Til 252 CORRIDOR STUDY UPDATE
Public Works Director/City Engineer Steve Lillehaug continued the presentation pertaining to
the Trunk Highway 252 Corridor Study with Alternative A and key issues; Alternative B and key
issues; Alternative D and key issues; and Alternative F and key issues; the study's alternatives
evaluation; and the results of the questionnaire.
Councilmember/Commissioner Ryan stated that Alternative D could result in possible litigation
from businesses who might claim that their interest has been damaged due to the impacts to
access to their properties and discussion took place regarding that possibility.
Mr. Lillehaug indicated the recommended alternative includes a combination of A plus B that
would include a 66 t Avenue full access interchange; 70th Avenue closed and a pedestrian bridge;
and a 73rd Avenue full access combination with Brookdale Drive. Information that supported the
recommended alternative was discussed along with other project components that would be
experienced and consistent with any freeway conversion option including increasing traffic
volumes, sound walls, bridges, and other aesthetics. Possible next steps were discussed that
include public involvement based on the City Council's desire to formalize and consider a
preferred alternative; the City Council approval of a report that would include the City's
preferred option; and a Hennepin County led Freeway Conversion study for TH 252. Mr.
Lillehaug stated that if the City Council desired to proceed with the proposed recommendation,
federal funding could then be pursued including a formal request to the Minnesota Department of
Transportation and the Metropolitan Council for an interchange at 66 k " Avenue North.

as a planning guide with elements of Alternatives A and B as recommended.
