  • Northstar Corridor Rail Project Work Group Report
    This document is made available electronically by the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library as part of an ongoing digital archiving project. http://www.leg.state.mn.us/lrl/lrl.asp 04 - 0027 Northstar Corridor Rail Project Work Group Report Required by 2003 Minnesota Legislature Minnesota Session Laws of 2003 l't Special Session Chapter 19 - Section 75 Report Date: January 15,2004 r Northstar Work Group Report Draft January 15, 2004 Introduction The Northstar Corridor Rail Project is a proposed commuter rail project running northwest from downtown Minneapolis near the trunk highway 10 corridor. Potential stations, in addition to downtown, are Northeast Minneapolis, Fridley, Coon Rapids-Foley, Coon Rapids­ Riverdale, Anoka, Elk River, Big Lake, Becker, St. Cloud East, and Rice. The state share of funding for the project has been debated by the Minnesota Legislature since the 2000 session, but has not been authorized. Minnesota Session Laws of 2003, 1st Special Session, Chapter 19, Section 75 (see appendix A) required the commissioner of transportation, in conjunction with the Northstar Corridor Development Authority (NCDA), to convene a work group to perform two specific tasks: 1) Update ridership forecasts for Northstar commuter rail based on 2000 census data and 2) Seek updated information from the Burlington Northem Santa Fe railroad (BNSF) regarding capacity improvements, railroad usage rights, construction, risk and liability allocation, and other related issues. The commissioner must report this to chairs and ranking members of legislative committees having jurisdiction over transportation and capital investment by January 15, 2004. A work group was formed comprised of 22 people from the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT), NCDA, Northstar Corridor counties, and the Metropolitan Council with expertise in planning, transportation investment, project management, railroading, and the Northstar corridor.
