end
PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
• Accept jurisdictional transfer of 185th Street between County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 9 (Dodd Boulevard) and CSAH 23 (Cedar Avenue) from the City of Lakeville
• Designation of 185th Street between CSAH 9 (Dodd Boulevard) and CSAH 23 (Cedar Avenue) as a County State Aid Highway
• Authorize the Physical Development Director to execute an amendment to the joint powers agreement (JPA) with the City of Lakeville for County Project (CP) 60-28
SUMMARY
To provide a safe and efficient transportation system, Dakota County partnered with the City of Lakeville on CP 60-28. County Project 60-28 is the design engineering, right-of-way acquisition, construction, and construction administration for future CSAH 60 (185th Street) as an urban divided roadway, on new alignment from CSAH 9 (Dodd Boulevard) to Highview Avenue (Attachment: Location Map). County Project 60-28 includes construction of a proposed roundabout at CSAH 60 (185th Street) and Highview Avenue, pedestrian underpasses of 185th Street and Highview Avenue and a proposed signal at CSAH 23 (Cedar Avenue). The City of Lakeville is the lead/coordinator for CP 60-28 along Alignment C (185th Street) in the adopted Dakota County East-West Corridor Preservation Study, June 2003 (Attachment: East West Corridor Map).
The East-West Corridor Study adopted by the Dakota County Board of Commissioners by Resolution No. 03-285 (May 20, 2003) included functional and jurisdictional recommendations. The identification of 185th Street through the City of Lakeville as a future County minor arterial route was included in the recommendations. Several improvement projects (County Project 60-28, 97-163, and CP 97-206) serve as the basis for the jurisdictional transfer and designation of 185th Street as a County State Aid Highway between CSAH 9 (Dodd Boulevard) and CSAH 23 (Cedar Avenue).
An amendment to the existing JPA for CP 60-28 is necessary to extend eastern termini from the intersection at Highview Avenue to the intersection at CSAH 23 (Cedar Avenue). The amendment will provide scope for developing a design and constructing a signal at the intersection of CSAH 23 (Cedar Avenue). Designation of 185th Street as a County State Aid Highway 60 will allow Dakota County to use CSAH funds for construction of CP 60-28. Dakota County will assume maintenance of CSAH 60 (185th Street) with the completion of CP 60-28 (Attachment: 185th Street Extension Layout).
Minn. Stat. § 162.02, subd. 7 and Mn/DOT rules require County Board action to occur on all designations. Following County Board action, City Council action of concurrence for designation of CSAH status is required. This segment of 185th Street is currently on the City of Lakeville city street system. The City is in the process of revoking MSA designation on 185th Street, and the City intends to act on the proposed CSAH designation following County Board action.
The State Constitution directs, through the Minnesota Highway User Tax Distribution Fund, that Minnesota’s 87 counties shall receive CSAH funds from State-collected motor fuel taxes, motor vehicle sales taxes, and motor vehicle license fees. These funds can only be used for eligible road and bridge construction and maintenance expenses on CSAHs officially designated through the State Commissioner of Transportation.
In October 2012, the County State Aid Screening Board approved 39.6 additional miles on the Dakota County CSAH system. This system designation of 185th Street was included in that approved request.
RECOMMENDATION
recommendation
