BACKGROUND
With the current demand for trucking from the mining and construction in south-central Rosemount,
development in the Business Park, along with anticipated future development of the University of
Minnesota property, City Project 2020-01 is proposed to convert Biscayne Avenue from the existing rural
gravel section to a paved section. The project would also include installation of trunk sanitary sewer and
stormwater improvements.
On September 4, 2018 the Council approved a contract for engineering services with Bolton & Menk for
Biscayne Avenue Improvement Project, City Project 2020-01. Bolton & Menk authored a report on the
feasibility of this project. Detailed project information is included in the Feasibility Report, available on file
in the Engineering Department. The report found this project, as proposed, to be feasible, cost effective,
and necessary.
On February 7, 2019 staff hosted an open house for the property owners adjacent to Biscayne Avenue and
property owners within the Business Park. Three property owners attended. A common concern was
speeding on Biscayne Avenue and people dumping debris on the roadside. Staff also heard concerns about
the drainage and spring flooding affecting the properties on the west side of Biscayne.
The resolution calls the Public Improvement Hearing on October 15, 2019, which is a necessary step
under the Minnesota Statutes Chapter 429. A full presentation of the proposed improvements will be
made at that Hearing.
COSTS & FUNDING
The Feasibility Report estimated the project cost at $4,922,000 as tabulated below:
This project is proposed to be funded in partnership with the University of Minnesota. It is scheduled in
the 2019-2028 CIP. The City funding will include a combination of MN State-Aid funds, utility core funds,
and special assessments of benefitting properties. A preliminary assessment roll is included in the
Feasibility Report, additional benefit appraisal work is being performed which may adjust the amount to be
assessed. Further discussion will be held on this prior to the assessment hearing to be scheduled in the
spring of 2020.
February 5, 2019, City Council passed a resolution supporting submission of a Local Road Improvement
Program (LRIP) Grant from the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) in the amount
$1,000,000. The grant was submitted on March 1, 2019. Unfortunately, for that grant cycle, no funding
was available, but MnDOT was seeking applications in order to demonstrate the need for continued
funding and support by the legislature. As additional grant opportunities arise, staff will apply as
appropriate.
