WHEREAS, the Minnesota Department of Transportation, the
Metropolitan Council, and the Federal Highway
Administration have been preparing an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) for I-35W South for several
years; and
WHEREAS, MN/DOT has programmed construction of an interim third
lane on I-35W between 1-494 and Trunk Highway 13 in 1993
and 1994; and
WHEREAS, this interim third lane will temporarily relieve the
intolerable delays which occur daily to 35W users; and
WHEREAS, additional capacity would have to be added to meet the
demands expected to occur by the year 2010; and
WHEREAS, a group of citizens and elected officials from South
Minneapolis have prepared an additional Report entitled
"I-35W Change Plan: Economic Solution", which proposes
only the addition of Light Rail Transit (LRT) to the 35W
corridor; and
WHEREAS, this Report is woefully incomplete, provides no relief
for the most congested portions of the freeway, and does
not even begin to meet demand.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF
PRIOR LAKE, MINNESOTA, urges Minnesota Department of
Transportation Commissioner James Denn to continue the ~lan to
construct a third lane on 35W in 1993 and to avoid any addltional
delays.
