BACKGROUND
Dakota County CDA strives to have a comprehensive housing needs assessment conducted every five
years to better understand the current housing stock and future housing needs for the County. The last
housing needs assessment was completed in March 2020.
Bowen National Research was selected in March 2024 to conduct a comprehensive housing needs
assessment for Dakota County and the 11 largest cities in Dakota County (populations more than
10,000). The study considered demographic characteristics and trends, economic conditions, and the
current existing housing stock to identify housing gaps by affordability and tenure (rental versus
ownership). The study includes individual sections for each of the 11 largest cities.
Patrick Bowen, founder and President of Bowen National Research, will present findings from the
study virtually as part of the engagement with Dakota County CDA, and answer any questions on the
local housing climate based on this research.
The full report is posted on the CDA’s website at: dakotacda.org/wp-

related specifically to Rosemount is in Addendum L - starting on page 494.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
City Council Work Session: April 1, 2025
AGENDA ITEM: US Highway 52/Trunk Highway 55/CSAH 42 Phase I
Corridor Study Update & Final Report
AGENDA SECTION:
DISCUSSION
PREPARED BY: Nick Egger, Public Works Director AGENDA NO. 2.b.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Receive update and provide feedback.
BACKGROUND
Representatives from MnDOT, along with study lead engineering consultant KLJ, will provide a
summary of the final report recommendations from the Highway 52/Highway 55/County Road 42
Phase I Study.
The primary recommended scope elements are as follows:
• Remove the existing flyover bridge carrying traffic from southbound US Highway 52 to
eastbound Highway 55
• Expand CSAH 42 to 4-lanes between US Highway 52 and the eastern leg of Trunk Highway 55,
converting this route into the new Trunk Highway 55
• Create two loops on the southern side of CSAH 42 for entry and exit from US Highway 52, to
accommodate the following movements:
o Southbound US Highway 52 to Eastbound Highway 55
o Eastbound CSAH 42/Highway 55 to Northbound US Highway 52
• Connect the former Highway 55 to 117th Street on the west with a new segment, and connect
the "old" Highway 55 on the east end to the new 4-lane Highway 55. This stretch would
become a local collector road owned and operated by the City, after MnDOT makes the
connection improvements and reconditions the stretch in between.
The entirety of the work scope is currently estimated at $55-$68 Million, and the work would be
programed to occur in a series of projects from 2032-2036, provided all necessary funding materializes.
The City's anticipated cost-share at this point in time would be in the range of $1-$3 million.
