EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ISSUE
Staff from the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority (MVTA) recently contacted staff from the Parks and
Recreation Department regarding the possibility of using a portion of the Rosemount Community
Center /Arena parking lot for a park and ride lot. The Community Center was one of several locations that
MVTA had looked at for possible park and ride lots in Rosemount. After discussing with MVTA what
their needs were, a use agreement was drafted by the City Attorney.
The agreement allows for MVTA to use 50 to 75 parking stalls in the southwest corner of the Community
Center /Arena parking lot for a period of one year. MVTA will pay the City $150.00 per month to use the
lot and the City will provide all necessary maintenance of the area (which we already do). MVTA will be
responsible for any necessary signage and will also have an opportunity to locate a temporary bus shelter
on the property.
Because the area being looked at by MVTA is the same area that Rosemount High School students have
used for parking, staff will be proposing to have the high school students park in the Schwarz Pond Park
parking lot.
SUMMARY

from the MVTA.
