Liransportation System Study
Expected Study Outcomes
There is a need to develop a plan that will result in safe and efficient travel
in thy:. area as cost effectively as possible, while at the same time supporting
land use plans for the area that accomplish the objectives of the City of
Rosemount, Empire Township, the University of Minnesota, the Department
of Natural Resources, and Dakota County.
This study will develop a balanced plan that achieves the following:
o Tho Transportation Ran identifies the need for a connection of County Road (CR) 79 in
Empire Township to County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 71 in Rosemount. This connection
should be planned for in a way that supports its function and works in concert with future plans
for "Vermillion Highlands and UMore Park.
o The function and potential connections of Biscayne Avenue and CR 73 both need to be
clarified so they can support planned development.
o The connectivity and function of 170th Street.
o UMore concepts show a potential realignment of CSAH 46, and a number of new local street
connections to CSAH 46. This should be reviewed to ensure consistency with the County's
arterial standards.
o A plan that includes new roadways (that do not currently exist) if they help accomplish the
study objectives.
o Coordination and connectivity of the local roadway system between Rosemount, Empire
Township, and the University. This would include a coordinated plan for public access to
Vermillion Highlands, DNR /University owned Wildlife Management Area (WMA) and Aquatic
Management Area (AMA), and County parkland.
o Coordination of access to CSAH 42 with planned supporting roadways in Rosemount and the
potential UMore development.
o A plan to address interim system issues related to existing and future aggregate mining in the
area. In addition, address how roadway system plan affects the phasing of UMore Park,
including mining activity.
o Planned land uses are compatible with the planned transportation system and vice versa, and
roadways are used to support/benefit and uses (e.g. serve as boundaries/buffers between
land uses).
o An understanding of and consideration for the challenges related to Trunk Highway 3,
including principal arterial function, capacity needs, funding challenges, and land use
compatibility in downtown Rosemount.
o General alignments of greenways and major trails should be identified and coordinated with
the transportation elements considered within this study (e.g. future highway crossings,
overpass, and underpass locations).

MOVING TOWARD OUR GOAL■■■
The Highway 52
Freeway Partnership
is a collaboration between
Dakota, Goodhue and
Olmsted Counties in
association with Mn /DOT to
advocate upgrading Highway
52 to a freeway design.
We are pleased to report that progress has been
made in achieving the vision of a modern Highway
52 freeway facility between Rochester and the Twin
Cities. Four interchanges and five overpasses are
completed. However, we still have a long way to go
in order to make our vision a reality for the travelers
and business people who rely on this important
interregional corridor to get their goods to market and
their employees to work.
Background Information
Highway 52 is a High Priority Interregional
Corridor connecting Rochester to the Twin Cities
and Interstate 494 to Interstate 90.
Highway 52 is the Only Corridor in the state of
Minnesota that links a major* city (Rochester) to the
Twin Cities and is not a Freeway.
Highway 52 is a Corridor "at Risk" of not meeting its
performance goals in the future. The corridor is at risk
for signal proliferation, safety and congestion, caused
by increasing levels of traffic and unmanaged access
to roadside development.
Results of the safety audit conducted by Mn /DOT
in 2002 concluded that the two biggest issues
contributing to crashes on Highway 52 are a lack
of acceptable gaps for merging and high vehicle
speeds.
Defined as a Level One Regional Trade Center by
the University of Minnesota's Center for Urban and
Regional Affairs.
Safety on Highway 52
Between 1996 and 2006, there were 69
fatalities on the corridor. That is 69
fatalities too many!
Highway 52 has been designated a "Toward
Zero Deaths Corridor (TZD)." TZD is a
Minnesota interagency partnership with the
mission "to move Minnesota toward zero deaths
on our roads, using Education, Enforcement,
Engineering and Emergency Services." In terms
of public recognition, "Highway 52 is the most
infamous corridor in the TZD program." Achieving
the Highway 52 Vision will help accomplish this
important goal.
In partnership, we can
accomplish great things.
The Highway 52 Freeway
Partnership looks forward
to working with you!

Corridors were developed based
on the following design criteria:
60 mile per hour design speed
1,500 minimum curve radius
150 right -of -way corridor, which could
accommodate up to a 4 -lane road
All remaining corridors
options are are conceptual
and can be revised.
Option 9B
Option 10A;
1 Li h-C+ -E
For all remaining north -south corridor options,
connections from Hwy. 50 to south of Farmington
would be determined in later studies.
For all remaining north -south corridor options,
connections to other roads north of CSAH 42
would be determined in later studies.
