07/12/1988 - City Council Special MINUTES OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE
EAGAN CITY COUNCIL
Eagan, Minnesota
July 12, 1988
A special meeting of the Eagan City Council was
held on Tuesday, July 12, 1988, at 6:30 p.m. , at the Eagan
Municipal Center. Present were Mayor Ellison and City
Councilmembers Egan, Gustafson, McCrea and Wachter. Also
present were Planner Jim Sturm, Director of Public Works
Colbert, and City Administrator Hedges.
LONE OAK TRAVEL DEMAND MANAGEMENT PLAN
City Administrator Hedges introduced the Lone
Oak Travel Demand Management Plan Study that was recently
completed by the engineering firm of BRW at the request
and financing of Northwest Airlines, Wachovia Bank and Trust,
and Larry Laukka. He stated that the purpose of the Travel
Demand Management Plan was to examine future transportation
needs relative to corporate expansion plans for these
companies. He further stated that the City transportation
engineers, SEH, have been asked by City staff to review the
study in detail. The Director of Public Works presented
an in-depth overview of the' study explaining the number of
trips that are allocated as a result of the current indirect
source permit for Northwest Airlines, the proposed improve-
ments that would be required to increase trips to NWA and
other related issues. Mr. Bob Byer of SEH appeared and
discussed his review of the study, offering many confirmations
of the problem but also advising the City Council that the
study does not adequately consider future growth projections
for the cities of Eagan and Mendota Heights. The Director
of Public Works stated that the report is missing a factor of
evaluation referred to as the corridor movement which relates
to traffic that travels ghrough the community without any
local destination point. City Councilmember McCrea suggested
that other neighboring cities be made aware of the trans-
portation implications that corporate growth will cause in
northwest Eagan. The City Administrator stated that cost of
the proposed improvements is an important factor and that
Northwest Airlines has asked for consideration by the City
to participate in expenses that are incurred by the proposed
transportation improvements.
Mayor Ellison suggested that the City staff contact
other cities and agencies, review all roadway alternatives and,
further, that the City staff review financing options for the
proposed and necessary transportation improvements. There
was no formal action taken but City staff was directed to
proceed as directed.
