Planning for a
prosperous region
The first job the Minnesota
Legislature gave to the Metropolitan
Council was planning for the orderly
development of the seven -county
metro area. In the half century since
we've been given other jobs like
operating transit and wastewater
treatment and supporting affordable
housing. But good planning is at the
core of all our work.
Alene Tchourumoff
FROM THE CHAIR State law requires the Council
to understand how our region is
growing and changing, and to develop policies to ensure
orderly growth. While the Council is good at identifying
regional needs and challenges regarding housing,
transportation and water quality, the counties, cities and
townships are in the best position to make the actual
plans to meet those challenges at the local level.
We support seven counties and 181 cities and
townships as they update their local comprehensive
plans and submit them to the Council every 10 years. By
the end of the year—the deadline for submitting updates
to local comprehensive plans—we expect to receive the
majority of the region's local plans.
The result of all this planning is seen in the prosperity
and livability of our region. Surveys consistently rate our
region as having one of the highest qualities of life in the
nation, and people born here remain in the state to work
and raise families at higher rates than most of the nation.
But our work continues. Regional prosperity is not
shared by everyone. We have large disparities on
measures of poverty, homeownership and employment
between white residents and residents of color. Our
region needs to redouble our efforts to eliminate these
disparities. It's not only the right thing to do but the
smart thing to do for our future.
Online mapping resource
pinpoints `address points'
A new regional dataset provides pinpoint accuracy to
nearly 1.2 million unique addresses within the
seven -county metro area. It will benefit a wide range
of public services from emergency response to
municipal planning.
The dataset contains unique location points assigned not
only to houses, apartments and businesses, but also to
such fixtures as water towers, power substations, transit
platforms, bridges, parks and even vacant land between
the built environment.
MetroGlS, a regional collaborative hosted and supported
by the Metropolitan Council, worked in partnership
with the state, cities and counties as well as 9-1-1 and
emergency response services to develop the dataset.
The ability to easily and readily access standardized data
from hundreds of different jurisdictions across the metro
will save time, effort and taxpayer money.
The dataset is free and available to the public via the
Minnesota Geospatial Commons. It will especially be
useful for urban planners, cartographers, researchers,
academics, developers, and journalists who need data
for a project or have other specific GIS -based uses.
Council updates transportation policies
The Metropolitan Council has
approved an update to the region's
2040 Transportation Policy Plan, which
provides a framework for how our
region will support the movement of
people and goods as we plan for a
growing region.
The 2018 update addresses trends
that have emerged since the 2040 plan
was first adopted in 2015 and includes
new information.
"This update will help guide thoughtful,
coordinated decision-making between
local units of government, the state
and the Council," said Chair Alene
Tchourumoff. "Good planning doesn't
end after creating a plan - it includes
checking in with government and
community partners to ensure the
long-term plans are on track, adjusting
as needed, and accounting for new
trends and information. This update is
the result of thoughtful collaboration."
The Council's approval in October
marks the end of a nearly
two -year-long process, involving
many stakeholders and meetings,
including technical staff, policymakers,
and people in the region. In addition,
another 150 people and organizations
submitted public comments that are
reflected in the final version of the
plan.
The Transportation Policy Plan
contains detailed information about
the region's transportation system,
including highways, transit, and
bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure.
It also addresses regional freight
movement and airports. It identifies
policies for maintaining, managing,.
and improving the region's
transportation system. Those policies
guide the investment plans for each
aspect of the system. The plan is
required by the federal government
and must be updated every five years.

updated plan.
Combined sewer overflows are history
The Metropolitan Council and City of Minneapolis have
reached another milestone in joint efforts to protect public
health and water quality. The Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency recently agreed to end a longstanding permit that
had regulated the release of combined stormwater and
wastewater overflow into the Mississippi River.
"A combined sewer overflow into the river hasn't occurred
since 2010, demonstrating that local and regional
investments to separate the systems -and to reduce inflow
and infiltration of groundwater and stormwater into the
wastewater system—are reaping benefits," said Jeannine
Clancy, Assistant General Manager for Metropolitan Council
Environmental Services.
When the wastewater system was originally constructed,
there weren't separate systems in Minneapolis and Saint
Paul to convey stormwater and wastewater—it all flowed
into the same pipes.
During rainstorms, the pipes weren't big enough to receive
all that stormwater. Overflow pipes to the river were built
to prevent sewage backups into homes and businesses.
As recently as 1984, 350 million gallons of combined
stormwater and wastewater (sewage) overflowed into the
Mississippi in one year.
But thanks to a multi -faceted, collaborative strategy, the
overflow has been eliminated.
Notably, Minneapolis and Saint Paul are the only major
metropolitan cities in the country that are no longer subject
to a permit related to combined sewer overflows. And this is
the only region that made the decision to separate the two
systems instead of building storage and treatment facilities
for combined overflow.
"We have avoided spending billions of dollars by separating
the sewers," Clancy said. "Communities across the country
are now under federal consent decrees to eliminate their
combined sewer overflows, at a cost of billions of dollars."
Household survey captures travel behavior
Transportation planners have launched a year-long survey
of how people travel across the greater Twin Cities region.
Thousands of households are expected to participate using
smartphones — a first for the region. When complete, the
survey will help state, county and local governments build
better roads and more efficient transit systems.
The Metropolitan Council, in partnership with the Minnesota
and Wisconsin Departments of Transportation, launched the
survey of 7,500 randomly selected households across 19
counties to take place through October 2019.
"This new survey is a deeper look at how people get
around the region, giving us better data and a more
complete picture of regional trends," said Council Chair
Alene Tchourumoff. "Knowing how and why people travel
in our region helps local governments make the right
transportation investments at the right time."
About a quarter of the selected households will participate
through an online survey or by phone. However most
of the data collected will come from a smartphone app
developed for the survey. It will make participation simple
and convenient by using a smartphone's GPS to securely
and anonymously gather data on trips while improving the
overall quality of information collected.
The Council has conducted this study every 10 years
since 1949. This year the Council is transitioning to
collecting data every other year using new methodologies
like smartphones to keep pace with rapid changes in the
transportation industry.
