Our File No. LN400-51
1 Dear Mayor Chmiel:
On behalf of the Southwest Corridor Transportation Coalition, I
1 ask that the City of Chanhassen contribute $10, 000 to the
Coalition to assist in financing its ongoing programs . As you
know, the purpose of the Coalition is to work to secure the
earliest possible construction of proposed new Highway 212 and
widening of T.H. 5 from Interstate 494 to T.H. 41.
The Coalition has been very active in the last three years in
1 this effort . It has :
1. Facilitated the joint powers agreement among the Cities
of Eden Prairie, Chanhassen and Chaska, Carver County, Hennepin
1 County and MnDot relating to design of the widening of T.H. 5 in
Eden Prairie and Chanhassen;
1 2 . Facilitated the joint powers agreement among Eden
Prairie, Chanhassen, Chaska , Carver County, Hennepin and MnDot
relating to funding of the EIS on new T.H. 212 ;
1 3 . Lobbied the Legislature for increased transportation
funding;
4 . Lobbied MnDot for project programming;
I

Mr . Don Chmiel

5 . Supported a joint powers agreement among Chanhassen,
Chaska and Carver County to jointly study the highway network
ancillary to T.H. 41 and U.S. Highway 212 ; and '
6 . Hired a full-time coordinator to work on its behalf .
In our view, the most important goals of the Coalition in the 1
next year will be to work to secure a federal grant or other
funding of the design of new Highway 212 from I-494 to Norwood
and to maintain oversight over and commitment to construct the
widening of T.H. 5 from Wallace Road to T.H. 41.
In order to finance these efforts, we are now embarked on an
effort to obtain contributions from Eden Prairie, Chanhassen,
Chaska, Carver County, and Hennepin County of $10 ,000 each. We
will be formulating a program within the next 30 days under which
we will be working to build our general membership between I-494
and the South Dakota boundary as well as seeking donations from
major private organizations and other public bodies.
We view our role as being that of a catalyst for action and a ,
unifying force for all public and private organizations which
will benefit by improvement of these roads . We hope that you
agree that we have been and can be helpful to your organization
in this role.
If you would like a representative of the Coalition to appear
before your council to answer questions about the activities of
the Coalition, please contact me.
Thank you for your support .
