Re: Dakota County 2005 -2009 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 2005 -2009 Capital Improvement Program:
1. Right turn lane on eastbound County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 38 and by -pass lane on
westbound CSAH 38 at the intersection with Shannon Parkway.
Shannon Parkway as a Municipal State Aid route is a collector street within the City's
street system. The 2003 ADT on Shannon Parkway at the intersection with CSAH 38 is
2,800. Based on this volume of traffic and the 55 MPH speed limit on CSAH 38, the
City respectfully requests Dakota County's consideration of this item.
2. Advance street name signing on eastbound and westbound CSAH 38 for Shannon
Parkway.
3. The City of Rosemount supports the reconstruction of County Road 73 (Akron Avenue)
from CSAH 42 to the north corporate limits. Based on our discussions, it is understood .
that this project will be shifted from 2006 to 2007 to coincide with future development
adjacent to County Road 73.
I would like to note that the City of Rosemount anticipates that the section of County
Road 73 from CSAH 42 to 2 miles north of County Road 38 will be improved as an
urban section with pedestrian facilities. Also, it is anticipated that as part of this project,
the existing railroad crossing will be upgraded with a new crossing arm gate system.
This system should be designed to meet Federal Rail Authority requirements for future
establishment of a "Quiet Zone ".

Re: Dakota County 2005 -2009 Capital Improvement Program
Dear Mr. Harrington:
I am writing you in regards to the Dakota County 2005 -2009 Capital Improvement Program.
Upon review of the current 2004 -2008 Capital Improvement Program, the project page for the
proposed Rosemount Library indicates the commencement of design and construction of the
library in 2007 with the library becoming operational by the end of 2009. From earlier
discussions, it is our understanding that following the acquisition of a library site by the City of
Rosemount in 2004, the project schedule for the construction and completion of the library will
be set to have the library operational by the end of 2008.
At this time, the City of Rosemount is diligently working towards the acquisition of a site by the
end of 2004. In accordance with previous discussions, we would therefore request that the
project schedule for the design, construction and completion of the library site be modified in the
2005 -2009 Capital Improvement Program to reflect an operational date of 2008.
On behalf of the City of Rosemount, I would like to thank you for your continued support for the
successful development of a library within the City.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 651- 322 -2006.
Sincerely,
Jamie Verbrugge
City Administrator
