HENNEPIN COUNTY, MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION NO. 344
A RESOLUTION STATING THE VILLAGE OF EDEN PRAIRIE' S
REACTION TO THE T.H. 169-212 CORRIDOR LOCATION STUDY
BE IT RESOLVED by the Village Council of the Vi 1 ] age of Eden Prairie,
County of Hennepin, Minnesota as follows:
1 . Both of the proposed System D corridors have been studied and
considered in the development of the Village' s Comprehensive
Guide Plan and are acceptable in principle.
2. The concept of a single interchange in the segment of the System
D 169-18 corridor between County Road 62 and Interstate 494 is
acceptable provided the type and design of that interchange is
sufficient to accommodate the scale and intensity of the
industrial traffic which will be generated in the future.Because
of the di s-si mi ] ari ty of the land uses on either side of the
freeway in this segment, an additional grade separation for
continuity of local traffic is neither necessary or desirable.
3. Eden Prairie should have a minimum of two points of access to
the segment of the proposed System D 4 69-18 corridor between
Interstate 494 and the Minnesota River. This segment should
contain two additional grade separations for local traffic
connections to and from Bloomington. The locations of each
of these facilities must recognize the thoroughfare plans of
both Eden Prairie and Bloomington.
La. The segment of the System D 212 corridor route between County
Road 18 and Interstate 494 is consistent with the plans which
the Village has previously approved for constr«ction.
5. The Village must have at least three points of access to 'the
segment of the Systern D 212 corridor west of the Interstate 494.
Access to the crest leg of the 494-212 interchange ring route
system is a top priority. Additional access locations could be
at Mitchell Road, County Road 4 and/or Venture Road. Grade
separations at these location are essential.
6. System D traffic volume projections for T.H. 5 suggest probable
improvement of that roadway to expressway standards. If the
design requirements for merging the T.H. 5 and T.H. 212 volumes
will foreclose the possibility of developing local access between
T.H. 212 and the Village' s proposed 494-212 interchange ring
route system, then the Village must request that the T.N. 5
traffic generated from locations west of the metropolitan area
be diverted to a more appropriate route.
