TH 101 Improvements, PW067F4: Approve a Resolution Supporting
STP Funding Solicitation
ACTION REQUESTED
Approve resolution supporting STP funding application for THI0l improvements
from Lyman Boulevard to Pioneer Trail.
BACKGROUND
On January 9, 2006, the Council approved a Joint Powers Agreement with Carver
County and the Minnesota Department of Transportation to fund the corridor
study. The agreement splits equally the funding of the project between the three
agencIes.
On February 27, 2006, Council approved a consultant contract to study the TH
101 corridor for potential future improvements.
OnIuly 11, 2006, staff held an initial open house meeting to inform residents
about the project.
On September 25,2006, staff discussed the progress of this study in a Council
work session. Four concept alignments and several potential solutions to the
"wye" intersection of MN 101 and Old TH 212 were discussed.
On November 15, 2006, staff held a second open house meeting. The purpose of
the second open house was, again, to receive public input on the four preliminary
alternati ves that had been developed.
On February 28,2007, staff held a third and final open house meeting. The
purpose of the third open house was to review the recommended alternative,
gather additional public comment and discuss next steps.
On May 29,2007, staff sent a letter to MnDOT requesting financial support for
the first phase of the TH 101 improvements (Lyman Boulevard to Pioneer Trail)
if STP funds are authorized. City costs, if the project moves forward, may
include trail, park, and turn lane improvements and some right-of-way
acquisition.

Project Objectives:
. Correct safety deficiencies.
. Improve ability to function as a Minor Arterial Roadway.
. Accommodate future traffic growth associated with greater "connectivity"
with new TH 212.
. Accommodate future local development growth.
DISCUSSION
Staff has been working with MnDOT and Carver County on the next steps for the
TH101 from Lyman Boulevard to the Scott County Line. The plan that has
moved forward is to concentrate on funding construction for the segment of
highway between Lyman Boulevard and Pioneer Trail. This segment has shown
to be the greatest safety problem along TH 101 above the bluff and has less
environmental issues then the segment south of Pioneer Trail. Also, this segment
is in the next development expansion area in the City. Staff is still planning to
work with MnDOT and Carver County on the segment south of Pioneer Trail.
In odd numbered years, the Metropolitan Council and its Transportation Advisory
Board (TAB) selects projects for federal SAFETEA-L V funding in the following
programs: Surface Transportation Program (STP), Transportation Enhancements
Program (TEP) and Congestion Mitigation! Air Quality (CMAQ) programs. The
two-year selection process involves solicitation of projects from MnDOT, cities,
counties, and transit providers, evaluation and ranking of these projects by the
Transportation Advisory Board (TAB) and Technical Advisory Committee, and
selecting a list of approved projects.
The Transportation Advisory Board and Metropolitan Council will award
approximately $80 million from the STP-Urban Guarantee program in the seven-
county metropolitan area. These funds will be allocated to the region in 2011 and
2012. If funds are available, projects can be advanced if the project is completely
developed. The amount of funds available in these programs is based on the
funding levels established by SAFETEA-LD. Prior to selecting projects, the
funding level will be reviewed to ensure fiscal balance of the Transportation
Improvement Program. The selected projects and programs will be programmed
for construction or implementation in 2011 and 2012 as part of the region's
Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for 2009-2012. The 2009-2012 TIP
will be drafted in March 2008 and adopted by the TAB in September 2008.
Notification of applicants "to proceed" is anticipated to occur in November or
December of 2008.

Re:

Projyct 1 - MN 101 from Lyman Boulevard to Pioneer Trail- PW067F4
Dear Pat:
The City of Chanhassen, in conjunction with Carver County and the Minnesota Depaltment of
Transportation, completed a conidor scoping and environmental screening study for MN101 in
May 2007. The study identified long-term transpOltation improvements to address safety,
capacity, and connectivity issues south of new TH 212. The limits of the study were the
Carver/Scott County line on the south end to Lyman Boulevard (CSAR 18) on the north end,
which is where the 4-1ane section will end upon completion of the new TH 212 freeway
improvements. A range of alternatives and a scoping process were developed and applied to
evaluate the alternatives. Environmental "screening" was pelformed to identify natural and social
environmental issues that influence selection alternatives and to identify issues that may require
fmther study in futme phases of project development. Also, a technical memorandum was drafted
that identified the area north of Pioneer Trail as an independent utility allowing project
development to proceed prior to fmther environmental review of the area south of Pioneer Trail.
The conidor has several major safety problems related to steep grades, sharp cmves and severe
undulations in the vertical profile. Inadequate sight distances along the conidor create blind
public street, driveway and trail intersections. "Run off the road" and "loss of control" type
crashes are prevalent throughout the conidor. Intersection and congestion related crashes are
prevalent at the Old U.S. Highway 212 (US. 212) and Trunk Highway 101 intersection. These
issues contribute to overall crash and severity rates that are more than three times greater than
those experienced on other rural two lane roadways in the Metro area.
MN 101 is classified as a minor alterial roadway. New U.S. 212 is being constructed with an
interchange at MN 101. MN 101 (between the Minnesota River and New US. 212) is a logical
and direct link that would serve travel demands to and from the heart of the Twin Cities
Metropolitan Area. While Old US. 212 serves a regional transportation route today, its
effectiveness is hampered by traffic congestion in the commercial districts of Eden Prairie and
Chaska. MN 101, between the communities of Shakopee and Chanhassen, will continue to serve
as one of only a few options available to cross the Minnesota River.
The pmpose of the proposed project is to address safety and long-term capacity needs for the
conidor; in addition, it addresses some regional capacity deficiencies.
The MN101 conidor is included in the 2008-2030 Transportation System Plan (TSP) under
Jmisdictional Transfer in the constrained plan. If STP funds are approved, construction will take
place in 2011. The project will not adversely affect MnDot's trunk highway operation, but
remove a minor alterial roadway from MnDot jurisdiction.
Proiect Staging: The conidor has been divided into manageable independent projects for
construction. The area north of Pioneer Trail is the first project proposed to be constructed.

. Project I - Construction would tie into the roadway that is cunently being constructed by
the 212 project, south of Lyman Boulevard and extend south, through the intersection of
Pioneer Trail. This segment is the next logical part of the conidor to be improved. The
total length of Project 1 is 0.75 miles. Approximately 6.5 acres of light-of-way will need
to be acquired for the widening and safety improvements. However, most of the land is
anticipated to be dedicated thTOugh new development plats.
. Project 2 - Reconstruction/widening between Pioneer Trail and US 212 would take place
after Project 1. The reconstruction/widening between US 212 to the Scott County border,
improvements to the bluff alignment with fixes to the "Y" intersection would be included
in this project.
Funding Plan for Project 1: No funding has yet been secured for the improvements to
the conidor. It is expected that Federal, State and local funds will be needed to finance
the improvements.
Funding Plan -Project 1
STP Funds 80%
MNDOT 2009 Pavement Preservation Project 5%
Local and State Sources15%
Total Construction Estimate
$5,680,000
$330,000
$1,090,000
$7,100,000
Right-of-way costs would be split between state and local sources. City and MNDOT staff have
discussed use of a variety of state sources including Pavement Preservation, Safety-Capacity,
Traffic Signal, COOP Agreement Program, Access Management and Flexible Highway Account.
Those discussions are continuing to finalize a financing plan. We request MNDOT consider
accomplishing project development by its resources if the project is selected to receive federal
funds.
The contact for this project will be Mr. Paul Oehme, Director of Public Works/City Engineer,
City of Chanhassen (952) 227-1169 or Mr. Roger Gustafson, County Engineer, Carver County

TRANSPORTATION ENHANCEMENTS PROGRAM (TE)
METROPOLITAN COUNCIL
TRANSPORTA TION ADVISORY BOARD
TWIN CITIES METROPOLITAN AREA, MINNESOTA
May 25, 2007
I. INTRODUCTION
Contained in this document are requirements and guidance for applicants desiring to obtain federal funds
under the Surface Transportation Program (STP), the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality
Improvement Program (CMAQ), and the Transportation Enhancements Program (TE) of Title I of the
Safe Accountable Flexible Efficient Transportation Equity Act - A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU).
This regional solicitation for federal transportation project funding is part of the Metropolitan Council's
federally required continuing, comprehensive, and cooperative transportation planning process for the
Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. The funding programs and their related rules and requirements are
established by the U.S. Department of Transportation and administered locally through collaboration with
the Federal Highway Administration, the Federal Transit Administration, and the Minnesota Department
of Transportation.
REGIONAL PHILOSOPHY
The Twin Cities Metropolitan Area selects projects for funding from three federal programs: STP Urban
Guarantee, CMAQ and STP Transportation Enhancements. In accordance with Metropolitan Council
policy, these funds are to be invested to help implement the Regional Development Framework and the
regional growth strategy, as well as to support the region's economic vitality and quality of life.
The regional Transportation Policy Plan sets the broad framework for transportation actions consistent
with the Regional Development Framework and the regional growth strategy. Implementation plans are
developed within this framework to address various problems. On the regional level, examples of
implementation plans include the transit sector studies. On the local level, comprehensive plans articulate
problems and solutions unique to the community. Large-scale corridor studies bring together local and
regional concerns. The materials contained in this solicitation package have been developed in such a
manner as to promote and select projects and programs consistent with regional plans and solve problems
in accordance with these various implementation plans.
The solicitation process uses a set of qualifying criteria to determine if a proposed project or program
meets the broadest policy directions and program federal requirements and follows regionally adopted
procedures. For example, the proposed projects must be consistent with the Regional Development
Framework and the Transportation Policy Plan, as well as implement a solution to a transportation
problem discussed in "a local or county comprehensive plan, a locally approved capital improvement
program, an officially adopted corridor study..., or the official plan or program of the applicant agency."
Prioritizing criteria are based on policies in either the Regional Development Framework or the
Transportation Policy Plan, or they may address various operational issues. When the solicitation process
and criteria were revised after the passage of ISTEA in 1991, the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC)
and the Transportation Advisory Board (TAB) made a conscious effort to generate projects and programs
that were consistent with new federal philosophies. The region decided it would not fund the same type
of highway or transit projects of the past. New projects and programs would have to be responsive to the
adopted goals and objectives of the region, and reflect federal priorities as well. Therefore, the criteria
reward those proposed projects that successfully integrate the regional vision into a local solution.
Common criteria found in most categories reflect this philosophy. Examples include integration of land
use and transportation, cost effectiveness of the proposed investment, safety, integration of modes and air
quality benefit.
1
REGIONAL SOLICITATION PROCESS
The solicitation package is organized as listed in the Table of Contents. The format of the material that
follows is the same for each of the eight project categories. A general description outlines the intent of
the project category. A series of qualifying criteria follows. The applicant must show that the project
meets all the qualifying criteria to be scored and ranked against other qualifying projects.
Applicants whose projects are determined disqualified may challenge that determination through the
process recorded in Appendix R. Finally, a set of prioritizing criteria with a range of points assigned is
provided. The criteria describe important factors that will be used to assign individual points. The
applicant must respond directly to each prioritizing criterion in order for it to be scored and
receive points. Projects are scored based on how well the response meets the requirements of the
prioritizing criteria and how well the responses compare to those in other qualifying applications. Sample
calculations of selected prioritizing criteria are included in the Appendices. Applicants may challenge the
scores given to individual criteria responses through the process recorded in Appendix S. Projects that
are recommended for funding through this solicitation process will be programmed in the Transportation
Improvement Program (TIP) for funding authorization in the years 2011 and 2012.
Members of the T AC-Funding and Programming Committee or other designees will evaluate the
applications and prepare a ranked list of projects by category based on a total score of all the prioritizing
criteria. The Funding and Programming Committee will prepare a minimum of three funding
recommendations. The ranked list of projects along with the three funding alternatives will be forwarded
to the full T AC for approval. The T AC will then forward the ranked list of projects along with the three
recommended funding proposals to the TAB Programming Committee. The TAB Programming
Committee may also develop its own funding options in addition to those forwarded through T AC. This
committee will then recommend a list of projects to be included in the region's Transportation
Improvement Program and receive federal funds to the full TAB. TAB then submits the list of
recommended projects to the Metropolitan Council for concurrence.
Agencies that are eligible to submit applications are identified in each program's policies. Other state,
local or special governmental agencies that have the ability to receive federal funds should work through
an eligible agency to develop and submit eligible projects. Citizen groups, neighborhoods, or individuals
should work with an eligible agency to develop project ideas. It will be up to the eligible agency to
decide if it will help prepare and submit an application. Applicants may not submit the same project in
more than one STP category. The chart below summarizes the schedule and process for this solicitation.
