Request MnDOT to Perform Speed Study on Trunk Highway 101 (Market
Boulevard) South of Trunk Highway 5 to 86th Street - PW262F
Staff has been working with Mayor Mancino and the property owner at 8400 Great Plains
Boulevard (Trunk Highway 101) on ways to improve sight distance for hidden driveways along
this portion of Trunk Highway 101. One alternative is to reduce the speed limit. The City's
Public Safety Department has conducted speed surveys on this stretch of roadway. The study
indicated speeds have ranged between 35 m.p.h. and 60 m.p.h. Given the hilly and curvilinear
street and blind driveways, staff is recommending that the City Council adopt a resolution
formally requesting MnDOT perform a speed study to look at lowering the speed limit from
40 m.p.h. to 35 m.p.h. With the development of Villages on the Ponds (St. Hubert's), additional
traffic is also being generated along this stretch of highway as well., Upon approval of this
request, staff will send a resolution and letter to MnDOT accordingly.
