Enclosures: none
Carver County Public Works has the following comments regarding the proposed 2040
Comprehensive Plan amendment and the Arboretum Area Transportation Plan:
a. The Arboretum Area Transportation Plan (Plan) is a transportation planning
document that identifies transportation improvements for highway corridors in
and around the MN Landscape Arboretum including TH 5. The planning process
was a coordinated, two-year process highlighted by significant public
engagement and consensus building efforts to develop a future transportation
improvement vision. The Plan includes a detailed investment and
implementation plan for short, mid, and long-term transportation projects in the
study area.
b. Crimson Bay Rd. is recommended to have its access onto TH 5 closed with
access connected north to 78th St.
c. The Plan identifies TH 5 as a future bridge over Lake Minnewashta in the location
near the subject property. This concept recommendation and vision will be
studied further; however, agency and community input advised towards the
importance of reconnecting the wetland and lake area by constructing a
bridge of TH 5 over Lake Minnewashta.
Thank you for considering Carver County’s comments. You are welcome to contact me
for further clarification.
Sincerely,
Adriana Atcheson, Planner
