In 1973, a planned extension to Interstate 94 between I-694/494 and the St. Croix River was cancelled due to concerns raised by residents. This study is part of a restudy that was ordered by the Commissioner of Highways to find the best route for the freeway, taking in to account the resident's concerns. This report focuses on the right-of-ways.
Digital phone service, also known as Personal Communication Systems (PCS), is becoming the preferred choice in wireless phone systems. PCS requires a communications transmittal network, which involves the placement of antennae about one mile apart. This report provides information about community reaction in other states to placing a wireless infrastructure in the right-of-way. It provides a general summary of the industry, a general summary of community reaction to wireless infrastructure placed in rights-of-way, and a summary of issues and topics related to community reaction to wireless infrastructure.
The report includes a three-part bibliography that includes essential reading on the topic, items specific to the economic aspects, collocation, and aesthetics of wireless infrastructure, and other selected items that provide background information.
The report examines policy issues related to the placement of utilities beneath public rights-of-way. The principal issues discussed are: recognition of the present and future value of the space beneath public rights-of-way in space allocation decisions, methodologies for assessing the full societal costs of utility work in congested roadways, implementation of contractual practices and fee structures to mitigate
conditions involving high societal costs, and the work that would be necessary to attempt to include the impact of utility cuts on life-cycle pavement costs.
