DATE:
SUBJ:
Suspend Highway 101 Turnback Discussions - Project No. 97-1~
REOUESTED ACTION
Direct staffto suspend discussions with MnDOT, Hennepin County, Dakota
County, and Eden Prairie for tumback of Highway 101 from Townline Road to
Highway 5.
DISCUSSION
Staff has been working with MnDOT, Hennepin County, Dakota County, and
Eden Prairie to discuss a two-lane option for turn back of the section of Highway
101 trom Townline Road to Highway 5. These discussions have reached an
impasse and it is apparent that an agreement is not imminent.
Because of other priorities that require increased staff attention and the stalemate
that has been reached, it is recommended that Council direct that staff efforts to
find a workable tumback agreement for the section of Highway 101 from
Townline Road to Highway 5 be scaled back. Staff will continue to communicate
and meet with MnDOT, Hennepin County, Dakota County, and Eden Prairie if
requested by those agencies, but staff would no longer attempt to initiate
discussions regarding the Highway 101 tumback.
