U.S. Highway 169 Corridor Coalition
Whereas the U.S Highway 169 Corridor Coalition was established in 2009 as a collaborative effort
among cities, counties and stakeholders to advocate for transportation improvements, safety and
economic development along the U.S. Highway 169 corridor; and
Whereas the Coalition successfully unified regional voices to elevate the corridor's importance in state
and federal transportation planning, securing attention and investment for key infrastructure projects;
and
Whereas the Coalition has fulfilled its original mission, and its member jurisdictions have developed
the capacity to pursue corridor priorities through other regional and legislative channels; and
Whereas the Coalition's leadership has recommended an orderly and transparent dissolution process,
ensuring that remaining funds and responsibilities are appropriately distributed and documented;
Now, therefore, be it resolved that the City of Edina formally supports the dissolution of the U.S.
Highway 169 Corridor Coalition, recognizing its contributions to regional transportation advocacy and
collaboration.
Now, therefore, be it further resolved that the City expresses its gratitude to past and present
Coalition members, staff and partners for their service and dedication to the corridor's long-term
vitality.
