Metro District, East Area Manager
From:
Subject: Joint Council Meeting
Thank you for agreeing to meet jointly regarding the St Croix River Crossing project.
Weare coming to some critical decisions in the project development process for this project
and I need your input and guidance regarding some decisions that our agency must make
soon.
Listed below are four items that I would like to discuss with you at this meeting:
1. Municipal consent process
A final decision on whether this project will be submitted under the old
municipal consent law or the CUu.:...t law has yet to be made. I will give a brief
explanation of each process. It is Oak Park Height's position that this project
should be subject to the old process.
Since this involves approvals by both cities and since it also involves county
highways, it would be very helpful for me to get this decision finalized within
MnJDOT, if I knew that there was a consensus position of the local
governments.
2. TH 36 Design options
As indicated by both City councils, there is concern with the anticipated impacts
on the business community along TH 36 if "Concept F" were to be constructed
.
Page Two
and we have been requested to consider other options including a "cut and
"
cover concept.
I will briefly review the previous concepts that were developed in the
Partnership Study, the concept that was previously approved as a part of the
1995 project effort, and the "cut and cover" concept. These concepts are
provided as an attachment to this memo for your review prior to the meeting
I will present three options and their implications for discussion. Your advice
and guidance on which approach seems to be the best would be greatly
app.lvciated.
3. Project status and funding implications
I will provide a status report of where we are in the overall project development
process, issues that remain to be resolved or are being worked on, and will
provide you with an overview ofthe funding situation for this project. Any
advice you can provide on how we might work together for solicitation of
funding for this project would very helpful.

Recommendations:
1. Existing frontage road conditions and poor geometries discourage use of the frontage road
system, placing more traffic on TH 36. Regardless of decisions about the ultimate concept
for TH 36, short-term improvements should be implemented prior to 2010. Short-term
improvements should anticipate future roadway improvements to minimize repeated
disruption of businesses and land uses in the area.
2. Pedestrian and bicycle facilities in the corridor should be improved regardless of which
roadway concept is selected. If a safe crossing cannot be provided via roadway connections,
then a pedestrian/bicycle bridge should be considered.
3. Proposed roadway improvements should include aesthetic treatments appropriate to the
character of the surrounding area including lighting, landscaping, bridge and retaining wall
treatments and pavement selections.
4.
A grade-separated facility with two interchanges and maximum speed of 45 mph should be
considered as the ultimate solution for the corridor to provide adequate capacity and
acceptable levels of operations. However, design of this facility should seek to minimize its
impact on the surrounding communities through sensitive choices of horizontal alignment,
vertical placement and aesthetically pleasing treatments. The design should seek to
minimize business takings and to explore opportunities where mutually-agreed upon sale of
property or relocations of businesses can occur.
5.
Following completion of preliminary design, Mn/DOT and the cities of Oak Park Heights
and Stillwater should explore options for preserving right-of-way and minimizing future
land use impacts through official mapping or some other mutually-agreed upon mechanism
by December 31,2003.
6.
The study partners should continue to work with Mn/DOT through the preliminary design
process to address the above concerns, and, through a cooperative process, develop a
roadway improvement package acceptable to all parties by December 31, 2003.
7. Transportation alternatives (e.g. Light Rail Transit, or bus hub) should be examined as part
of future Mn/DOT planning for the area.
Next Steps
These recommendations will be presented to the Oak Park Heights Planning Commission and City
Council, the Stillwater Planning Commission and City Council, and the Washington County Board
for adoption. The resulting recommendations provide the conceptual framework for development
of preliminary engineering layouts for the study corridor by Mn/DOT and consideration of staging
for the proposed future improvements in the development of the S1. Croix River Crossing or future
projects in the area.

'995 PREIERRED ALTERNATIVE - T.H. 36 IROM NORELL/WASHINGTON TO OSGOOD AVE.
Preservation of all three at-made intersections
. Design of roadway is 1995 preferred alternative,
. Access to lH, 36 provided at NorelVWashington, OakgreerlGreeley and Osgood
in addition to lH, 5 and lH, 95 interchanges,
. Frontage roads improved & pulled back from lH, 36 only at OakgreerlGreeley,
Frontage roads at Osgood would remain on existing alignments,
. Beach Road over T,H. 36 to be built as part of T,H, 36/95 interchange work,

(2) Signal = Traffic Signal Controlled Intersection
(3) Unsig = Unsignalized Intersection with Stop Sign Control
(4) Intersection delay estimates (in seconds).
(5) Level of Service for Signalized intersection is shown as overall intersection LOS.
(6) Level of Service for Un signalized intersections is shown as overall intersection = LOS X/LOS X NB for the worst approach.
(7) Includes one bridge deck lift during the analysis period. .
, (8) LOS D reflects the presence of a metering effect at the Main/Nelson Street and MainIMyrtle Street intersections; The adjacent
intersections limit the traffic volume reaching the Main/Chestnut Street intersection; yielding better LOS results than
anticipated. Refer to the traffic operations technical memorandum for additional information.
