We are excited about the opportunity to collaborate with the City of Northfield, the Minnesota DNR, and the community to help develop a multi-use state recreational trail that connects people walking and bicycling to numerous destinations in Northfield. Our goal is to help the City and the MNDNR develop implementable, preliminary trail design plans that are based on feasibility, constructability, and community feedback. Toole Design is uniquely suited for this project as the nation’s leading firm in multimodal and trail planning and design. We authored both the 2012 and the forthcoming editions of the AASHTO Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities, and are thus at the forefront of the next generation of trail planning and design. The Toole Design Team is known for producing trail designs tailored to the unique characteristics of the communities in which we work. We understand the unique challenges that exist with the Mill Towns State Trail segment through Northfield, like the crossing of Trunk Highway 19, right-of-way and grade challenges along Spring Creek Road, and potential wetland and flooding impacts along Spring Creek. We also recognize the great opportunities along the corridor, like connecting users to the numerous schools, parks and other destinations along the route. John Dempsey, PLA will serve as the Project Manager. John brings 15 years of experience that includes trail design, urban design and Complete Streets initiatives throughout the country. KC Atkins, P.E. will serve as Principal-in-Charge for the project. KC brings over a decade of experience in transportation engineering, including conceptual, preliminary, and final design of bicycle/pedestrian accommodations, trails, greenways, urban/rural roadways, and context-sensitive design solutions. We are proud to partner with Bolton and Menk, a civil engineering and surveying firm who brings extensive knowledge of local conditions, including working on several projects in Northfield in recent years, and having surveying and wetlands experience across the state.

They elected two. History was also made in the state’s 5th Congressional District, which includes Minneapolis, where voters for the first time elected a refugee to represent them in Washington, D.C. And after spirited challenges to the county’s top two law enforcement officials, Hennepin County voters narrowly elected a new sheriff. Those changes at the local level came as DFLers swept races for governor and the state’s other constitutional offices and a surge of support for Democratic candidates nationwide gave that party control of the U.S. House of Representatives, even as Republicans gained seats in the Senate. Minnesota’s state Legislature will be similarly split along party lines, with DFLers taking the state House from Republicans, who maintained a narrow state Senate majority.

  • 2020-2023 MN STIP.Pdf
    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.
