Discussion Of State Trunk Highway 13 Funding
end
PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Discuss Dakota County’s participation in funding the State Trunk Highway 13 project in Scott and Dakota County.
SUMMARY
At the July 23rd, 2024, Physical Development Committee meeting it was requested that the County’s role in contributing funds to projects on the state’s trunk highway system be explored. The County regularly participates in funding projects on the County’s highway system that intersect with state trunk highways. The 2024 to 2028 Transportation Capital Improvement Program does not include funding for any projects on the state trunk highway system that do not have a direct County highway component.
The corridor project will create grade separated crossings along TH 13 from Quentin Avenue in Scott County to Nicollet Avenue in Dakota County to improve safety and mobility for vehicles and multimodal users. The County has been asked to contribute $2 million to offset costs for the Nicollet Avenue grade separation. Funding from Dakota County has been requested by Scott County to decrease the funding gap and show financial commitment as state and federal grants are pursued. It has been requested that Dakota County provide a letter stating financial commitment. Staff is seeking direction on the County’s role in participating financially in this project.
