PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED

SUMMARY
To provide a safe and efficient transportation system, Dakota County is proceeding with County Project (CP) 28-76, the CSAH 28 (80th Street) Roadway Improvements in Inver Grove Heights (Attachment: Project Location Map). CP 28-76 consists of a lane reduction, pedestrian crossing improvements, signal revisions, and a signal replacement along CSAH 28 (80th Street) between Babcock Trail and Blaine Avenue.
In order to proceed with the improvements within MnDOT’s right of way, a cooperative agreement with MnDOT is necessary. Executing MnDOT Cooperative Construction Agreement No. 1058176 will update the existing maintenance, operation, and power responsibilities for the two traffic signals located at CSAH 28 (80th street) and the Trunk Highway (TH) 52 east and west ramps.
The Agreement will allow the construction of grading, bituminous surfacing, Americans with Disabilities Act improvements, and signal modifications on the State's TH 52 right of way. The State will grant the County (and its contractors and consultants) the right to occupy the TH right of way as necessary to perform the work described in the Project Plans. The Agreement will also define maintenance operation and responsibilities for traffic control signal systems and Emergency Vehicle Preemption systems operation.
