PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Authorize staff to submit County Project (CP) 47-047, County State Aid Highway (CSAH 47) from Trunk Highway (TH) 50 to CSAH 86, CP 47-048, CSAH 47 from CSAH 86 to TH 3, and CP 99-013, CSAH 46 from TH 3 to US 52 in the cities of Rosemount, Coates, and Empire to the Minnesota Department of Transportation's 2025 Local Road Improvement Program (LRIP).
SUMMARY
The LRIP was established by the Minnesota legislature in 2002 and is defined in Minnesota Statute ?174.52. In 2025, the legislature appropriated $47,000,000 in general obligation bonds for the LRIP with a maximum request amount of $1,500,000. The LRIP grant provides funding through three separate programs: the Trunk Highway Corridor Account, the Routes of Regional Significance Account, and the Rural Road Safety Account. Applications are due December 12, 2025.
Staff is proposing to submit CP 47-047 and CP 47-048 to the Rural Road Safety Account through the LRIP grant. The Rural Road Safety Account funds capital safety improvement projects on County State Aid Highways primarily to reduce traffic crashes, deaths, injuries, and property damage. Funds from this account are eligible for use on County State Aid Highways only.
Staff is also proposing to submit CP 99-013 to the Routes of Regional Significance account through the LRIP grant. The Routes of Regional Significance Account provides funds for the costs of constructing or reconstructing city streets, county highways, or town roads, with statewide or regional significance. See attachment for project locations.
