Farminl!ton Downtown Access
. Downtown Area Access and Traffic Circulation Study
At the time of the Main Street reconstruction project, it was proposed to close the Main Street access
at Trunk Highway 3. Due to various concerns at the time, the Council declined to effectuate the
closure and authorized the first step in performing a downtown area traffic study to determine the
effect of all the proposed closures and modifications contemplated along Trunk Highway 3. A draft
TH 3 Access Management Study map has been prepared that shows options for long term access
modifications/improvements along TH 3 in the downtown area. This map is based on the draft TH 3
access management study prepared by MnDOT in 2004. A small version of this map is attached, a
larger version will be available at the workshop.
Proposed Workshop Outcome: Council direction to staff to schedule further workshop(s) or study
group to review the TH 3 Downtown Access Management Map. After review and concurrence by
Council, authorization to perform the Downtown Traffic Circulation Study.
. Opening Soruce Street at TH 3
The City Council has indicated a desire to pursue the opening of a westerly connection of Spruce
Street to TH 3. The City's thoroughfare plan indicates this opening as Spruce Street is anticipated to
be an important east-west corridor in the City. This connection will serve both the historical
downtown and the planned new development west of Denmark Avenue.
Proposed Workshop Outcome: Council discussion with MnDOT representatives to identify the steps
necessary to work towards achieving the Spruce Street connection to TH 3. Council direction to
staff on starting the process.
Dakota County East/W est Corridor Study Phase 2
Representatives from Dakota County will briefly summarize the East - West Corridor Study Phase 2.
Council may recall that Phase 1 of the study identified four main east-west corridors, three of which
are within the City limits and one of those being a City street. They include: County Road 64, 20gth
Street and CSAH 70/74. Phase 2 of the study includes alignment refinements; a copy of the study is
attached.
Proposed Workshop Outcome: Council discussion with Dakota County. The County is ultimately
looking for Farmington's concurrence with the study via resolution.

Proposed Workshop Outcome: For Council's information. Council understanding of the process,
procedures and reasoning behind how intersection control is determined.

Discussion regarding the possible future intersection control modifications along Pilot Knob Road
including the presentation ofto date statistics/findings and potential issues.
Proposed Workshop Outcome: Council discussion with Dakota County and determination of next
steps to put into place a process to address the issues identified.
. Intersections that will be affected by new High School traffic patterns
Concerns have been expressed by the City Council and the School District regarding the intersection
at CSAH 50 and Flagstaff Avenue. It is felt that a traffic signal will be needed once the new high
school is open. Dakota County has expressed an interest in further review of the traffic study, done
as part of the High School Project, including all four major intersections that will be impacted by
traffic accessing the new school. The intersections include: CSAH 50 and Flagstaff Avenue, Pilot
Knob and Flagstaff Avenue, Pilot Knob and 19Sth Street, and 195th Street and Flagstaff. The County
feels that all four intersections will likely be impacted by the traffic generated by the new high
school.

necessity of reviewing the traffic impact study.
