RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT FOR A MnDOT 2021 LRIP GRANT APPLICATION FOR
THE MARKET BOULEVARD RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT
WHEREAS, Chanhassen staff have been planning for the reconstruction of Market Boulevard from
TH 5 to West 781h Street, and a preferred design was established as a part of a corridor study that was
completed in 2016; and
WHEREAS, the proposed improvements include the reconstruction of Market Boulevard to a four -
lane section to address existing operational and safety issues and provide for the access needs of the adjacent
redevelopment area; and
WHEREAS, $75 million in MnDOT Local Road Improvement Program (LRIP) funding is currently
available, with a cap of $1.25 million for each project, to help fund local improvements to roadways with
regional significance, and Market Boulevard qualifies as a regionally significant roadway; and -
WHEREAS, the estimated construction cost for the proposed improvements to Market Boulevard is
approximately $3.1 million, and the LRIP funds can be used on a majority of the elements included as a part
of the roadway reconstruction work; however, additional funding will be needed beyond the potential $1.25
million in LRIP funds; and
WHEREAS, the City of Chanhassen will be responsible for the remaining costs if the project is
successful in obtaining LRIP funds.
