Provide a description sufficient enough to understand the project. Indicate prominently whether
this is primarily a new trail or facility development request, an enhancement to an existing trail
or facility, or an acquisition. Make sure to include the design specifics of the project, such as the
trail width (paved multi -use bicycle /pedestrian trails must be at least 10 feet wide). Include how
this project will be immediately available for use by the general public. If this project is a phase
of a larger project, make sure to describe how it fits into the larger plan, however, focus
specifically on how the grant funds will be used. Also, explain why it is important for this project
to be funded. Use the box below.
MnDOT along with Carver and Scott Counties will be constructing a new 4,100 -foot long, four -
lane Highway 101 bridge over the Minnesota River floodplain between the existing Highway
101 Minnesota River Bridge in Shakopee and County Road 61/171ying Cloud Drive in
Chanhassen. The bridge project will be constructed above the Minnesota River 100 -year flood
stage elevation to minimize transportation disruptions caused by seasonal flooding of the
Minnesota River. The existing causeway will be removed after the bridge is constructed.
Additionally, Carver County is planning to reconstruct the Highway 101 /CSAH 61 "Y"
intersection as a roundabout to accommodate future traffic growth, and to plan for future
improvements to Highway 101 north of CSAH 61. Also, Carver County is planning to
reconstruct CSAH 61 between Bluff Creek Drive to about .2 miles east of Highway 101 with the
river bridge project. This reconstruction work is a tumback- programmed project to fully transfer
jurisdiction from MnDOT to Carver County.
Currently, there is no pedestrian corridor in this area. The new Highway 101 Minnesota River
Bridge will have a 10 -foot wide multi -use trail constructed on the west side of the bridge. The
trail bridge will be built and paid for by MnDOT and Scott and Carver Counties. To complete a
new regional trail connection, the City of Chanhassen is proposing to construct a 10 -foot wide
bituminous multi -use bicycle /pedestrian trail north of the new Highway 101 Minnesota River
Bridge and along the north side of CSAH 61 to Bluff Creek Drive. This trail will connect to the
Three Rivers Park District Minnesota River Bluff LRT Regional Trail at the trailhead facility via
Bluff Creek Drive. Also, the trail will be extended east of Highway 101 on CSAH 61 .2 miles.
The trail will be constructed under CSAH 61 at Bluff Creek at the bridge crossing. The grade -
separated crossing at CSAH 61 and Bluff Creek will provide additional safety for the trail user
and provide aesthetic views of Bluff Creek. In 2015, Hennepin County is planning to reconstruct
3.4 miles of CSAH 61 east of the Carver County project and add a trail on the north side of the
roadway. In the future when the north leg of Highway 101 is reconstructed, it is anticipated
another connection to the Minnesota River Bluff LRT Trail will be made. After the Carver
County project is constructed, the general public will immediately be able to use this regional
trail corridor from Scott County /Shakopee regional trails and the Minnesota Valley State Trail to
Carver County and to the Minnesota River Bluff LRT Regional Trail. The grant funds will be
used to help pay for the 10 -foot wide bituminous multi -use bicycle /pedestrian trail north of the
Highway 101 Minnesota River Bridge, the trail underpass of CSAH 61 and the trail segment
along CSAH 61. This trail improvement is consistent with the City of Chanhassen's 2030 trail

What considerations have been given to the needs of the intended trail user groups and are they
appropriate for the location? What attractive features exist on site or within view of the proposed
project that may bring in potential user groups to this project location? What other facilities (if
any) are on site or within the trail corridor that enhances this project? Describe what attractive
features exist on the site or within view. Use the box below.
This project will open up a new regional trail corridor between trails in Scott County and Carver
County and offers many attractive features for the multi -use bicycle /pedestrians. Currently there
is no pedestrian corridor in this area. The local governmental agencies feel strongly that this new
regional corridor link will be a great asset to the area and will allow the trail user to enjoy the
Minnesota River floodplain to a greater extent. The new regional trail will connect to the
Minnesota Valley State Trail and will utilize the Historic Holmes Street Bridge in the city of
Shakopee for this connection. This bridge was originally constructed in 1927 for vehicle traffic
but was recently rehabilitated and converted for pedestrian use only by MnDOT. The bridge was
rehabilitated to meet all current design standards and is ADA compliant. The bridge is listed on
the National Register of Historic Places. The trail user will have stunning panoramic views of
the DNR's Raguet Wildlife Management Area and the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife
Refuge on the new Minnesota River Bridge. The trail design has taken into consideration Bluff
Creek amenities, and has located the trail to take advantage of this scenic, wetlands area. The
trail corridor will pass by the City of Shakopee River Side Park and boat launch. The trail will
also be in viewing area of the MN DNR Seminary Fen property near Bluff Creek Drive. A year -
round golf center that offers a golf driving range, mini putt (indoor and outdoor) and
refreshments is located on the trail corridor that will complement the trail user's experience.
KEAl11INEJ5:
What is the current status of the project? Can the project begin immediately? What major
activities must still be accomplished before the project can begin? Will the project be completed
within the appropriation timelines? At a minimum, please reference land acquisition
requirements, status of engineering /design, and relevant permits and approvals that have /have
not been obtained for the project. Is there urgency to move ahead with this project now, and what
consequences are looming if it is not funded? Use the box below.
The agency partners are working on final design details at this time. Also, permitting and
necessary approvals are being worked on. Carver County has received positive comments from
representatives from the DNR and PCA because the causeway will be replaced by a bridge.
When the causeway is removed, the floodplain wetlands will be able to develop more naturally.
The project is on schedule for a bid date in May, 2014. Carver County is in the process of
purchasing roadway right -of -way for the project at this time. All trail improvements will be in
existing roadway right -of -way or purchased roadway right -of -way. A right -of -way
certificate /letter of compliance will be obtained by February 13, 2014. The project is anticipated
to be completed within the grant timeline. The majority of the Highway 101 Minnesota River
Bridge improvements are being funded by state bonding. The bond proceeds are set to expire in
2014 if funds are not used. If the project does not start in 2014, there is a real possibility the
state bond funds will not be available in the future.

This project will be developed using ADA guidelines. The City is working with MnDOT to
insure proper ADA standards are used in the design of this trail corridor. The trail will be
designed to Municipal State Aid standards which is ADA compliant.
114A) Describe how the trail project will connect multiple destinations and /or communities. Use
the box below.
Currently there is no pedestrian corridor in this area. The new Highway 101 Minnesota River
Bridge will have a 10 -foot wide trail constructed on the west side of the bridge. A trail will also
be constructed on the north side of CSAH 61 from Bluff Creek Drive to .2 miles east of the new
roundabout. The trail on CSAH 61 will connect to the 13 -mile long Minnesota River Bluff LRT
Regional Trail at the trailhead on Bluff Creek Drive. This LRT regional trail extends from the
city of Chaska to the city of Hopkins. In the future when the north leg of Highway 101 is
reconstructed, it is anticipated another connection to the Minnesota River Bluff LRT Regional
Trail will be made. In 2015, Hennepin County is planning to reconstruct about 3.4 miles of
CSAH 61 east of the Carver County project and add a trail on the north side of the roadway.
This trail will connect Eden Prairie Parks on CSAH 61 to the Eden Prairie trail system. The trail
will also connect to the Minnesota Valley State Trail in Scott County and City of Shakopee's
trails. Trail users will immediately be able to use this trail corridor from the Scott
County /Shakopee regional trail and the Minnesota Valley State Trail to Carver County and to the
Minnesota River Bluff LRT Regional Trail after the project is completed. This trail
improvement project is a key link that will connect multiple destinations and communities' trail
systems together. The proposed regional trail improvements will be one of only a few pedestrian
crossings of the Minnesota River in the region.

trail will connect to the Minnesota Valley State Trail in the city of Shakopee /Scott County and
the Minnesota River Bluff LRT Trail in the city of Chanhassen/Carver County. The trail will
connect to the City of Shakopee's Hubert, Riverside and Memorial parks and connect to
Shakopee Valley Campground in downtown Shakopee via the Minnesota Valley State Trail. The
re Tonal trail will connect to the high ualit wetlands and natural area along Bluff Creek.
14D) Describe how the trail project contributes to the overall connectivity of the trail system in
the area. Specifically, how well does the project connect existing trail networks or fill critical
gaps within the trail system? How well does the project help promote connectivity among trail
networks statewide? Use the box below.
Currently there is no pedestrian corridor crossing of the Minnesota River on Highway 101. The
new regional connection will fill a critical trail gap between state, regional and local trails in
Carver County, Hennepin County and Scott County. This trail connection will be a key trail link
between the trail systems of Chaska, Chanhassen, Eden Prairie and the Minnesota River Bluff
LRT Regional Trail to Scott County, City of Shakopee trail system and the Minnesota Valley
State Trail. The trail will serve as a key link between the trail systems north and south of the
Minnesota River. The trail will promote usage of trails north and south of the Minnesota River
because the new trail will offer stunning panoramic views of the Minnesota River floodplain and
create a trail destination that previously was not available.
Revised 1/15/2013
15 NATURAL RESOURCE IMPACT:
Describe the potential impact to natural resources by the project and efforts to avoid or mitigate
adverse effects. This includes considerations for trail design and construction practices, noise,
odors, dust control measures, surface erosion, fish and wildlife populations, damage to wetlands
or other ecologically sensitive natural resources, landscaping that includes native planting, and
historical/archaeological sites. Also, demonstrate the compatibility of the proposed project with
existing adjoining land uses. To the extent possible, all landscaping or plantings that are done in
the project area must be native to Minnesota and preferably of the local ecotype, and describe
below how this project will comply with this requirement.
The Highway 101 Minnesota River Bridge improvements will remove the existing causeway
between Scott and Carver Counties which will allow natural river flow of the floodplain. This
improvement will allow for more natural river floodplain wetland vegetation to become
established. The project is an overall benefit to the natural area.
Currently the roadway storm water runoff from Highway 101 and CSAH 61 is not treated before
discharging into the Minnesota River floodplain. The bridge design will include filtration basin
ponds to help treat the bridge runoff before it discharges into the Minnesota River. CSAH 61
will have storm water ponds constructed to pretreat the roadway runoff and for storm water rate
control prior to discharging into the floodplain. Some wetlands will be impacted by the bridge
and roadway project. These impacts are small compared to the benefit of removing the
causeway. The wetlands that are impacted will be mitigated on site as much as possible. All
landscaping and restoration plantings will be native to Minnesota.
The contractor will employ best management practices to limit dust and sediment from leaving
the construction site. Erosion control and construction storm water mitigation plans will be part
of the construction documents. Also through the permit process, significant efforts will be
incorporated into the design using best management practices to limit impacts to fish and
wildlife.
A significant amount of the excavation and soil correction work for CSAH 61 will take place
during the fall and winter months of 2014/2015. Constructing most of CSAH 61 during the fall
and winter months will reduce potential environmental impacts because of low storm water
runoff potential during this time period.
The trail underpass will provide a safe alternative route for critters to cross CSAH 61 from the
natural corridor area along Bluff Creek to the Minnesota River Valley floodplain.
The land use in this area is mainly business and is compatible for a trail corridor. A year -round
golf center that offers a golf driving range, mini putt (indoor and outdoor) and refreshments is
located on the trail corridor that will complement the trail user experience.

the Cities of Shakopee and Chanhassen. Carver County will also be making road and pedestrian
improvements to CSAH 61 with the flood mitigation project.
The City of Chanhassen plans to construct a trail from the TH 101 Flood Mitigation Project to
CSAH 61, connecting this new trail to the Minnesota River Bluff LRT Regional Trail. These
new trails will also connect to the City of Eden Prairie trail system along CSAH 61.
These proposed trail improvements will connect regional destinations in the southwest
metropolitan region including significant Federal, State and local public lands in addition to
commercial centers.
Again, please accept this letter of support for the City of Chanhassen's application for the
Minnesota Department of Natural Resource's Local Trail Connection Grant for regional trail
