RE: DAKOTA COUNTY STATE AID HIGHWAY 42 (CSAH 42)
AND THE PRINCIPAL ARTERIAL tP.A.) STATUS
' The purpose of this memo is to attempt to explain what the implications of the I
' P.A. status has on CSAH 42. Specifically; CSAH 42 is designated as a principal �
arterial-expressway. 1 will attempt to explain a brief history ofi CSAH 42, the
' traffic at the present and the future on CSAH 42 and the long term and short term
' implications of this principaf arterial designation for CSAH 42
' HISTORY
' CSAH 42 has functioned as a "regional" facility for a number of years.
Dakota County recognized this fact and gave CSAM 42 the functional classification
as a principal arterial in 'I987. In 1990 this functional classification as a P.A. was
noted in the Dakota County Transportation Plan. For numerous reasons this plan
was never formally adopted by the Dakota County Commissioners or Met CounciL
' However, Met Council has adopted a plan that designates CSAH 42 as a regional
, roadway and has a functional classification as a principal arterial. In April of 1993,
MNDOT adopted a plan which designates CSAH 42 as a principal arterial and, in
fact, puts it on the National Highway System.
' As a side note, the Met Councit guidefines state that all principal arterials are to be
owned and maintained by the State of Minnesota, therefore CSAH 42 could
become a State highway in the #uture.
