The City ordered a speed study to be camplet d on Dodd Road from 120th
Street to its intersection with Trunk Highwa 3 last fall. This was
after considerable di�cussion on possible im rovements to Dodd Road.
MnDOT has recently completed the speed study and it has determ�.ned a
reasonable and safe speed for the referenced street. MnDOT has
determined that the speed limit should be se at 40 m.p.h. between
120th Street and Trunk Highway 3 . This spee limit is contingent upon
the appropriate signage being installed for urves and intersectian
with appropriate warning signs per th.e' Minne ota Manual on Uniform
Traffic Control Devices .
Our next plan of action is �o send a memo ou to interested people
(and Council) along Dodd Road informing them of the MnD�T speed study.
The memo will include information on traffic counts and studies that
Staff has completed on Dodd Road. We will e courage that the
neighborhaod group get together and come }aae to Staff with a mutually
agreed upon action as to future improvements to Dodd Road. We will
then come back to Council with their request
Staff continues to recommend that improvemen s to the road should be
considered only if they meet or exceed City tandards for this type of
roadway.
Staff recommends that Council adopt a resolu ion to set the sgeed
limit as stipulated by MnDOT.
