.
In the interest of our community, please amend the management resolution to include:
Direct access for Oak.greenlGreely Street
Parkway from Minnesota 5 to Highway 5
Reduced speed along TII 36 from Minnesota 5 to Highway 95
I hope that you will give my suggestions consideration. I apologize for the lateness of
this letter, however, I had only received a copy oftbe proposal late this afternoon.

expect thIs trend to contmue over the next ten years or more ThIS growth IS reflected In
the Increased traffic on South ThIrd Street and East WIllard Street. Although our current
bUlldmg constructIOn has contnbuted to more traffic congestIOn, the number of parents
dnvmg theIr students to school has increased as well ThIs past school year It was
necessary to have an admmlstrator dIrecting traffic on ThIrd and WIllard twice a day If
the commISSIon adopts the MN DOT plan of closing off Greeley to Hwy 36 and allOWIng
only Osgood and Washmgton access to Hwy 36, we fear that 3rd Street WIll become a
major thoroughfare for traffic trymg to find access to other areas of StIllwater ThIS
addItional projected traffic mcrease IS lIkely to endanger the safety of the students and

RE. MN DOT Highway 36 Proposal - June 11 Planning Commission Meeting
Dear Planning Commission Members.
I have been informed that MN DOT IS presenting its Highway 36 Proposal at the next Planning
CommIssion Meeting, Monday, June II at 7.00 P.M.
Please consider the following points when you review the MN DOT Highway 36 Proposal:
I The current plan calls for closing off Greeley Street access to Highway 36. I believe this will
result in a dramatic increase in traffic on South 4th Street and South 3rd Street. South 4th and South
3rd are in a residential neIghborhood, with 3 elementary schools and a junior hIgh school on or near
those streets.
2. The Comprehensive Plan calls for reduction of traffic in residential areas in 3 of it 6 goals for
Transportation:
Goal 1. Make it easy and convenient to travel in and around Stillwater, tie allowable
new development to the capacity of roadways, prevent intrusion ofnon-residential
traffic in neighborhoods when possible and develop a comprehensive sidewalk,
trail and bikeway system.
Goal 4. Support construct of the new interstate bridge and TH 36 corridor
improvements to provide for regional traffic demands and to relieve cut through
traffic on residential areas.
Goal 6. Protect residential areas from non-residential traffic.
The MN DOT Highway 36 plan to close Greeley while leaving Osgood open to 36 is not consistent
with the City's comprehensive Plan and does not conform to 3 of the 6 Goals set by the City for
Transportation.
3. In addition, the basic premise that the roadway between 5 and 95 cutting through Oak Park
Heights and Stillwater should be questioned. This area should be designated a "parkway" with a
Page 1 of 2
.
.
.
speed of 45 m p.h and should be landscaped. Trucks should be required to stay on 36 and not travel
on resIdential streets mcludmg South 4th and South 3rd
By adopting a Resolution supporting the current MN DOT Highway 36 Plan, the Council would be
foregomg an opportunity for this area to be a parkway with a 45 m.p h. speed
4. MN DOT employees have stated in various prior meetings that they have fundmg for a second
study to determine the impact on local streets, including traffic counts on South 4th and South 3rd
Streets - current and projected under the HIghway 36 Plan (none have been done so far on these two
streets). However, the second study is not yet underway and it may indeed not occur. The Planning
Commission and Council should not rely on the mere possibility of a promised second study as
changing the outcome of the plan. Instead, It should reserve judgment until a second study is done,
and then, a deciSIOn should be based upon the facts determined by the second study.
Therefore, the Planmng CommIssIOn should not recommend the CIty CouncIl adopt any ResolutIon
approvmg the current MN DOT HIghway 36 Plan

RE MN DOT Highway 36 Proposal
Impact on Safety of School Children and Other Pedestrians
on South Fourth Street and South Third Street
Dear CIty Council:
I am very alarmed by a Minnesota Department of Transportation proposal to funnel most of the Stillwater
area traffic down South Fourth and South Third Streets I ask the City Council to reject the proposal and
ask that it be altered.
The plan is to limit access to HWY 36 in the Stillwater area by blocking off all access from 5 to the river,
with 2 exceptions. Washington Avenue and Osgood This means that the traffic which currently exits at
Greeley wIll have to enter the CIty of Stillwater elsewhere, and I am afraId it is gOIng to be Osgood since
Washington doesn't lead to the center of the CIty of Stillwater.
The sole IDlssion ofMN DOT as far as I can tell. is to increase the driving speeds on HWY 36 to 55 mph,
WIthout regard to the consequences of surrounding areas, and Stillwater in particular.
Osgood/South Fourth Street should not be chosen as one of the only two city streets as access points to
Stillwater because.
I-
...
1) it is not a through street,
2) it leads traffic through a historic, residential neighborhood;
3) since 4th is not a through street, drivers have to cut over to 3rd street so the increased traffic ruins
2 streets, not just op.e;
4) there are 3 elementary schools (Oak Park Elementary, S1. Croix Catholic School, Salem Lutheran
Elementary) and a junior high school (Stillwater Junior High School) on or 1 block away from the
Page 1 of 2
affected streets;
5) both streets are already quite busy and dangerous for children and other pedestrIans
There are additional reasons, including the Cub Headquarters employees' safety crossmg to theIr parking lot
across Third Street, and churchgoers crossing Third Street to get to St MIchael's CatholIc Church, already
dangerous situations.
The plan cuts off access to Greeley Street which IS now a more maior collector street than OSgood/South
Fourth/South Third Street. even though:
.
1) Greeley is mostly a commercial street;
2) Greeley is the main collector street gomg in the north-south dIrectIon,
3) Greeley is a through street winch goes to the other main collector street going in the east-west
direction (Myrtle Street);
4) Greeley does not have schools on or near the street;
5) Greeley does not have the same quantity of historic homes as does South 4th and South 3rd;
6) Leaving access at Greeley affects only one street and not two,
7) Greeley brings drivers to the center of the City of Stillwater.
If the plan goes through as it stands now, the increased traffic WIll create a more dangerous situation on these
streets for the area school children and other pedestrians than already exists. There will probably be a need
for traffic lights as well I thmk the end result IS to ruin the neIghborhood, drIve people lIke me out and .
maybe all of our homes will eventually end up as commercial entIties smce the increased traffic will probably
make the neighborhood uninhabitable.
Stillwater has not been adequately represented at the planning meetings. The choice of closing access
to Greeley and funneling the traffic down Osgood/South Fourth/South Third Streets was worked out
between the City of Oak Park Heights and MN DOT. The City of Stillwater was not involved in that
decision.
But there is still time to change the plan, and the time is now. Some time in the next month of so, MN
DOT and Washington County are going to ask you, the Stillwater City Council, to support this plan.
The City of Stillwater should be working to make South Fourth and South Third Streets more safe for
clnldren walking to school and for those of my neighbors and other pedestrians walkmg in these areas, not
less safe.
I ask the City Council to support me and my family in preserving the neighborhood and preventing
this plan from becoming final in this form.
Yours truly,
~~~

Executive Summary
The purpose of this TH 36 Corridor Management Plan is to document the study process and key
outcomes of the combined TH 36 SubarealInterregional Corridor (lRC) Study.
This executive summary focuses on key elements of the study process including the TH 36 Corridor
vision, the recommended TH 36 Corridor Management Plan, and the Implementation Plan and
Shared Strategies that are needed.
TH 36 Corridor Vision
The corridor vision has been developed based on study participant input and relevant factors
identified during the course of the study:
TH 36 provides an essential connection within the Twin Cities seven county metropolitan area. TH
36 is a medium priority interregional corridor 8.5 miles long and is located entirely within the
metropolitan area. The rationale for the designation of TH 36 from 1-694 to TH 95 as a medium
priority interregional corridor include its connection with the Stillwater area and its service as one of
the major routes connecting with western Wisconsin. TH 36 also serves the adjacent communities of
Stillwater, Oak Park Heights, Grant. Lake Elmo. Mahtomedi, Willemie, Pine Springs, and Oakdale.
This facility carries high volumes of commuter traffic and recreational/tourist traffic. Traffic
volumes are expected to increase due to the level of continued growth in Stillwater and Oak Park
Heights, which serve as the commercial activity center for the St. Croix Valley, and continued
growth in Western Wisconsin.
The Technical Evaluation Committee (TEC) has established a vision for TH 36 as a corridor that
attains IRC performance goals and provides safe. efficient travel between 1-694 and TH 95 in
Stillwater. The corridor currently operates in the range of 45 to 48 mph during the peak periods, well
below the 55 mph average peak hour operating speed goal. The vision will be achieved by
minimizing the need for additional signals and implementing appropriate access control strategies
along the corridor. Investments should be staged according to deman~ on the corridor.
Recommended Corridor Management Plan
A range of alternatives have been identified and assessed based on a group of relevant factors
identified during this study. A selected alternative that has been termed "Hybrid" is the selected
alternative for the TH 36 Corridor Management Plan because it adequately meets the IRC
performance goals in addition to the other relevant factors.
The future of the St. Croix River Crossing project (SCRC) has implications on study area traffic
volumes and corridor performance characteristics. For these reasons, two variations of the Hybrid
Alternative have been identified that correlate with the two SCRC scenarios.
Hybrid "A": Assumes the new SCRC is built. Characteristics include interchanges at Hilton Trail
and Manning Avenue. overpasses at DeMontreville Trail, Lake Elmo Avenue and
OakgreenlGreeley. maintenance of two existing signals at NoreIIWashington and Osgood in Oak
Park Heights and reorientation of all direct property access to TH 36 via support roadways.

.
.
Hybrid "B": Assumes the new seRC is not built. Major characteristics are similar to Hybrid "A"
with the exception of the OakgreenlGreeley crossing. The existing signal at this intersection would
be maintained resulting in three total signals in the Oak Park Heights area.
Concept Plans for Hybrid "A" and Hybrid "B" are shown in Appendices A and B.
Shared StrategieslImplementation Elements
Commitment, participation, cooperation, and continued action by a Corridor Management Team;
representing MnlDOT, Washington County and the affected study area municipalities, can ensure
the successful implementation of the TH 36 Corridor Management Plan over the 20-year planning
horizon. To aid in achieving this goal, an implementation plan including shared strategies has been
structured.
Strategies to be shared by the Corridor Management Team have been identified in correlation with
improvement plan elements. These elements are described below.
The shared strategies and implementation plan elements identified in the Corridor Management Plan
are based on the analysis of current data and forecast information. Actual priority for implementation
will be affected by actual congestion, crash experience, right-of-way acquisition, local support,
physicaVinstitutional constraints, and funding availability. Initial efforts of the Corridor Management
Team will focus on low cost/no cost strategies and elements followed by the more substantiallhigher
cost improvement plan elements as needs arise.
. Shared Strategies
1. Under the dIrection of MnlDOT, form a TH 36 Corridor Management Team to ensure continual
communications between project partners and momentum in the pursuit and implementation of
TH 36 Corridor Management Plan projects.
2. Officially map the corridor.
3. Incorporate the major concepts and strategies of the TH 36 Corridor Management Plan in
updates of Comprehensive Plans at the county and municipal levels.
.
4. Consider MnlDOT Access Management Guidelines for all study area roadways at state, county,
and local levels in review of access to new developments or redevelopments.
5. Do not allow any new direct access on to TH 36 (private property or public streets).
6. Locate funding for implementation plan elements.
7. Conduct appropriate pre-design efforts/environmental documentation to implement plan
elements.
8. Program, design, and construct short-term implementation plan elements.

Alternative.
4. Extend frontage road north of TH 36 westerly across the Gateway Trail to connect with
CSAH 36 (Hilton Trail).
5. Close the Highlands Trail access to TH 36.
6. Close frontage road accesses north of TH 36 at Highlands Trail east of the Gateway Trail
crossing.
7. Limit CR 13 (DeMontreville Trail) full access to TH 36 to right-inIright-out or ~ movements (no
left out).
8. Construct supporting roadway segments adjacent to the south side of TH 36 to consolidate
existing property access to TH 36. One roadway should either extend westerly from Keats
Avenue or include a ~ movement consolidated access near the Lauseng Stone commercial
property. The second roadway should consolidate existing driveway acCess on the south side of
TH 36 compatible with the construction of a supporting roadway between the CSAH 17 (Lake
Elmo Avenue) overpass and CSAH 15 (Manning Avenue) interchange.
9. Reconstruct frontage road connections north of TH 36 with CSAH 15 (Manning Avenue) to
provide better separation with the signalized intersection.

Partnership Study Program. This study will be a joint effort between MnlDOT, Washington
County, Stillwater, and Oak: Park Heights to analyze in greater detail the local connections onto
TH 36. The study will consider local land uses (existing and planned), safety, traffic flow
patterns, and access issues. The study will use the Hybrid "An and Hybrid "B" conceptual
improvements as a starting point and will evaluate the need for interchange and signalized access
treatments along TH 36. The study is expected to start in May 2001 and be concluded by April
2002.
Subarea Issues
As the improvement concepts evolved, it became apparent that emphasis should be placed on two
areas with respect to the overall study area:
1. Consideration of MnlDOT Access Management Guidelines by all responsible agencies. Access
Management Guidelines should be considered for all new land development/redevelopment and
in all roadway construction/reconstruction projects in the subarea.
2. Consider reclassifications of access categories for subarea system roadways that will change
function with implementation of the preferred TH 36 Corridor Management Plan.
Funding Sources/Categories
The designation of TH 36 as a medium priority interregional corridor may have implications on
potential IRC funding. MnlDOT is currently undertaking studies to develop Corridor Management
Plans for six high priority interregional corridors. These studies are expected to be completed by
January 2002.
In the Transportation System Plan (TSP), the study area segment of TH 36 is designated a
management corridor. This means that the corridor will be managed to increase the safety and
TH 36 Corridor Management Plan

.
.
.
efficiency of the overall transportation system. Eligible types of improvements under the
management designation include hazard elimination and safety, ITS strategies, advantages for
transit, access management. and isolated interchange improvements. These types of improvement fit
very well with the improvement plan elements identified in this Corridor Management Plan.
Outside of IRC funding, other potential funding sources include the Management Allocation. the
Cooperative Agreement Program. and the Transportation Revolving Loan Fund (TRLF) through
MnlDOT along with TEA-21 funding and the Right-of-Way Acquisition Loan Fund (RALF) through
Metropolitan Council.
Sample Resolution
The TH 36 Corridor Management Plan is expected to obtain endorsements from all partners. An
example resolution will be sent to all participating agencies. A sample of this resolution is shown in

TH 36 Corridor Management Plan
1.0 Introduction/Report Purpose
The purpose of this TH 36 Corridor Management Plan is to document
the study process and key outcomes of the combined TH 36
SubarealInterregional Corridor (IRC) Study.
Key elements of the 'study process include the identification of a study
area purpose and need and a corridor vision based on study participant
input and relevant factors that led to the identification of a
recommended TH 36 improvement alternatives.
This study provides a blueprint/vision for responsible agencies to
utilize in addressing safety and mobility needs of the study area over
time. It is only through the commitment of all responsible agencies
that the recommendations of this study can be realized.
2.0
Background
TH 36 is a principal arterial roadway facility that provides an essential
connection between the Twin Cities ~etropolitan Area and the St.
Croix River Valley, including the City of Stillwater and Western
Wisconsin. The roadway serves adjacent communities of Oak Park
Heights, Stillwater Grant, Lake Elmo, Mahtomedi, Willernie, Pine
Springs, and OakdaIe. TH 36 carries a high volume of commuter
traffic, as well as recreational/tourist traffic destined for the St. Croix
Valley. The corridor also serves as a linkage for the movement of
goods and services between the Stillwater area and the remainder of
the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area.
2.1
TH 36 SubareaJIRC Study Evolution
Washington County initiated the TH 36 Subarea Study in the spring of
1999 based on MnlDOT's management investment strategy for the TH
36 Corridor and recognized roadway system deficiencies in the TH 36
travel shed through Washington County. Recognized deficiencies
included the lack of north-south roadway connectivity, the potential
Page 1
.
for additional signalization along TH 36, and concerns with east-west
roadway system capacity/traffic intensity.
The TH 36 Subarea Study area is bounded by TH 96 (Dellwood Road) .
to the north, TH 5 (Stillwater Boulevard) on the east, TH 5 (Stillwater
Boulevard) to the south, and 1-694 on the west.
The Interregional Corridor (IRe) designation for TH 36 occurred
during the TH 36 Subarea Study process. The TH 36 Subarea Study
process was amended to correlate with the TH 36 IRC Study.
The Statewide IRC Technical Reportl designates TH 36 as a Medium
Priority Interregional Corridor with a high risk of future signal
proliferation that is at risk for mobility degradation by the year 2020.
The technical report states the importance of TH 36 as a primary
connection to the Stillwater area trade center and as a major route
connecting with Wisconsin as the key rationale in designating this
facility as an medium priority interregional corridor.
MnlDOT identified an IRC work scope in correlation with the TH 36
Subarea Study. The TH 36 study area was then expanded beyond TH 5
(Stillwater Boulevard) on the east to include TH 36 from 1-694 to TH
95.
.
The original scope of the TH 36 Subarea Study was found to be very
compatible with the intent of the IRC guidance2 making it straight
forward to merge the Subarea and the IRC guidance into a single scope
of work. The resulting TH 36 study scope compares closely with the
mid-level planning effort identified in the IRC Guide for Plan
Development assuming the entire study area segment of TH 36 is a
risk/growth area.
A key graphic used during the course of the study that shows the
TH 36 study area is shown in Figure 3.

3.0 Study Participation
3.1 Study Committees
Two committees were formed to assist in the TH 36 study process and
to serve as a conduit for public outreach.
The TH 36 Technical Evaluation Committee (TEe) is a working
committee composed of engineers, planners, city clerks, and
administrators from Mn/DOT, Washington County, cities and
townships, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, and the
Metropolitan Council. The TEC has met monthly to identify issues,
review information, and develop and evaluate alternatives to address
future roadway needs.
::
The second committee is the TH 36 Advisory Committee. The
members of this committee are policymakers, businesses, and residents
from affected and neighboring communities along the TH 36 Corridor
(school districts, metropolitan and state agencies, and the Federal
Highway Administration). The Advisory Committee functions
remotely and operates largely from correspondence and common
sources of information and data provided by the TEC. Members serve
as advisors to the local, regional, and state governing agencies.
.
3.2 Public Involvement
Two open houses were included as part of the study process. The first
open house was held on Wednesday, January 26, 2000. The open
house provided the public with an opportunity to provide comments
and learn about the study process, preliminary issues, draft traffic
forecasts, and access management guidelines/principles.
The second open house will be held near the conclusion of the study to
gain additional public input, present die alternatives, implementation
process, and next steps. This open house is currently planned for late
April 2001.
More detail on public outreach can be reviewed in Technical
Memorandum No.1.
3.3 Participant Identified Issues
A number of issues were identified by the TEe, the Advisory
Committee, and public input. These issues are documented in
Technical Memorandum No. 2 and consist of local/regional
transportation issues and land use/development related issues.
Identification of the issues resulted in an initial list of study goals that
are as follows:
.

.
· Document a future vision for TH 36, including preservation and
protection of future right-of-way.
· Identify access management strategies to implement future
improvements.
· Identify transportation system alternatives, traffic management
strategies, and a recommended plan to safely accommodate
forecasted traffic growth.
· Use TH 36 Corridor Management Plan recommendations to
provide support for implementing the official map process.
· Develop implementatIon strategies for the proposed
recommendations.
I
4.0 Planned Improvements/Studies
4.1 Planned Improvements
There are two planned improvement projects that are critical base
assumptions for conducting the TH 36 study. The fIrSt project is the
improvement of CSAH 15 (Manning Avenue) to a four-lane divided
facility between TH 96 (Dellwood Road) and TH 36. The
improvement of CSAH 15 (Manning Avenue) is planned to be done in
two phases, with the first phase improvement for the segment from
CSAH 12 (Stillwater Roadf7Sth Street N.) to TH 36. This fIrSt phase
improvement is currently in Washington County's Capital
Improvement Program (CIP), but is subject to funding availability.
The second project is the replacement of the existing St. Croix River
Crossing (SCRC). During the course of this study, the timing and
approval of the new SCRC has become less certain. In response to the
uncertainty over the future SCRC. plan, this study has been
supplemented to include an analysis scenario that assumes a new
SeRC is not built within the 20-year planning horizon.
4.2 IRC Partnership Study In Oak Park Heights
Recently, the portion of TH 36 in Oak Park Heights has received a
grant under the IRC Partnership Study Program. This study will be a
joint effort between MnlDOT, Washington County, Stillwater, and
Oak Park Heights to analyze in greater detail the local connections
onto TH 36. The study will consider local land uses (existing and
planned), safety, traffic flow patterns, and access issues. The study will
use the Hybrid '"A" and Hybrid "B" conceptual improvements as a
starting point and will evaluate the need for interchange and signalized
access treatments along TH 36 at these locations. The study is
expected to start in May 2001 and be concluded by April 2002.

5.0 Purpose and NeedNislon
5.1 Purpose and Need
HistoricallYt as growth has occurred in the TH 36 study area, traffic
volumes have increased along with congestion and safety concerns.
The existing and planned character of Grant and Lake Elmo includes
large lot low-density residential development with a minimal roadway
network. This has resulted in a minimum number of continuous
roadways and new roadways characterized by subdivision streets with
a cul-de-sac at one end. It is expected that this trend will continue to
support the rural nature of these communities in the future.
. ,
The existing and planned character of Stillwater and Oak Park Heights
along TH 36 includes higher density mixed commercial and residential
development. Although obstructions existt efforts have been made to
improve local roadway system continuity.
The remaining study area communities of Oakdalet Pine Springst
Mahtomedi, and Willernie are nearly fully developed and depend on
TH 36 as a major element for access and mobility.
.
Washington County and MnlDOT have recognized the need to
improve north-south roadway continuity and east-west capacity
through the study area for some time. Many of these opportunities
have been prevented by land use development patterns.
The above characteristics have resulted in a limited number of arterial
roadway facilities serving multiple functions including the
accommodation of through trips and direct property access.
The above issues have contributed tp the existing TH 36 facility
characterized as a principal arterial four-lane divided expressway type
facility that includes direct property accesst frequent intersections with
public roadways, and increasing signalization of high volume cross
streets. There are currently five signalized intersections along the
corridor with a sixth signal previously considered for installation at
CR 17 (Lake Elmo Avenue). This intersection is now being considered
for * access in conformance with the improvement plan vision of this
study.
The intent of the TH 36 Corridor Management Plan is to ensure that a
unified vision is identified for the TH 36 study area that can optimize
the utility of the transportation system with minimal new support
roadways. The TH 36 Corridor Management Plan will also ensure that
TH 36 can attain its intended function as a principal arterial facility
that attains performance targets and operates in a safe and efficient
.
TH 36 Corridor Management Plan

.
manner and that corridor improvements can be implemented over time
as needs continue to arise.
.
5.2 Corridor Vision
The above purpose and need was used to develop a corridor vision in
conformance with IRC guidance.
~.
TH 36 provides an essential connection within the Twin Cities seven
county metropolitan area. TH 36 from 1-694 to TH 95 is a medium
priority interregional corridor, 8.5 miles long, and is located entirely
within the metropolitan area. The rationale for the designation of
TH 36 as a medium priority interregional corridor include its
connection with the Stillwater area and its service as one of the major
routes connecting with western Wisconsin. TH 36 also serves the
adjacent communities of Stillwater, Oak Park Heights, Grant, Lake
Elmo, Mahtomedi, Willemie, Pine Springs, and Oakdale. This facility
carries high volumes of commuter traffic and recreational/tourist
traffic. Traffic volumes are expected to increase due to the level of
continued growth in Stillwater and Oak Park Heights, which serve as
the commercial activity center for the St. Croix Valley, and continued
growth in Western Wisconsin.
.
The TEC has established a vision for TH 36 as a corridor that attains
IRC performance goals and provides safe, efficient travel between 1-
694 and TH 95 in Stillwater. The corridor currently operates in the
range of 45 to 48 mph during the peak periods, well below the 55 mph
average peak hour IRC operating speed performance goal. The vision
will be achieved by minimizing the need for additional signals and
implementing appropriate access control strategies through allowing or
discouraging capital investments along the corridor. Investments
should be staged according to demands .on the corridor.
6.0
Relevant Factors
There are a number of relevant factors identified as part of the study
process that must be taken into account in the consideration of
transportation improvements in the study area.
6.1
TH 36 Corridor Related
A number of relevant factors have been identified that are the basis for
development of the TH 36 Corridor improvement concepts. These
relevant factors have been organized into the seven categories listed
and defined below:
.
1. IRC Performance Evaluation
2. Access Evaluation
3. Forecast Traffic Volumes/Operational Analysis
TH 36 Corridor Management Plan
Minnesota Department of Transportation
Page 7
~
.
4. Observed Operational and Geometric Deficiencies
5. Safety
6. Land Use Development Patterns
7. Transit Planning
These factors are fully documented in Technical Memorandums No.4,
5, 6, and 7B. A key exhibit was used during the study process that
illustrates many of these relevant factors and other corridor issues and
constraints on large scale aerial and parcel base mapping. Information
from this exhibit is summarized graphically in Figures 4A and 4B.
6.2 Subarea System Analysis
The TH 36 Corridor Improvement Plan impacts the subarea. The level
of improvement on TH 36 has implications on the magnitude of east-
west through traffic that can be accommodated on TH 36 and the
.. magnitude of east-west through traffic that may orient on parallel
routes such as CSAH 12 (Stillwater Road/75th Street N), TH 5, and
CSAH 14 (40th Street N). The location of access points on TH 36 will
also have implications on the level of traffic that will be oriented on
north-south facilities and, to a lesser degree, east-west routes. See
Technical Memorandum No.4, Traffic Forecasting.
The subarea study looked at a number of issues and the key fmdings
include:
.
. The improvement ofCSAH 15 (Manning Avenue) between TH 96
and TH 36 to a four-lane divided roadway with turn lanes increases
the road capacity, which helps to reduce traffic volumes on
CSAH 17 (Lake Elmo Avenue) between CSAH 12 and TH 36 and
on CSAH 36 (Hilton Trail). Washington County has CSAH 15
reconstruction from a two-lane to a four-lane facility from just
north of CSAH 12 to TH 36 in their current Capital Improvement
Program subject to funding availability.
. The connection of CSAH 9 (Jamaca Avenue) between CSAH 12
and TH 36 was found not to be a cost-effective project. It has been
a candidate for improvement based on Washington County's
Comprehensive Transportation Plan for many years. The analysis
showed that the cost of the improvement would be too high based
on the amount of traffic it would attract. The traffic forecasts also
showed that based on the currently forecast level of development
in the area, the existing road system could accommodate the
forecast traffic with some improvements.

. CSAH 36 is functioning as more than a collector road (its current
functional classification). It is functioning as a minor arterial.
Collector roadways are designed to serve shorter trips. They collect
and distribute traffic from neighborhoods and commercial and
industrial areas to the arterial system. They emphasize equally
mobility and access. Minor arterial roadways connect important
locations within Washington County with access points on the
Metropolitan Highway System and with other important locations
within the County. The emphasis on minor arterials is mobility.
CSAH 36 does connect downtown MahtomedilWillernie with
TH 36. CSAH 36 also connects with CSAH 12, which provides
connections from other locations north and east of CSAH 36 to
TH 36. The emphasis of CSAH 36 is more on mobility than access,
but it does have a number of access points on it. Washington
County plans to change the functional classification of CSAH 36 to
a minor arterial.
,
. The realIgnment of the TH 5/Manning Avenue intersection in Lake
Elmo to make Manning Avenue and TH 5 to the northeast the
through movement was not found to redistribute enough traffic
away from downtown Lake Elmo to make a significant difference.
The City of Lake Elmo completed an origin-destination study in
2000 that helped validate these results.
Technical Memorandum 7B, Subarea System Alternatives, discusses
these issues in more detail.
6.3
Recreational and Environmental Assets
Existing and proposed recreational and environmental assets in the
TH 36 study area were inventoried as a major relevant factor category.
This information will be used to identify, opportunities for recreational
and environmental improvements associated with improvement
alternatives on TH 36. Figure 5 illustrates the existing and proposed
assets in the TH 36 Subarea.
These assets are fully described in Technical Memorandum No.9. The
TH 36 Subarea contains numerous recreational and environmental
assets including parks and open space, trails, scenic areas, lakes,
rivers, wetlands, and historical sites. These assets are summarized
below.

7.0 Alternatives Development
7.1 Key Assumptions
Development of preliminary TH 36 mainline alternatives has been
based on the review of relevant factors and input from the public, the
TEC and the Advisory Committee. Performance evaluations of
baseline no improvement conditions indicate the study corridor does
not meet IRC performance criteria (described in more detail in Section
7.0). This has been a key factor in developing an initial range of
alternatives.
.
An analysis scenario that assumes the SCRC is not built within the 20-
year planning horizon was added late in the study process. This report
presents the improvement scenarios assuming the new SCRC is built
first followed by a discussion of the implications of the No-Build
SCRC scenario.
Existing and planned land use development patterns in adjacent
communities has also been a key factor in identifying full access
locations under each of the alternatives. The alternatives attempt to
minimize TH 36 access related impacts through the low growth
communities of Grant and Lake Elmo, while providing a higher level
of access through Mahtomedi, Oak Park Heights, and Stillwater.
Key support roadways were anticipated for each of the alternatives.
The timing and extent of some support roadway construction will be
dependent on a number of factors including land use development
patterns, physical constraints, and local support. The characteristics of
each alternative are fully described in Technical Memorandum No. 7B
(the Hybrid Alternatives are shown graphically in the Appendices A
and B).
.
The identification of alternatives process is fully documented in
Technical Memorandum No. 7B. Key elements of this memorandum
are repeated below. TH 36 mainline improvements and subarea system
improvements are addressed separately.
TH 36 Corridor Management Plan

.
7.2 Concept Development Approach
The TH 36 Corridor improvement alternatives have been developed as
representative conceptual sketches on an aerial base map to provide
the following:
." "
· An indication of relative social, economic, and environmental
impacts.
· An indication of likely support roadway improvement n~s.
· An understanding of TH 36 accessibility for adjacent communities.
· A basis to evaluate TH 36 performance characteristics.
· An understanding of potential safety/operating issues.
Representative concepts were developed using 1997 aerial base
mapping supplemented by each study area communities
Comprehensive Plan information, a field inventory of recent land use
development, new roadways, other sensitive features (e.g. parks, new
trails), and an inventory of existing and proposed recreational and
environmental assets.
.
As the TH 36 study evolved, it became apparent that improvement
alternatives would be limited to access controVmtersection capacity
improvements on the existing TH 36 alignment. A number of support
roadway connection improvements are proposed in conjunction with
access control improvements.
7.3
Levels of Improvement
As the alternatives development and performance evaluation evolved,
three levels of improvement were studied including an Expressway
Alternative, a Hybrid Alternative, and a Freeway Alternative. Through
development and assessment of preliminary improvement concepts, it
became apparent that a maximum of two signalized intersections along
TH 36 would be necessary to meet IRC performance goals. These
alternatives are characterized as follows.
Expressway Alternative: This alternative is characterized by minimal
operational and safety improvements that are low cost and low impact
(primarily within the existing right-of-way). These improvements
include access control and movement restriction improvements at
unsignalized intersections.
.'
Hybrid Alternative: The Hybrid Alternative has evolved during this
study based on input from the TEC and iterative performance
evaluations of various treatments along the corridor. This alternative is
characterized by controlled access including interchanges at Hilton
Trail and Manning Avenue, overpasses at DeMontreville Trail and
Lake Elmo Avenue, and OakgreenlGreeley, maintaining signalized
TH 36 Corridor Management Plan

.
..
control at NorellWashington and Osgood, right-in/right out access at
Keats Avenue and reorientation of all existing direct property access.
Freeway Alternative: This alternative is a fully access -controlled
facility with interchange access at selected crossing roadways.
.
A primary goal of the development of improvement alternatives has
been to ensure that the various improvement scenarios are compatible
such that the TH 36 Conidor could efficiently evolve with little or no
wasted infrastructure from expressway through hybrid to freeway. The
freeway scenario is unlikely unless the TH 36 IRC classification and
associated performance goals were to change.
~
8.0 Assessment of Alternatives
The IRC performance guidelines, operational analysis, and MnlDOT's
access guidelines provide the most quantitative/technical basis for
assessing the alternatives. The remaining relevant factors (land use
development patterns, observed operating and geometric deficiencies,
and crash analysis) are less quantitative at this level of study, but no
less important in the assessment of alternatives.
.
The IRe performance criteria are based upon a 55 mph average speed
over an average one-hour trip. The TEC decided to use the 55 mph
criteria for the study segment of TH 36 even though the average trip
length is less than the one-hour guideline.
A detailed description of performance analysis methodology is
included in Technical Memorandum No. 7B. Currently, the conidor is
performing below target (45 to 48 mph during the peak periods). It is
anticipated that future performance (year 2020) will be well below
target (in the range of 35 to 42 mph d~ng the peak periods) if no
improvements are made and a signal is installed at Lake Elmo Avenue
(CSAH 17).
The land use development factor is the same under the three
alternatives, and therefore, it is addressed here before discussion of
each individual alternative. Generally, all three alternatives support
each community's existing and proposed land use development
patterns, Each alternative limits access through Grant and Lake Elmo,
which supports these communities limited growth policies. Pine
Springs, Mahtomedi, Oak Park Heights, and Stillwater have higher
density development patterns (existing and proposed) that correlates
with the level of access proposed through these communities.
.
.
8.1 Assessment with the New SCRC Being Built
The findings of the comparative assessment summary are presented
below with respect to the key mc performance criteria. IRC

performance results are summarize in Table 1 and discussed briefly
below.
Expressway Alternative: Does not meet the 55 mph peak hour IRC
performance guidelines. Essentially, the Expressway Alternative has
mainline operational benefits of limiting some full access locations to
right-inIright-out movements. However, this alternative assumes the
addition of a signalized intersection at CSAH 17 (Lake Elmo Avenue).
The impact of the additional signal is illustrated in Table 1 by the 26 to
28 percent increases in the number of stops along the corridor during
the peak hours over the 2020 No-Build Alternative. This intersection is
now being considered for * access in conformance with the
improvement plan vision for this Corridor Management Plan.
Hybrid Alternative: Represents the level of improvement that would
be needed to attain IRC performance levels. Table 1 shows that the
number of stops decreases by 65 percent and 67 percent from the 2020
No-Build Alternative. Limiting the corridor to two signals in this
alternative increases the mainline average speed to attain the IRC
performance target and decreases the number of stops.
Freeway Alternative: Exceeds the IRC performance guidelines. The
Freeway Alternative eliminates all direct access to TH 36 and
represents the optimal performance alternative for TH 36 mainline
traffic operations,
Assessment without the New SCRC Being Built Analysis
Scenario
This scenario has been analyzed using the same tools/methodology as
the scenario that includes the new SCRC being built including
development of traffic volume forec~ts and performance analysis
methodology. The alternatives development process focused on the
preferred Hybrid Alternative given that this is the level of
improvement that meets IRC performance goals.
Several iterations of performance analysis indicate that the Hybrid
Alternative without the new SCRC being built (Hybrid "B") is similar
to the original Hybrid (Hybrid "A") with access consolidation,
overpasses at DeMontreville Trail and Lake Elmo Avenue and
interchanges at Hilton Trail and Manning Avenue. The performance
analysis indicates the difference is that the number of signals allowable
in the corridor increases from two to three.

This additional signal should be the existing signal at the
OakgreenlGreeley intersection given this intersection's location with
respect to the two other remaining signals in the corridor resulting in
the lowest impact on corridor performance. A signal at this location
would be coordinated with the other two signals and have less impact
on performance than an isolated signal on a higher speed segment of
the corridor.
The analysis results are summarized in Table 2.
: :
8.3 SCRC Scenario Volume Comparison
The overall traffic forecasts indicate the study area would experience
less traffic volume growth without the new SCRC being built. Year
2020 traffic forecasts indicate that a demand of 23,900 VPD would
desire to cross the existing lift bridge while 34,400 VPD would be
expected to cross the new SCRC. However, because of the location of
the existing lift bridge relative to TH 36 and the subarea roadway
network, several east-west routes would experience increases in traffic.
These routes include TH 96 and CR 12. Traffic volume forecast details
can be obtained from Technical Memorandum No.4.
9.0 Recommended Corridor Management Plan
The Hybrid Alternative is the selected alternative for the TH 36
Corridor Management Plan because it adequately meets the IRC
performance goals in addition to the other relevant factors previously
described.
As described earlier, the future of the SCRC has implications on the
study area traffic volumes and corridor performance characteristics.
For these reasons, Hybrids "An and "Bit have been identified that
correlate with the SCRC Build and N~Build scenarios.
Hybrid "An: Assumes the new SCRC is built. Characteristics include
interchanges at Hilton Trail and Manning Avenue! overpasses at
DeMontreville Trail, Lake Elmo Avenue and OakgreenlGreeley,
maintenance of two existing signals at Washingtonl Norel and Osgood
in Oak Park Heights and reorientation of all direct property access to
TH 36 via support roadways.
Hybrid "Bn: Assumes the new SCRC is not built. Major characteristics
are similar to Hybrid "An with the exception of the OakgreenlGreeley
crossing, The existing signal at this intersection would be maintained
resulting in three total signals in the study area.

10.0
Implementation/Shared Strategies
The purpose of this section is to document shared implementation
strategies for the hybrid alternative(s) along with an implementation
plan that lists potential individual project elements within the overall
plan.
The implementation plan does not address the potential for funding of
project elements. Therefore, the recommended timing of
improvements over a 20-year horizon has not been identified. Funding
strategies/cost participation issues will be addressed by the ongoing
Corridor Management Team.
Implementation and staging is fully documented in Technical
Memorandum No.8.
.
10.1 Implementation Plan
Commitment, participation, cooperation, and action by the Corridor
Management Team can ensure the successful implementation of the
TH 36 Corridor Management Plan over the 20-year design horizon. To
aid in achieving this goal, an implementation plan including shared
strategies has been structured.
The implementation plan elements are shown graphically in Figure 2
of the Executive Summary.
Shared strategies have been identified in correlation with improvement
plan elements. These elements are described below.
.
The shared strategies and implementation plan elements identified in
the Corridor Management Plan are based on the analysis of current
data and forecast information. Actual priority for implementation will
be affected by actual congestion, crash experience, right-of-way
acquisition, local support, physicall1nstitutional constraints, and
funding availability. Initial efforts of the Corridor Management Team
will focus on low cost/no cost strategies and elements followed by the
more substantia1/higher cost improvement plan elements as needs
arise.
.
10.2 Shared Strategies
1. Under the direction of MnlDOT, form a TH 36 Corridor
Management Team to ensure continual communications between
project partners and momentum in the pursuit and implementation
of TH 36 Corridor Management Plan projects.
TH 36 Corridor Management Plan
Minnesota Department of Transportation
Page 21
Jr
2. Officially map the corridor.
3. Incorporate the major concepts and strategies of the TH 36
Corridor Management Plan in updates of Comprehensive Plans at
the county and municipal levels.
4. Consider MnlDOT Access Management Guidelines for all study
area roadways at state, county, and local levels in review of acce.ss
to new developments or redeveiopments. (refer to Technical
Memorandums No.5 and No.6.
5. Do not allow any new direct access on to TH 36 (private property
or public streets).
6. Locate funding for implementation plan elements.
7. Conduct appropriate pre-design efforts/environmental
documentation to implement implementation plan elements.
8. Program, design, and construct implementation plan elements.
10.3 Strategy Responsibility
The shared and subarea access strategies have been distributed to each
of the participating agencies to clearly identify responsibilities and to
provide an indication of the level of commitment required for
successful implementation of the TH 36 Corridor Management Plan.

"~
2. Develop an agreement/design for a ~ access intersection operation
for the TH 36/ CSAH 17 (Lake Elmo Avenue) intersection.
3. Ensure that new development plans adjacent to TH 36 will include
supporting roadways that provide access to TH 36 via a public
street identified by TH 36 access under the Hybrid Alternative.
4. Extend frontage road north of TH 36 westerly across the Gateway
Trail to connect with CSAH 36 (Hilton Trail).
5. Close the Highlands Trail access to TH 36.
6. Close frontage road accesses north of TH 36 at Highlands Trail
east of the Gateway Trail crossing.
7. Limit CR 13 (DeMontreville Trail) full access to TH 36 to right-
inlright-out or ~ movements (no left out).
8. Construct supporting roadway segments adjacent to the south side
of TH 36 to consolidate existing property access to TH 36. One
roadway should either extend westerly from Keats Avenue or
include a ~ movement consolidated access near the Lauseng Stone
commercial property. The second roadway should consolidate
existing driveway access on the south side of TH 36 compatible
with the construction of a supporting roadway between the
CSAH 17 (Lake Elmo Avenue) overpass and CSAH 15 (Manning
J\venue) interchange.
9. Reconstruct frontage road connections north of TH 36 with
CSAH 15 (Manning Avenue) to provide better separation with the
signalized intersection.
10, Maintain signalized full access intersections at NorellWashington
Avenue and CSAH 24 (Osgood Avenue) and possibly
OakgreenlGreeley dependent on the ~CRC scenario.
11. Construct interchange at CSAH 36 (Hilton Trail).
12. Construct CR 13 (DeMontreville Trail) grade separation in
conjunction with CSAH 36 (Hilton Trail) interchange
improvement.
13. Close Viking Drive access to TH 36. Reorient access via CSAH 36
(Hilton Trail) interchange (if feasible).
14. Construct improvements through Oak Park Heights (based on IRC
Partnership Study results).
15. Construct interchange at CSAH 15 (Manning Avenue).
16. Construct grade separation at CSAH 17 (Lake Elmo Avenue).
17. Limit Keats Avenue full access to TH 36 to right-inlright-out or ~
movements (no left out). This should not occur until item 16 is in
place.

18. Construct grade separation at CSAH 17 (Lake Elmo Avenue).
19. Limit Keats Avenue full access to TH 36 to right-inIright-out or *
movements (no left out).
20. Continue to build support roadways in conjunction with land
development and to support the interchange at CSAH 15 (Manning
Avenue), as well as the grade separation at CSAH 17 (Lake Elmo
Avenue).
21. Recently the portion ofTH 36 in Oak Park Heights has received a
grant under the IRC Partnership Study Program. This study will be
a Joint effort between MnlDOT, Washington County, Stillwater,
and Oak Park Heights to analyze in greater detail the local
connections onto TH 36. 'J'he study will consider local land. uses
(existing and planned), safety, traffic flow patterns, and access
issues. The study will use the Hybrid "A" and Hybrid liB"
conceptual improvements as a starting point and will evaluate the
need for interchange and signalized access treatments along TH 36
at these locations. The study is expected to start in April 2001 and
be concluded by April 2002.
10.5 Subarea Issues
As the improvement concepts evolved, it became apparent that
emphasis should be placed on two areas for subarea roadways:
1. Consideration of MnlDOT Access Management Guidelines by all
responsible agencies. Access Management Guidelines should be
considered for all new land development/redevelopment and in all
roadway construction/reconstruction projects in the subarea.
2. Consider reclassifications of access categories for subarea system
roadways that will change function with implementation of the
preferred TH 36 Corridor Management Plan.
11.0 Funding Sources/Categories
The designation of TH 36 as a medium priority interregional corridor
corridor may have implications on potential IRC funding. MnlDOT is
currently undertaking studies to develop Corridor Management Plans
for six high priority interregional corridors. These studies are expected
to be completed by January 2002,
In the Transportation System Plan (TSP), the study area segment of
TH 36 is designated a management corridor. This means that the
corridor will be managed to increase the safety and efficiency of the
overall transportation system. Eligible types of improvements under
the management designation include hazard elimination and safety,
ITS strategies, advantages for transit, access management, and isolated
interchange improvements. These types of improvement fit very well
TH 36 Corridor Management Plan
Minnesota Department of Transportation
Page 24
.
.
.
with the improvement plan elements identified in this Corridor
Management Plan.
Outside of IRC funding, other potential funding sources include
Management Allocation, the Cooperative Agreement Program, and the
Transportation Revolving Loan Fund (TRLF) through MnlDOT along
with TEA-21 funding and the Right-of-Way Acquisition Loan Fund
(RALF) through Metropolitan Council.
12.0 Sample Resolution
The TH 36 Corridor Management Plan is expected to obtain
endorsements from all partners. An example resolution will be sent to
all participating agencies. A sample of this resolution from MnlDOT's
IRC guidance is shown in Appendix C.

RE: July 17. 2001 City Council Meetini
Adoption of Planning Commission's
Trunk Highway 36 Corridor Management Resolution
Dear Council Members:
I urge you to adopt the Stillwater Planning Commission's Trunk Highway 36 Corridor Management Resolution, a cOPJ
of which is attached here.
There is broad consensus on the South Hill, including the residents of South 3rd Street and South. 4th Street, as well al
LakeVlew Hospital and St. Mike's Church, that closing the Greeley access to Highway 36 would be a huge mIstake for J
number of reasons and that the City Council needs to commit to that in a Resolution.
The Stillwater Planning Commission agreed to adopt the attached Resolution after receiving a Petition, a copy ofwhicl
is attached (l am missing one page of additional signatures which the Planning Commission has and I will try to get tha
to you If you don't have it already). In addition, the Planning Commission received letters and phone calls and a large groUJ
of residents attended the June 11, 2001 Planning Commission Hearing on the matter, when MN DOT made a presentation
~ve received many phone calls myself from folks unable to show up at the meetings and who probably didn't write;
.r.
For your further information. I am also enclosing:
I) My Mav 4 Letter to the Citr Council;
2) My ~ 15 Open Letter;
3) A JWle 28, 2001 Opinion published in Tbe Courier News regarding the June 11, 2001 Planning Commission Hearing
and
4) 2 Pioneer Press Articles regarding Highway 36.
I believe the Planning Commission has considered the public sentiment and has included it in the Resolution. By keepinl
Highway 36 at a lower speed from 5 to the river with a parkway, we can keep Greeley open to 36,
Therefore I urge you all to vote to make the right choice and adopt the Planning Commission's IDghway 3c
Resolution at the July 1'" City CouDcD Meeting.

RE: MN DOT Highway 36 Proposal
Impact on Safety of School Children and Other Pedestrians
on South Fourth Street and South Third Street
Dear City Council:
I am very alarmed by a Minnesota Department of Transportation proposal to funnel most of the
Stillwater area traffic down my street. I ask the City COUlleil to reject the proposal and ask that
be altered.
The plan is to limit access to HWY 36 in the Stillwater area by blocking off all access from S to the
rivert with 2 exceptions: Washington Avenue and Osgood. This means that the traffic which
currently exits at Greeley will have to enter the City of Stillwater elsewhere, and I am afraid it is
going to be Osgood since Washington doesn't lead to the center of the City of Stillwater.
The sole mission ofMN DOT as far as I can tell, is to increase the driving speeds on HWY 36 to 55
mph, without regard to the consequences of surrounding areas, and Stillwater in particular.
Osgood/South Fourth Street should not be chosen as one oftbe only two city streets as access points
to Stillwater because:
I) it is not a through street;

2) it leads traffic through a historic, residential neighborhood;
3) since 4th is not a through street, drivers have to cut over to 3rd street so the increased
traffic ruins 2 streets, not just one;
.
4) there are 3 elementary schools (Oak Park Elementary, St. Croix Catholic School, Salem
Lutheran Elementary) and ajunior high school (Stillwater Junior High School) on or 1 block
away from the affected streets;
5) both streets are already quite busy and dangerous for children and other pedestrians - I
know of2 school children who have been hit walking to school.
There are additional reasons, including the Cub Headquarters employees' safety crossing to their
parking lot across Third Street, and churchgoers crossing Third StTeetto get to St. Michael's Catholic
Church, already dangerous situations.
The plan cuts off access to Greeley Street whicl1 is now a more maior collector street than
OSiOodlSouth Fourth/South Third Street. even thou2h:
1) Greeley is mostly a commercial street;
2) Greeley is the main collector street going in the north-south direction;
3) Greeley is a through street which goes to the other main collector street going in the .
east-west direction (Myrtle Street);
4) Greeley does not have schools on or near the street;
5) Greeley does not have the same quantity of historic homes as does South 4th and
South 3rdj
6) Leaving access at Greeley affects only one street and not two;
7) Greeley brings drivers to the center of the City of Stillwater.
If the plan goes through as it stands now, the increased traffic will create a more dangerous situation
on these streets for the area school children and other pedestrians than already exists. There will
probably be a need for traffic lights as well. I think the end result is to ruin the neighborhood. drive
people like me out and maybe all of our homes will eventually end up as commercial entities since
the increased traffic will probably make the neighborhood uninhabitable.
The state and county officials informed me that Stillwater has not been adequately represented
at the planning meetings. The state DOT told me the choice of closing access to Greeley and

funneling the trame down Osgood/South Fourth/South Third Streets was worked out between
the City of Oak Park Heights and MN DOT. The City of Stillwater was not involved in that
decision.
But there is still time to change tbe plan, and the time is now. SOlDe time in the next month of
10, MN DOT and Washington County are going to ask you, the Stillwater City Council, to
adopt a resolution to support this plan.
The City of Stillwater should be working to make South Fourth and South Third Streets more safe
for children walking to school and for those of my neighbors and other pedestrians walking in these
areas, Dot less safe.
I ask the City Council to support me and my family in preserving the neighborhood and
preventing this plan from becoming rmal in this form.

RE: MN DOT Highway 36 Proposal
bnpact on Safety of School Children and Other Pedestrians
And on our South Hill Neighborhood
Open Letter to Stillwater Residents, Stillwater City Council, Local School Officials and State Legislators:
I am alarmed by a Minnesota Department of Transportation and Washington County proposal to burden the
South Hill streets of South 4th and South 3rdwith most of the Stillwater area traffic. Stillwater residents, the
Stillwater City Council and St.af( local school officials, and Sen. Bachman and Rep. Holsten should be very
concemed about this proposal and act to change it before it becomes final.
I pray that we are not lulled into complacency by the County's statement in an Aprll 2S Pioneer Press article .
that this will take 20 or 30 years. At an Open House, I was mOImed by the County the reason for that
statement was that funds for the project are not yet secured. Stop and think about that - all it would take is
one legislative session and the DOT has the Cfgreen lighf' to permanently destroy our neighborhood.
MN DOT and Washington County plan to close access to HWY 36 from CTY 5 to the river, with 2
exceptions: Washington Avenue and Osgood. Traffic which now exits at those streets, including busy
Greeley Street, will be forced to go down Osgood, which becomes South 4th Street, since Washington
doesn't lead to the center of the City.
The sole mission ofMN DOT is to increase the driving speeds on HWY 36 to 5S mph, without regard to
the consequences of surrounding areas, and Stillwater in particular.
I have to question the basic premise that we have to go SS mph on this stretch of 36. It makes no sense to
me that a road traveling through the middle of two cities must be a 5S mph roadway. Our high school kids
have to make their way across 36 to get to school. Why make it more hazardous for them than it already
is? And even if the bridge over the St. Croix River is built, drivers will have to slow down to round the
curve to get to the new bridge (outlined as "Option cn in various news reports). Highway 36 in the
Stillwater area should be a divided parkway with a speed limit of 45. Let's not create such a barrier for
residents of the two cities to travel between the cities to schools, businesses and for other reasons.
Landscaping should be done, similar to the Highway 3S parkway in St. Paul.

Equally, or more importantly, Osgood/South 4th Street should not be chosen as one of the only two City
streets as access points to Stillwater in lieu of Greeley Street because:
. 1) it leads through a historic, residential neighborhood and is at the end of town, not the middle;
2) it is not a through street;
3) since 4th is not a through street, drivers cut over to 3rd street so the increased
traffic ruins 2 streets, not just one;
4) there are 3 elementary schools, (Oak Park Elementary, St. Croix Catholic School, Salem
Lutheran Elementary) and ajtmior high school (Stillwater Junior High School) on or 1 block away
from the affected streets;
5) both streets are already too busy and are dangerous for children and other pedestrians - I have heard
of at least 2 school children who have been hit walking to school.
MN DOT's plan cuts off access to Greeley Street which is a more major collector street than Osgood/South
4th/South 3rd Streets, even though:
.
1) Greeley is mostly a commercial street;
2) Greeley is the main north-south collector street
3) Greeley is a through street to the main east-west collector street (Myrtle Street);
4) Greeley does not have schools on or near the street;
5) Greeley has modem commercial development and does not have the same quantity of historic
homes as does South 4th. and South 3rd;
6) Leaving access at Greeley affects only one street and not two;
7) Greeley and cuts right through the middle of town and brings drivers to the center of the City
of Stillwater.
8) The Lakeview Hospital should continue to have the close access to Highway 36 for
emergencies coming to the Hospital and ambulences transporting patients to Twin Cites
hospitals.
To datet we Stillwater residents have no say in this plan; instead the City of Oak Park Heights worked out
the acCess points with Washington County and MN DOT, in particular, the closing off access to Greeley
Street. At the Open House at the Government Center I learned tha~ in the first pl8I4 Greeley was chosen
as an access street to 36 instead of Osgood. This is logicalt common sense. My impression is that the City
of Oak Park Heights was able to change this couunon sense plan for its own new commercial development
plans. Our Stillwater children, Out homes, and our neighborhoods have been given no consideration
whatsoever.
If:MN DOT's plan goes through as it now standst the increased traffic will create a more dangerous
situation on these streets for Out school children and other pedestrians. The end result is to ruin the
neighborhood for all of us.
But there is still time to change the plan, and the time is now, Some time in the next month or so, MN DOT
and Washington County are going to ask the Stillwater City Council, to adopt a resolution to support this
plan.
Our City and State officials, local school officials and Stillwater residents must consider the real effect of

the current proposal. Alternatives, including a parkway concept, leaving Osgood access only at the South.
and different access points should be reviewed. Our City and State officials and local school officials
should be working to make South 4th and South 3rd Streets more safe for children walking to school, and.
need to strongly object to plans which make them less safe.
I am sincerely hoping that the Stillwater City Council will provide my neighborhood with representation
on the City COlUlCil; our Council Member, Terry Zoller, can't vote for us on any MN DOT issues since he
works for MN DOT and has a conflict of interest. Either he will have to resign and be replaced or the City
will have to find another solution to the fact that Ward 1 has no Council Member on the Highway 36 issue
(or the bridge). This has to be corrected!
Our neighborhood is a real, old-fashioned neighborhood. Just the kind that the new developers are trying
so hard to recreate. I hope that 5, 10 or 20 years from now we aren't wondering why we didn't care enough
to take the time to write a few letters and make a few phone calls, I hope we aren't wondering why we let
this happen. Now is the time to state your objection.

MINNESOTA 26: 2020 AND
BEYONDIISTUDY RESULTS ON
MINNESOTA 36 AND WHAT IT MIGHT
LOOK LIKE IN 20 YEARS ARE EXPECTED
TO BE RELEASED SOON.

Column: SPOTLIGHT WASHINGTON COUNTY
Drivers on Mmnesota 36 to Washmgton COWlty may eventually only hIt two
stophghts where county roads intersect the highway Overpasses could be
bwIt that funnel traffic over the busy crossmgs
.
For the past few years. transportation offiCials have been studymg Minnesota
36 and the area around the highway and determmmg wbat it will look like m
2020 and beyond, Results from the "Trunk Highway 36 Subarea Study,"
wblch generally covers the area bordered by Minnesota 96 on the north,
Minnesota 5 on the south, Interstate 694 on the west and Minnesota 95 on the
east, are expected next month.
"The Idea is to look at the entire highway," says Sandy Cullen,
transportation manager for Washmgton County
The seven-mile stretch ofbighway between Interstate 694 and Mmnesota 95
was deSignated an ,. mterregional comdor" m 1999 The corridor currently
operates at speeds of 45 to 48 mph dunng the peak penods, below the 55
mph average peak hour operatmg speed criteria for LRCs
In order to let traffic pass at that 55 mph average speed, only two traffic
SIgnalS WI 11 eventually remam along the stretch The proposed stoplights
being conSidered are at Osgood Avenue and Washington AvenuelNorel1
Avenue In Stdlwater and Oak Park Heights, Cullen said,
Under the long-term plan, stoplights at Oakgreen Avenue/Greeley Street.
Manning TraIl and Hilton TraJl would be removed
.
Direct access to Minnesota. 36 at Viking Dnve, HIghlands TI'8.1I North and
DemontrevllJe Trail North would be closed and drivers would connect to the
highway by a frontage road to a new interchange at Hilton Trail.

Keats Avenue would become a nght-m, TIght-out intersectIon. Washington
County 11 (Lake Elmo Avenue) would no longer have access to the highway
Manning A venue would have acce~s to the highway from the north only. the
south would not connect to Mmnesota 36 Minnesota 5 would stay as an
mterchange Wlth full access Oak green/Greeley would connect either over or
under Mmnesota 36 Wlth no dIrect access
.
, All the other pnvate accesses to (Minnesota) 36 would be funneled to one
of those cross streets by fronrage roads, so there WIlt be no direct pnvate
access to (Minnesota) 36." she saId . 'It's much safer if you don't have pnvate
vehIcles commg in and off at uncontrolled areas There's always a way to get
there. but it might take you a little longer"
Minnesota Transportanon Department off1claIs say the study JS only the fust
step, "First, we have to come up wIth a long-range plan before we can do
project development," said the transportanon department's Todd Clarkowski
, 'Once we come up WIth the viSIon, then we'll try to find the fundmg to
Implement each one of these pIeces, ,.
Although the future of the new St Croix River bridge project IS still unclear,
RJck Amebeck. dIVISIon area manager for the transportation department. saId
the subarea study's recommendatiOns wouldn't change. 'EverythIng In there
is based on there being a new Stillwater bndge (but) whether there's a
bndge or not, Itls gomg to be a hlgh"traffic comdor." he said
Because the study's final recommendations could take years to lmplement.
the transportatJon department IS considering a few mOre ImmedJate changes
such as installing a three-quarteT-acce~s mtersectlOn at Washmgton County
17 and Mmnesota 36 In Lake Elmo If funding allow~. Through traffic would
be banned and only nght-in. nght-out turns would be allowed
.
, 'When you have four legs of approach, you have 32 conflict points where
people can crash," Cullen said. "When you have a three-quarter intersection,
that number goes down to 10."
RICk Vanzwol, a City CounCil member In Grant and a member of the
techmcal advisory commntee, saId the ciUes of Grant and Lake Elmo do not
want any more traffic traveling through their communztIes
'For Grant. the proposed changes can be nothing but good because It Teduces
the traffic in the rest of Grant as we have put forward in comprehenSIve plan,"
Vanzwol S8ld.
But Steve Delapp, Lake Elmo City CounCil member, SaId Lake Elmo is not
prepared to sign off on the current plan He said the city would have preferred
that the city's Ideas were Incorporated mto the current proposals and is
organ1ZJng a meetIng with other cltJes in [he study area to see if a deSign
consensus can be reached

.. Highway 36 goes through both c;ldes of Lake Elmo, and our CIty is hurt by
any proposal that would encourage more traffic at hIgher speeds and reduce
access for our re~idents." DeLapp saId . '(MnDOT's) goal IS to get people
from StIllwater to offlces In MInneapolIs and St. Paul and tor us (in Lake
Elmo) not to get north II
He said the city IS encouragmg transportatIon officIals to consider a diVIded
parkway Wtth a maKlmum speed of 45 mph. 'There would be less nOise
pollutIOn and air pollutIon," he said "If It looks pretty, people might not even
mind spendIng a few mOTe mmutes on the roadway"
Tom Melena., city admInistrator In Oak Park Heights, saId the cn)'
understands that It WIll lose some ofns access to Mmnesota 36, but he
pnused the study for" allowing US to do our city plannmg and development
around those two Interchanges Instead of haVIng everything on bold untIl
2020 ,.
" It's awfully hard to go back In and after the fact, acquire the properties and
get the necessary nght of ways." Melena saId "If nothmg else. we can do
official mappmg so that as the land develops people Will know there's going
to be a road there"
Eventually, Mmnesota 36 WlII reach traffic levels SImilar to Interstate 94, he
said,
.
"Imagine If you were to take and put traffic hghts on 1-94 though Woodbury
mstead of the interchanges - that's what we're lookIng at for the next 10 to 15
yeaTS," he saJd "It seems we need to start looktng at the future"

Trunk Highway 36 Corridor Management Resolution
. Whereas, Trunk Highway 36 provides the major roadway access for Stillwater residents travelmg to
and from the Twm CIties and for region vIsitors traveling to the Stillwater area; and
Whereas, the continued growth areas along the TH 36 corridor If unmanaged can adversely effect
the performances, safety and congestion experienced by highway users, and
.....
Whereas, the City of StIllwater IS located dIrectly north of the corridor and is effected by traffic
usmg the highway; and
Whereas, It is critical that a long term vIsion for the future ofTH 36 be developed that balances
regIOnal and local access needs and mamtams the quality of neighborhood m existing areas adjacent the
corridor
Whereas, It IS crItical for the CIty of StIllwater to actiVely partIcIpate in the planmng for the vIsIon
of the corridor and particularly Its impact on the CIty of StIllwater
Whereas, many questions have been raised regardmg the specIfic effects of the TH 36 corridor plan
on local residents that have not been adequately studied and addressed, and
Whereas, a IRC partnershIp plannmg study is currently being developed and will provide additional
design detaIl and impact analysis for the TH 36 corridor from Country Road 5 to Trunk HIghway 95
.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOL YED, that the City of StIllwater does not support closure of
any mtersectlon from Trunk HIghway 5 to Trunk HIghway 95 and conSIderatIon of a reduced speed parkway
deSIgn for the IRC planning area.
FURTHER, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOL YED, that the CIty of Stillwater supports sound, long
range transportation planning that balances regional needs WIth local needs and impacts and prOVIdes a basis
for plan implementation at the state, county and local levels
FURTHER, BE IT RESOL YED, that the City of Stillwater pledges its full support and
participatIOn in a planning process that provides the needed facts to fully evaluate plan alternative plans in
developing a consensus VIsion for the TH 36 corridor,

desIgnatIon of the 15 acre site from Townhouse ResidentIal, TH, to Public Works FacIlIty, PWF.
The appropnateness of the SIte for a publIc works facilIty was a subject of the Boutwell study last
year. Smce that time, the CIty of Stillwater has purchased the site,
Zoning Amendments. The zomng amendments establish a new Public Works Facility Zoning
DIStnct The map amendment designates the 15 acre site public works tacdity, The text

Planned Unit Development. The Planned Unit Development plans mclude the SIte plan,
landscape plan and buildmg elevatIons for the project. The Planmng Commission approval
places condItIons of approval on the project in addition to the PUD permit. City design review is
also required.

Memorandum
To: Planmng CommissIOn
From:
Steve Russell, Community Development Director
v
Date: 6-7-01
Subject: Comprehensive Plan Amendment Changing Land Use Designation of IS-acre sIte from
Single Family Attached to Public Works Facility.
Discussion
The ComprehensIve Plan designates the site located South of Boutwell Road and East ofManmng
Avenue Attached Smgle FamIly ResIdential (see map). Based on that designation, the site could
accommodate 50-75 townhouse units. The proposal IS to change the proposed land use to PublIc
Works Facility to allow the development of the City of StIllwater Public Works Facility. (The
Plannmg Commission, Joint Board and City Council held a series of public meetmgs in 2000 to
determine the sites appropriateness for such a facility. A concept plan resulted from that study along
WIth CIty CouncIl duectIon to purchase the IS-acre SIte.)
The proposed land use can be accommodated on the SIte. Public services are being prOVIded to the
area with Phase IT, Settlers Glen Development. Boutwell Road can accommodate the traffic but will
need improvement WIth Phase IT expansion area development. The City of Stillwater has annexed
entire road and plans to make future nnprovements.
The IS-acre proposed publIc facIlIty site IS surrounded by existing residences to the South and West
and Phase IT Settlers Glen to the North. Special faCIlIty design, buffenng development and
landscaping can mitigate the public facilIty visual impact from the adjacent use. (See Performance
Standards m PublIc Works FaCIlIty Ordinance, ZAT/OI-0l)
Recommendation
Approval (Resolution).
Finally! The proposed use is consIstent with the Planning prinCIples and the Goal and Objective of
the Comprehensive Plan,

Date: 6-7-01
Subject: Planned Unit Development Review for 40,000 sq/ft Public Works FacIlIty and Park
With Shared ParkIng. PUD/OI-29
DISCUSSIon
The applIcatIon IS a PUD pennit for the development of a IS-acre SIte, into a pubhc works
facilIty and park.
A tributary to Brown's Creek runs along the southern boundary of the site, Approxunately 1/3
of the IS-acres is wetland and not developed. ReSIdentIal uses m Spnng Creek SubchvislOn to
the south and a reSIdence directly to the west, boarder the site A parcel owned by StIllwater
Township dechcated for park use, is located along Boutwell Road chrectly east of the
development site
Boutwell Road provides site access off of Manning Avenue, a pnmary artenal road. (See
. attached site map).
During summer/fall 2000, a site study was conducted by the CIty to evaluate the feasIbIlIty of the
site for a publIc works facilIty. Neighborhood meetings were held The Planning Commission,
Joint Board and City CouncIl parncipated in the feasIbility study.
The site analysis map provides a visual reVIew of site and surrounclmg area conchtIons and a
context for SIte development. After a detailed site analysIS includmg a. wetland delineatIon and
natural resource inventory, a site plan was developed for the PublIc Works FacilIty/neighborhood
park. (See site plan map) Table 1 lIsts the various components to the SIte plan With square
footage,
WIth mmor adjustments for public comments and space needs, the proposal before the Planning
COIDmlSSIOn IS the same as the one resulting from the 2000 study. Areas of SpecIal concern are
SIte access, parking, outside storage buffer/screemng and relatIonship to park use. (The site and
bwlding deSIgn is reminiscent of a rural farmstead.)
.
Dnveway access to the site is provided in two locations off of Boutwell. Shared facIlity/park use
IS shown to the east while the west access is for service only, The Public Works building is
positioned to the front of the lot to block views of the work area and take advantage of the
southern exposure. The garage doors open to the intenor of the site. An outSIde storage area is
positIoned to the South of the main buildmg area. The storage area IS screened by landscapmg, a
nursery and fencing.
A salt storage bwldmg IS shown m the courtyard area of the mam publIc works building. A ball
field IS located east of the Public Works site, shared parkIng is provided. A pOSSIble commumty
.
.
.
meetIng room m the PublIc Works FacIlIty uses the shared parkmg lots. Storm water mfiltratIon
areas separate the development SIte from the Spnng Creek wetland area.
A review of the project With the new Public Works FaCIlIty ordmances inchcate lot area, setback,
lot coverage and height linuts are met. The master plan does not mclude detail on storm water
management, site lIghting, mechanical eqwpment location, landscape plan detail and park
nnprovements To accomplIsh the park improvements, cooperatIon With StIllwater Township
may be necessary. The areas not covered by the plan can be addressed by conditIon of approval
and additional reVIew by the Planning Commission when the detaIls are available.
In adchtIon to Planning CommIssIon reVIew, the project requrres separate deSIgn review.

concept. There also has been dIscussion of roof-top storage to control runoff rates The hope is to
have more definitive specs and plans by July.
Mr. Wallis stated plans have been presented to the Heritage Preservation Commission, and he
has no problems with the 21 conditions of approval. Mr. Hultman asked about the proposed
shoebox style lighting and asked if the applicant might consider some more historically
appropriate style; Mr. Wallis noted they will be returning to the HPC regarding light fixture
styles, and he stated they are trying to use a lot of historically appropriate materials.
Mr WallIs briefly reviewed the retail space use, and noted that the HPC has recommended that
the Mmn Street elevatIon be made more pedestnan fnendly, the applIcant will be working with
the HPC on that concept
Mr. Middleton asked how the proposal fits into the Riverway regulations. Mr. Russell noted
RIverway regulations do not apply to the plan, only the Flood Plain and Central Business District
regulations are applicable.
.
Ron Anderson, 216 W. Orleans St., commented on the proposed underground parking and
suggested that the applicant might need some infrastructure to keep hydrostatIc pressure at a
minimum.
Bobbi Brohard, 919 S. Fourth St., asked about the length of the building. The building WIll be
240' across the front elevation.
Lmda Amrein, 307 E Laurel, asked about the cost of the units and spoke about affordable
housing needs. Mr. Wallis noted that is an issue and the applicant is looking at granting sources.
Ms Amrem also asked about the height; Mr. Wallis explained the building needs to be at the
maximum allowable height, 50' , to make the project work.
Mr. Wald moved to give concept approval as conditioned, with the applicant to work with staff
in refining design plans. Mrs. Bealka seconded the motion; motion passed unanimously
Case No. CPAlOl-Ol A Comprehensive Plan amendment changing land use designation of 15
acres of land south of Boutwell Road and west of Boutwell Cemetery from Smgle Family to
PublIc FacilIty. City of Stillwater, applIcant.
Mr Russell stated the site has been purchased for a public works facility. The zoning district sets
the performance standards, such as noise levels, landscaping and other requirements. Ron
Anderson, 216 W Orleans St., asked who would pay for the road improvements. Mr. Russell
noted the street has been annexed to the city and is a potential State Aid Street; also he said
improvements are slated in conjunction with the Settler's Glen development. Mr. Russell said he
. was not sure of the exact formula regarding the cost sharing of the street improvements, noting

that a publIc works facility would generate less traffic than a 75-unit townhouse development
that could be located at the site if not rezoned.

motion passed unanimously.
Case ZAT/OI-Ol Zoning Test Amendment establishing a new Public Facility Zoning DistrIct.

acre site Into a 40,000 square foot public works facility with outdoor storage. City of Stillwater,

.
City Engineer Klayton Eckles introduced the presentation by noting that the City has been
lookmg for a site for a public works facility since 1994. The architectural firm working on the
plans and specifications for the facility has received input from neighbors. The site will also
mclude some park space, and the building design includes space for neighborhood meetings.
Wayne Branum of SALA Architects reviewed the sitelbuildmg plans which reflect the rural
character of the neighborhood
Mr. Gag, seconded by Mr. Wald, moved approval as conditioned, motIon passed unanimously.
Public Hearing on Minnesota Department of Transportation TH 36 Corridor Management Plan
Present for the discussion were Doug Fisher, deputy director of the Washington County
Transportation Department, Scott McBride, consultant with SEH, and Linda Heath ofMnDOT.
Mr McBride reviewed the plan vision and implementation process. The vision includes a goal of
an average speed of 55 mph through the corridor. He stated there are two preliminary plans for
the Stillwater area: Plan A, elIminating the OakgreenlGreeley access; Plan B, leaving the 3
existing traffic SIgnalS should a new bridge not be constructed.
.
Ms. Heath reviewed the shared strategies, asking Stillwater to participate in the corridor
management team, asking that the management plan be incorporated into the City's
Comprehensive Plan and asking that the City adopt a resolution recognizing the significance of
the interregional highway corridor.

Water Board study.
Mr Anderson bnefly expla10ed to the students why the CommIssion is conduct1Og the study Mr
Anderson smd he obtaJ.ned water rates from the CItIes of Hastings, Forest Lake and South St
Paul, but dIdn't get the information 10 time to convert the rates to the 22,000 gallon base used to
compute Stillwater's rates Mr. Anderson noted that South St Paul IS a charter CIty, but does not
have a water board Mr. Kriesel provIded copIes of the StIllwater Water Board's most recent
budget and financIal statement.
Ms Ruch said it appears that StIllwater's water rates are m the ballpark WIth the other citIes the
CommIssion has obtained rate information from Mr. Kriesel reIterated Ins concern that the rates
don't mdicate whether a CIty subsidIzes some fixed costs For example, he noted, that m
StIllwater, the homeowner is responsible for the water service from the main to the home; other
cities might pick up the cost of maintaJ.ninglrepamng the water service from the mmn to the
residence. Mr. Kriesel said he also sees an Issue with umfied labor and the cost effectiveness of
having a separate water department versus a smgle publIc works structure, as well as Issues
related to liabilIty.
.
Mr. Donnelly questioned movmg forward WIth the study considenng Stillwater's rates are in the
ballpark or at the low end when compared with the other citIes. Regarding the Issue of employee
productivity, Mr Donnelly suggested that is a Issue WIth CItyWIde implIcatIOns: Why stop WIth
the Water Board?
Mr. Kriesel said he was stIll uncomfortable as to whether the rates obtamed compare apples and
apples - whether all citIes require the homeowner to be responsIble for the water service from
the main to the residence, whether Stillwater isn't subsidizmg some infrastructure costs that other
CIties do not, etc. He smd he favored completIng the study process with good documentatIon.
There are a lot of unanswered questions, he said
Mr. Anderson noted that after each session, as outlined 10 the agreed upon study process, the
Commission has to vote on whether to contInue He suggested that it would be useful to find out .

FROM:
DATE:
July 13, 2001
RE:
Myrtle Street Overlay
Project 2001-14
DISCUSSION
Myrtle Street from N Fifth Street to MaJ.n Street has not had any improvements done
other than routme mamtenance and a seal coat SInce 1991 Right now the rutting and the
nde would be rated poor and an improvement to the street IS warranted It IS proposed to
do a mIll and overlay project for tlus sectIon of road. The top two or three Inches of
bitumInOUS would be Inllled off from curb to curb and replaced WIth a new bltummous
bmder and bltummous wear course. After completion of the overlay, intersectIons would
be stnped for crosswalks and parking spaces WIll be remarked.
Myrtle Street IS a MuniCipal State Aid Road and overlay projects are 100% by through
State Aid The City would have to follow their guidelInes m order to receive the fundmg,
wlnch has not been a problem In the past.
Smce thiS IS a small project, preparation of plans should be completed m less than two
weeks Once plans are completed, they will be sent to the State AId Office for approval
This process takes three to five weeks dependIng on therr workload SInce the estimate
for tlns project WIll be probably less than $100,000, we need to only advertise for two
weeks. If everytlnng goes well, construction would start in September and be completed
by the end of the month
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that CouncIl authorize staff to prepare plans and specifications for the

Wharfage Permit Review for Gondola Rides
Mr. Kerschbaum's gondola rides request was reviewed by the Parks Board at their meeting of
June 25, 2001. The Parks Board thought the idea had merit and referred the applicant to the
StIllwater Boat and Packet publIc docks area as a boarding area. Mr. Kerschbaum discussed the
concept with Mr. Anderson and said he felt they could work something out regarding rent and
use of the docks
The Issue before CouncIl is should gondola ride be allowed from the public docks operated by
Mr. Anderson. The Parks Board felt the levee was not appropriate for a boarding area
.
I have contact the DNR regarding their requirements and report on their authority at meeting
time.
It is suggested that if approved, a one year permit be issued and use reviewed after that time.
Recommendation: Decision on request.
Attachment: Letter from applicant.

Gondola on St.Croix
1) Proposal.
To gIVe Gondola rides off the City dock for special events (weddings etc) and to the general
public. Rides would last from V2-1 hour, along the waterfront. An old world Gondolier craftsmen,
In Venice, with the finest traditional details, built my boat. I will be In costume to reflect the time
penod and hope to bring some of the beauty and romance from Venice to Stillwater. This would
be a very umque experience and offer a serene way to enJoy the rIVer.
2) What is a Gondola")
An old world non-motonzed boat, 4-6 passenger, developed by the Venetians In Venice Italy
to SUIt the special needs to transport goods and people across open water. The sturdy deSign IS
stable and secure for rough waters. It's a flat bottom boat that allows easy movement In narrow
shallow waterways. For this reason the Gondola IS a perfect fit for the river and the charm of old
Stillwater.
3) Needs
Permission to have a small cart, In order to give information and organize departures from
the dock.
.
4) Experience
Grew up In Afton on the nver and have been Involved with water sports my whole life. I have
gUided canoe tnps In the Boundary Waters for years. I have water safety training and
certification.
I have been before the park board and on their recommendations I am seeking permission to use
the City dock. I have talked with Dick Anderson and he said that he doesn't see any problems and
that he IS Willing to work With me If I get permission from the City.

FYI
Dear Mayor KImble
Governor Ventura has asked me to respond to your letters regardmg the proposed TH 36
St CrOIx RIver Crossing Project.
As you are aware, the provisions of the department fundIng bill for Mn/DOT stipulated
that the funds WIll remmn comnlltted to tlus project untIl July 2002 Tlus action exceeds
the extensIOn request of the resolution passed by the Stillwater CIty CouncIl on April 3,
2001 and prolublts the potentIal termination of this project as of June 1 as requested in
your letter of May 10, 2001 to the governor
Your persIstence and devotion to tlus project by yourself and the StIllwater CIty Council
is adrmrable and IS certaJ.nly the type of support that must be demonstrated m order to
find a solutIOn to our present impasse over mItIgating issues.
A contmued vIsible show of support for this project by the CIty and other local
governments, on both SIdes of the rIver WIll be CrItIcal in finding a VIable solutIon to our
mItigatIon issues
As you are aware, meetings are being set up to begin dIscussions on these issues. I'm
sure your mvolvement m these meetmgs will help to bnng a SpIrit of compromIse and
optImism to the resolution of these issues so we can once agmn proceed with the
development of tlus project
Thank you for your dedIcatIOn of tlus project.
