Mayor Peterson called the City Council meeting of the City of Albertville to order at
6:30 p.m.
The purpose of the workshop was to review I-94 traffic modeling. Scott McBride opened
by reviewing the history of the project and outlined the five different options that traffic
modeling has been completed as follows:
1) No -build: I-94 with 6 lanes, No Naber Intersection
2) 2B: Modified CD Road EB & WB
3) 2C: Modified CD Road EB, Direct Ramps WB
4) B: Full Intersection CR 19, half Intersection CR 37
5) D: Full Intersection CR 19, No Intersection CR37
Mr. McBride shared the 2030 traffic counts for CR19 at 14,000 trips per day to and from
the West of CSAH 19 and 30,000 trips per day from the East of CSAH 37.
Mr. McBride then stated that 5,000 of the trips to and from the East will use CSAH 37
and 4,000 of the I-94 East bound traffic will exit on CSAH 37.
The majority of the traffic will use CSAH 19 as follows: 10,000 trips per day to and
from the West will use CSAH 19 and 25,000 trips per day from East I-94 will use
CSAH 19.
The Council wanted to emphasize that the No -build, full Intersection at CR 19 and half at
CR 37, and the full intersection at CR 19, and no intersection at CR 37 were requirements
from MNDOT to study and needed to build the case to support 2B and 2C Modified
Collector Distributor layouts. Further the Council wanted to make it clear that they do not
support closing any ramps on CSAH 37.
Questions the Council asked and SEH stated they would get back to the City are:
1) If the interchange were built today, what would the traffic counts be for CSAH
19 and CSAH 37, as compared to slide number 2
2) What would the traffic modeling of 2B and 2C look like without the Naber
Avenue interchange?
The Council set a public informational meeting for Monday, February 281h at 6:30 p.m. at
a location to be announced.
RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT
City Administrator Kruse stated the timeframe to garner legislative support for a state or
federal appropriation for I-94 is short and advised the council to adopt a resolution as
soon as possible. The City is asking other government units to support us and Albertville
should lead with a resolution.
By consensus the Council agreed to consider and support a resolution for the I-94 project
at the Monday, February 7, 2005 City Council meeting. The preferred layout is Option
2C, Modified CD Road EB, Direct Ramps WB.
Workshop adjourned at 8:30 p.m.
