A Special Meeting of the Edina City Council was held on Monday, August.3, 1987 at
7:30 a.m. for the purpose of discussing 1-494 Corridor Study policy.
To facilitate the discussion on a policy for controlling traffic volumes on the
1-494 Corridor, Engineer Hoffman presented the following comparison: 1) square
footage of floor area of existing development (actually in place plus developments
not yet built but approved) within Edina, Eden Prairie and Bloomington, 2) square
footage of floor area forecasts by the Metropolitan Council for the year 2010, and
3) square footage of floor area forecasts submitted by each of the cities for the
year 2010.
Following a lengthy discussion, the Council agreed that the City's policy should
be based on trip generation rather than land use as the recommended method of
controlling traffic on 1-494 in the future. Member Turner and Mr. Hoffman, the
City's representatives on the Project Management Team (PMT), were directed to
communicate that to the other cities at the meeting of the PMT to be held at 1:30
