RE: Dakota County 2016-2020 Transportation Capital Improvement Program
Dear Ms. Anderson:
As requested, the City of Rosemount would offer the following comments and requests for projects
as part of Dakota County’s 2016-2020 Transportation Capital Improvement Program.
1. CSAH 42/TH 52 Interchange Project
The City of Rosemount continues to support the construction of the CSAH 42/TH 52
Interchange Project in 2017. Dakota County’s effort to secure federal funding for this
project is greatly appreciated.
2. CSAH 73 (Akron Avenue) – Bonaire Path to Inver Grove Heights
Based on the uncertainty for the timing of development along this portion of CSAH 73
(Akron Avenue) and the pending completion of the Pine Bend Area Arterial Connector
Study, the City supports continued discussions and coordination with Dakota County and
the City of Inver Grove Heights on the appropriate schedule and project scope for the
improvement of CSAH 73.
3. CSAH 42/Business Parkway/Biscayne Avenue/149th Street
The City has completed the construction of 149th Street between Business Parkway and
Biscayne Avenue. As previously discussed, 149th Street will serve as a frontage road
connection between Business Parkway and Biscayne Avenue to facilitate the direction of
local future commercial traffic to the intersection of Biscayne Avenue and CSAH 42,
identified to be signalized in the future. The city requests that a Joint Powers Agreement be
developed between Dakota County and the City for the following:
Reduction of CSAH 42/Business Parkway access from full to three-quarters;
Combined with the installation of a signal system on CSAH 42 at Biscayne Avenue;
G:\ENGPROJ\Dakota County\20150616 2016-2020 CIP Request Ltr.docx
And, combined with the determination of County funding
participation/reimbursement for a percentage of the City’s cost to construct 149th
Street.
4. CSAH 38 – CSAH 31 to TH 3
The City supports the programming of improvements to CSAH 38 (McAndrews Road)
between CSAH 31 (Pilot Knob) and TH 3 to convert the road from a 2-lane to 3-lane road
section with a center left turn lane. This is based on the recent award of federal funds for
the completion of this project.
On behalf of the City of Rosemount, I would like to thank Dakota County for its continued
inclusion of local agencies with the development of Dakota County’s 5-Year Transportation Capital
Improvement Program.
Should you have questions regarding these requests, please do not hesitate to contact me at
651.322.2025.
Sincerely,
Andrew J. Brotzler, PE
Director of Public Works/City Engineer
