SUMMARY
Joe Morneau, from the Dakota County Transit Office and Project Manager for the Robert Street
study, will attend the City Council meeting to provide an update and background on the Robert Street
Transitway Alternatives Study and Dakota County transit planning in general. The presentation will
include:
• Federal Rules regulating the Study
• Work conducted to date for the Study
• The three corridors that have passed the screening thresholds:
• Robert Street to Mendota Road
• US Highway 52 to Concord Boulevard
• Concord Boulevard to I -494
• Service extension from Robert Street at Mendota Road to Rosemount /UMore
• Other Dakota County Transit Planning Projects
Eric Zweber, Senior Planner, serves on the Robert Street Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and
Mayor Droste serves on the Robert Street Steering Committee. At the January City Council Work
Session, Mr. Zweber presented background information on the three corridor alternatives and the
service extension to Rosemount. Tonight, Mr. Morneau can provide additional information on the
transit planning and Alternative Analysis process. Issues for further clarification and discussion
include:
• A service extension from US Highway 52 at Concord Boulevard to Rosemount /UMore, if the
chosen alternative.
• Local or express bus connections to the future Transitway.
• Completion of the Akron Avenue Corridor Study to determine the alignment /extension of
Akron Avenue north of Cliff Road.
• Ridership projection from Rosemount to be used in other future transit studies.
RECOMMENDATION
Mr. Morneau is present to provide a background on the Robert Street Transitway Alternative Study
and transit planning in Dakota County. The purpose of tonight's presentation is to have a
conversation with Mr. Morneau, but staff anticipates preparing a formal response /request to Dakota
County at a future City Council meeting based on the conversation topics of tonight's meeting.
Please request any topic that the City Council would like additional information.
