RESOLUTION NO. 1181
RESOLUTION APPROVING LAYOUT NO. 6
REVISED 12/4/75 FOR CSAH 62 (CROSS-
TOWN HIGHWAY) PROJECT NO. 6839
t
WHEREAS, Layout No. 6, revised 12/4/75, Project No. 6839, showing
the proposed improvement of County State Aid Highway No. 62, within the
limits of the City of Eden Prairie from Shady Oak Road to I-494, has been
prepared and presented to the City Council; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of Eden Prairie, despite serious reser-
vations and concerns regarding the capacity of the Crosstown Highway east
of Shady Oak Road and the impact of an at-grade access to said Crosstown at
Beach Road upon future land use decisions for properties in the southeast
quadrant of I-494 and the Crosstown Highway and the continued severance of
Eden Prairie residents from local road access to Bryant Lake Regional Park
located totally within the City of Eden Prairie, does believe that said
extension of the Crosstown Highway, with the following conditions, should
be approved; and
WHEREAS, the County Engineer has stated that the proposed Beach
Road intersection is properly spaced from the I-494 ramp intersection, and
• that it would be a safe intersection,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE EDEN PRAIRIE CITY COUNCIL
AS FOLLOWS:
That said layout No. 6, revised 12/4/75, be in all things
approved and the County is hereby authorized to commence acquiring
rights-of-way on the basis of said layout, subject to the following:
1. The County shall provide proper pedistrian and bicycle
access from Beach Road to Baker Road.
2. The County will agree to participate in an amount of
$250,000 to assist the City in construction of an alternate
roadway to serve the residential properties in the
southeast quadrant of I-494 and the Crosstown Highway.
Such participation shall be due at the time construction
contracts for the Crosstown are awarded.
3. It is acknowledged that the direct connection at Beach Road
to CSAH 62 is the least desirable solution for local residen-
tial access to community roads and functions and is only a
temporary solution. Active efforts shall continue to secure
approval and financing to provide a local bridge access over
I-494 from Baker Road east to Beach Road. At such time approval
and funding are authorized and construction completed, the tem-
40; porary access of Beach Road to CSAH 62 will be closed.

mercial or other non-residential uses in said southeast
quadrant, despite the at-grade access to the Crosstown
Highway at Beach Road.
5. County Road 62 (Townline Road) will be designated as a
County State Aid Highway from Scenic Heights Drive to
T.H. 101 and improvements will be made thereon to pro-
vide a properly surfaced roadway to handle anticipated
traffic between T.H. 101 and the Crosstown Highway
on or before the opening of the Crosstown Highway to
I-494.

County Road 60 (Baker Road) north of existing Valley
