Speed Revisions to Certain County Roads, Trunk Highways and MSA Streets in
Chanhassen - PW262E
For sometime now, the cities of Chanhassen, Chaska, Victoria, and Carver County have been
cooperatively working together to proactively plan roway infrastructure improvements to meet
the increasing demands brought on by the ral)4` pula n and business growth in eastern Carver
�.
County. Some examples of these cooperative arts are the Eastern Carver County
Transportation Study completed in 1989 c perative p�ticipation with MnDOT in the Trunk
Highway 5 improvements, continued pursuit of the propg ed Trunk Highway 212 Improvement
Project, and the proposed 10 -Year Coup ty °V Road Capital improvement Program.

' 0.5 mile north of Trunk Highway 5 to north corporate limits from 45 m.p.h. to 40 m.p.h. I have
prepared a City approved resolution addressing Kerber Boulevard and Trunk Highway 101 to be
attached to the overall petition.
' The next step would be for the MnDOT to review the submitted County /City information, and
determine whether this request should be approved, denied or if further study is needed. It
' should be noted that due to the large number of speed study requests which MnDOT receives,
it can be difficult to receive a rapid response to a single road speed issue. County and City staff
hope that this comprehensive collection of roadway speed requests will carry more weight and
' move through the process with higher priority.
It is therefore recommended that the City Council approve the joint resolution with Carver
' County requesting MnDOT to consider speed revisions to County roads in Chanhassen along with
the segment of Trunk Highway 101 from Trunk Highway 5 north to city limits and at Kerber
Boulevard from West 78th Street north to County Road 17 in Chanhassen.
