State Highway 169 Corridor Management Plan

The State Highway 169 study began by forming a broad-based Corridor Partnership, comprised of approximately 40 representatives
from agencies and communities along the corridor. The Partnership was established to assist Mn/DOT in the development of the Corridor Plan, as well as to assist in ongoing corridor management and implementation. The Partnership had two working groups, a Technical Committee, whose role was to provide technical advice and direction to both Mn/DOT and the Policy Committee, and a Policy Committee, whose role was to review and advise Mn/DOT on major policy issues and corridor strategies.

The process used in the development of the TH 169 Corridor Management Plan was intended to create a better understanding of the issues and concerns along the corridor, as well as to develop consensus with Corridor Partners for a long-term vision and action plan that will be implemented over time. The process was also intended to demonstrate how investments and decisions in one part
of the corridor can significantly impact the overall performance of the entire corridor and, very importantly, the process emphasized
the need for Corridor Partners to build relationships among the group in order to resolve common problems and support each other in realizing the corridor's vision.
