Adjourn DAKOTA COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION Date: 7/23/2019 AGENDA ITEM: Spring Lake Park Reserve – Draft Preferred Concept and Phasing (information) PURPOSE Provide Planning Commission: 1. A summary community feedback on the Spring Lake Park Reserve Concept Alternatives. 2. An opportunity to provide feedback on the recommended Long-term and Ten-year concepts. 3. An opportunity to identify the five-year priorities for implementation. 4. An opportunity to provide feedback on the draft Interpretive Framework. BACKGROUND From April to July, the community had the opportunity to review and provide input on two concepts for Spring Lake Park Reserve. During that time, over 900 unique individuals engaged with the plan and provided over 200 comments, all on on-line platforms. Based on that input, Draft Long-term and Ten-year concepts have been prepared for the park. These concepts will be the foundation for development of the draft Master Plan and Natural Resource Management Plan documents in the next phase of the project. It is anticipated that the Planning Commission will review the draft plan documents in fall 2020. ATTACHMENTS A. Phase 2 Community Engagement Summary. Please focus your review on summary information on the first two pages. The full comments and meeting summaries are included for your reference. B. Draft Spring Lake Park Reserve Preferred Plan. The documents include: a. Natural Resources Management Plan Overview The diagrams show the long-term goals, vision, and strategies for park restoration. b. Long-term and Ten-year Concept Diagrams The Long-term concept provides a vision for the park and identifies projects that could be accomplished with external funding and partnerships, if opportunities become available. The Ten-year concept represents what can be expected to be accomplished over the life of the Master Plan and Natural Resources Management Plan, based on past County funding levels. c. Spring Lake Park Concepts Projects Prioritization The prioritization table and graphic are intended to assist with Planning Commission review of the draft concept plans and priorities. Information includes planning level capital cost estimates, preliminary operations and maintenance cost implications, how well each project meets the guiding principles, cost benefit, and community support. The five-year recommendations will assist the County Board in the preparation of the County’s five-year Capital Improvement Program. Please note if you feel any of the projects should change in priority, for discussion at the meeting. d. Interpretive Framework QUESTIONS The following questions are intended to help assist in review of the packet materials. 1. Are the Draft Long-term and Ten-year plans responsive to community needs and preferences? 2. What is the most important improvement or set of improvements to accomplish in the next five years? 3. Do you have any comments or suggestions related to the Interpretive Framework?

    395 John Ireland Blvd. St. Paul, MN 55155 October 15, 2019 To the Reader: The State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) is a comprehensive four-year schedule of planned transportation projects in Minnesota for state fiscal years 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. These projects are for state trunk highways, local roads and bridges, rail crossings and transit capital and operating assistance. This document represents an investment of over $6.7 billion in federal, state, and local funds over the four years. This document is the statewide transportation program in which MnDOT, local governments, and community and business interest groups worked together in eight District Area Transportation Partnerships (ATPs) to discuss regional priorities and reach agreement on important transportation investments. This state process was developed in response to the Federal “Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991” which focused on enhanced planning processes, greater state and local government responsibility, and more citizen input to decision making. The process has continued under the following acts: The 1998 Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21); the 2005 Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU); the 2012 Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21); and the 2015 Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act (FAST), signed into law December 4, 2015. Any questions and comments on specific projects included in this program may be directed to the identified MnDOT District Transportation office listed in the Program Listing sections of the document. To further assist you in using this information, a searchable database will be available by October 2019 on the Internet at: http://www.dot.state.mn.us/planning/program/stip.html To request any MnDOT document in an alternative format, please call 651-366-4720.

  • Robert Street Pedestrian Underpass
    River to River Greenway - DRAFT 8 -2016 ROBERT STREET PEDESTRIAN CROSSING STUDY Dakota County Greenway Guidelines The 2010 Dakota County Greenway Guidebook provides a framework for design and development for county-wide greenways. One of the main design objectives is to create an interconnected system of greenways with a natural design signature that improves water quality, enhances wildlife habitat, provides first-class linear recreation, and increases mobility. Grade separated crossings are a critical component of the greenway system. They ensure safety, security, and to establish the greenway system as a truly special and high-quality destination. Greenway Design Features f Greenway has a consistent design with natural signature and high quality support facilities f Trail is away from roads 80% of the time and is maintained as a year-round facility f Grade separated crossings at major roads f Greenway links recreation destinations and commercial centers f Universally accessibility f Wayfinding Source: 2010 Dakota County Greenway Guidebook The River to River Greenway Road Crossings The River to River Greenway travels 8 miles from the Minnesota River to the Mississippi River though the comminutes of Mendota Heights, West St. Paul, and South St. Paul. In keeping with the Greenway Guidebook, the River to River Greenway Master Plan recommends grade-separated at all major intersections along the greenway. Grade separation promotes safety by reducing conflicts with motorized traffic and allows for more efficient and enjoyable trail experience for users of all abilities. Currently, there 19 road crossings; 5 are grade separated and 14 are at-grade. The Master Plan recommends two additional grade separated crossings at Robert Street and Dodd Blvd.
