Approve MnDOT Permit to Construct.docx EXECUTIVE SUMMARY City Council Meeting: July 7, 2020 AGENDA ITEM: Approve MnDOT Permit to Construct AGENDA SECTION: Consent PREPARED BY: Brian Erickson, P.E. Director of Public Works/City Engineer AGENDA NO. 6.i. ATTACHMENTS: MnDOT Zero Dollar Permit to Construct for Governmental Entities; Ped Ramp Design APPROVED BY: LJM RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve MnDOT Permit to Construct to allow for the construction of pedestrian improvements on MN Highway 3. BACKGROUND The City of Rosemount has been working with the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) to install pedestrian improvements along the downtown area of Rosemount. Initially, the plan was for the City of Rosemount to complete these improvements. However, MnDOT has taken this project and at this point has prepared a design for a crosswalk at the intersection of Lower 147th Street and MN Highway 3 and at the southern entrance of the park and ride lot near the Steeple Center. In particular, the Steeple Center crossing will construct a raised median in Hwy 3 as a pedestrian refuge. Currently, MnDOT is planning for this construction to occur in 2021 and there is no city cost share for this work. The City Attorney has reviewed this permit and had no comments. Staff will continue to work with MnDOT on other requirements as needed. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that City Council approve the MnDOT Zero Dollar Permit to Construct for Governmental Entities.
