section will be completed by the second week of July. Some minor restoration and
final corrections remain.
Autumn Path – Scope includes construction of utilities and paving from Bonaire Path
north approximately 2,500 feet. Construction started in October 2020 with utility
installation complete. Trail paving is completed and sidewalk construction is
progressing. Final grading will occur after sidewalk work is finished. The construction
of retaining walls is complete and the contractor will pave the trail in June. Final
paving will be completed in the near future.
Biscayne Ave – Scope includes construction of utilities and paving between Boulder
th
Trail and 160 Street (CSAH 46). Extension of sanitary sewer will provide service to
the Biscayne Business Park on the southern end of the project. Final wear course has
been paved and this portion was seal coated as a test section to evaluate pavement
longevity. Striping the main line remains to be completed.
Bonaire Path – Scope includes construction of utilities and paving between Akron
Avenue and Anderson Drive. Additionally, the installation of crossing arms at the
Union Pacific Railroad intersection are in the scope of the project and planned as part
of this project. Ultimately, the city will request that this intersection become a quiet
zone (i.e. no train horns). Wear course and construction is anticipated to be
completed in 2021; however, that will hinge on Union Pacific completing the necessary
crossing work. Final design for rail improvements was approved by City Council at the
February 4, 2020 meeting. Draft construction agreement was finally provided by UP on
December 3, 2020. The final agreement for City Council approval was provided on
April 5, 2021 and approved by Council on April 20, 2021. Actual construction work by
UP remains unscheduled at this time. Additional communication with both MnDOT
and other Union Pacific staff is being done as well. Staff has been in contact with the
Federal Railroad Administration regarding application for a quiet zone (QZ). Because
of the design, the QZ application is expected to be approved.
Boulder Trail Extension – Scope includes the extension of Boulder Trail to MN Trunk
Highway 3 across from Canada Circle. Utility extension as needed will also be part of
this work. This will allow for future development in this area. Design proposal was
accepted on April 21, 2021. Preliminary layout is completed and detailed design is
underway.
Connemara Trail Extension – Scope includes construction of utilities and paving
from Akron Avenue east approximately 1,300 feet. Contract was awarded and work is
being planned for 2021 due to the significant workload. Change order for additional
work provides storm sewer interceptor extension, water main extension and additional
paving into the Emerald Isle development was approved. Construction work will begin
at the end of July and work will be completed this year.
Scannell Development Trunk Sanitary Sewer – Scope includes extension of trunk
th
sanitary sewer from 140 Street/MCES Lift Station to CSAH 42 on the east side of
U.S. 52. This is an expansion of the existing collection system as shown in the
Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer plan to allow future development. Design proposal
was accepted on April 21, 2021. Design is underway and anticipated to be complete
in the near future.
2
Shannon Pond Outlet Feasibility Study – Scope includes reviewing potential routes
for stormwater outlet at Shannon Pond. Because of the land locked location,
establishing an outlet will be a significant undertaking. Initial study work was received
in 2020. Information from this study will be used to establish future improvements
necessary to reduce the potential for structure flooding. Staff and consultant are
coordinating with additional authorities regarding some of the potential options
provided in the study. Updates will be provided to the Utility Commission at future
meetings as needed.
The following list is the current and planned developer projects.
st
Ardan Place 1 – Scope includes the construction of utilities and both public and

University of Minnesota, Outreach, Research and Education Park (UMore Park). This
property is planned to have a mixture of single family, multi-family and commercial

of CSAH 42. Current comprehensive planning has accounted for this expansion of the
utility systems. Staff has received a preliminary plat and is currently reviewing. The
preliminary plat will go to the Planning Commission on July 27, 2021.

be installed until trunk sewer is extended at a future date. Utilities and base course
are in place and the lift station construction is complete with minor punch list items to
st
be corrected. Wear course delayed until 2021 due to construction to the east of 131
Court.

under pass near Flint Hills Soccer Complex. Finally, it includes pavement
thst
rehabilitation for 124 Court and 121 Street. Restoration and minor punch list items

Roundabout Connemara Trail/Diamond Path – Scope preliminary engineering for
the construction of a roundabout at this intersection. This project is planned for
construction in 2022. Final design will proceed summer 2021.
CSAH 42/CR 73 (Akron Ave) Signal – Scope calls for installation of a traffic signal at
the intersection of CSAH 42 and CR 73 (Akron Ave) to address the increase in traffic
at this intersection. Design includes an extension of water main south to service
possible future development. City of Rosemount, Dakota County, Dakota County
Technical College and the University of Minnesota continue to work in partnership to
complete this project. Construction in the CSAH 42 median is complete. Work will
resume in late July/early August. Delay was caused by difficulties with easement
paper work resulting in a delay in private utility relocation.
CSAH 42 Visioning Study – This is a study that will look at nearly the entire length of
CSAS 42 starting at the western county line (Burnsville) and ending at MN Trunk
Highway 52. Future open houses and public engagement opportunities will be
promulgated as they are established. At this time most public engagement will be via
on-line comments and updates. Initial recommendations regarding intersections and
improvements are being formulated and discussed with the cities involved.
CSAH 46 Corridor Study and Preliminary Engineering – This is a study that will
look at the section of CSAH 46 from Minnesota Trunk Highway 3 to CSAH 48 in
Coates. The scope of work anticipated is right of way acquisition to support expanding
the highway to a divided four-lane. This is a high priority project for Dakota County
and since a portion of this is within Rosemount city limits a portion of the cost would be
carried by the city. This study will assist with quantifying those costs. Initial survey
work is completed.
Mississippi River Greenway – Scope includes the reconstruction of a portion of Pine
Bend Trail to allow for the completion of the Dakota County trail connection from St.
Paul to Hastings. This work will be funded by Dakota County. Additionally, the section
of Pine Bend Trail between TH 55 and the reconstructed section will be reclaimed at
city cost. This work is planned for 2022. Dakota County is in the process of securing
agreements with the rail road to allow for the trail crossing.
th
TH 3 Pedestrian Improvements – Scope includes improvements at the Lower 147
Street/TH 3 intersection and the south entrance of the park and ride lot across from
th
the Steeple Center. MnDOT is reconstructing the pedestrian ramps at Lower 147
5
Street currently and should be completed by early July. Then the contractor will move
to the Steeple Center and reconstruct the pedestrian ramp on the west side and
construct a center island median on TH 3 as a pedestrian refuge.
TH 55 Safety Improvements – Scope includes improvements along Minnesota Trunk
Highway 55 (TH 55) by adding a left turn lane to Doyle Path and increasing the truck
acceleration lane at the rail road crossing. The Toward Zero Deaths (TZD) program is
leading a working group for this project. The 30% design has been distributed for
review.
