President Southwest Conidor Transportation Coalition 470 Pillsbury Center Minneapolis, MN 55402 Re: New Trunk Highway 212 Memorandum of Understanding - pW290E Dear Mr. Linda11: The City of Chanhasse!1 has given a great deal of thought. study and discussion to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOD) forwarded by thc Southwest Corridor Transportation Coalition. Although the MOU advocates action steps to accelerate the desigI1 and construction of Highway 212. many issueS important to the City of Chanhassen stiU remain unresolved. Until these issues can be resolved. the City is unable to sign the proposed agreement in its current form. Chanhassen has historically taken a responsible. well-planned approach to development to preserve the character that our residents value. Highway 212 has the potential to be one of the most disruptive and destrUctive public improvement projects to take place in our community. Done properly. Highway 212 could be an asset. If done incorrectly. it could divide our community. ¡,'. Following are sol11e of the issues that have not been íesolved to our satisfactio!1, Apart from these issues. it is important to note that Chanhassen does support the future building of the Highway 212 transportation corridor. 1. If construction of Highway 212 proceeds in a series of stages, and results in a temporary termination of the highway in Chanhassen. our e1dsting road infrastructure is insufficient to cope with the additional traffic without considerable i!1ve~tment and significant impact to our community. Since one of the major arguments for 212 is that it will serve to pass traffic tlu'ough the community. the entire length tlu'ough our city should be built at one time. 2. We need to look at the oveíal1 transportation needs on a regional level. The Southwest Corridor Transportation Coalition is champiomng the completion of Highway 212. but this is only one element in the broader context of regio!1al transportation. We should start right now to coordinate these needs. Member cities and counties should appoint representaÛ\'cs to work with MnDOT to craft a well thought out comprehensive plan. 3. Major upgrading of Highway 494 must be funded in order to cope witJ1 the i!1creased traffic a!1d congestion.

As MnDOT points out, this highway has been on the books for a long time. It is highly likely that since this road was originaJly proposed. new approaches and flew technology have become available for tranSPortation design, including but not limited to. Light Rail Transport. advanced concepts in mass transit. and new concepts in highway design theory. We would like come honest effort put into looking at viable alternatives and enhancements to the current traditional design. We don't want to see a "394-tike" highway dividing our city. 5. We would like to see a renewed commitment to public involvement. Chanhassen believes that important issues that affect our city should be open and accessible throughout the process. As pressure bui1ds to move forward with aspects of 212 planning and right-of-way acquisition. we wil1 schedule regular public input meetings to re-examine, re-study. and re-think how and when to proceed and what the design and character should be. In light of the above issues. the City of Chanhassen has taken the liberty of drafti.ng and forwarding a MOU it would wholeheartedly support and sign. Sincerely.

I. RECtT ALS: 1.01. Construction of an 1 g mile four-lane, divided freeway from 1-494 in Eden Prairie to Norwood ("New Highway 212 Project") is of state-wide significance in that there are no existing four-lane highways serving the southwestern portiòn of the State between U.S. Highway 169 serving Mankato and 1-94 serving St. Cloud. 1.02.

Although the contract for construction of the first phase of the New T.H. 212 Project was let on February 27, 1998, due to lack of sufficient funds, the 20-year program of MnDOT only contemplates constructiQn of the portion of the project lying easterly of Lyman Boulevard in Chanhassen and the program of the Metropolitan Council does not contemplate construction of anything west of Eden Prairie Road in Ederi Prairie prior to the year 2020; 1.05. .
