Why a PEL? Planning and Environmental Linkages A High-level and Contextual Vision. Establishes collaboration, information sharing, and an integrated approach early in the planning process. Promotes shared understanding of needs. Reduces potential duplication of NEPA process requirements for subsequent projects. , mndot.gov 17 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
MN 47/65 PEL Phase 1 Focus Areas 1. Understand roles and functions of the two corridors locally and in the region. 2. Identify immediate and long term user needs for all modes. 3. Corridor evaluation of existing and future conditions. 4. Evaluation criteria and approach to complete the PEL study and federal concurrence. , 12/04/19 mndot.gov 18 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
PEL Challenges Managing expectations for when alternatives, solutions, and details will be discussed. Engaging stakeholders without traditional layouts and drawings. , 11/21/19 mndot.gov 19 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
