BACKGROUND
The 2021 construction season is well underway and this year will again see a significant
amount of work being done. The following list is the current and planned City of Rosemount
projects. There are additional developments that are in early stages of the process and those
will be added as appropriate. Changes since the last report are shown as strike out for
deletions and underlined for additions as well as a bar along the left margin to indicate the
changes. Minor grammatical corrections and updates will not be highlighted.
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 and sidewalk is completed. Contractor complete
concrete repairs and paving is scheduled for the week of October 18. last week of
September.
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 is tentatively scheduled for spring 2022. 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 complete and detailed design is 90%
complete 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

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 some minor alignment
adjustments are needed but final design will be complete this year.
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.
