Have a say in the future
 Have your say on what the County’s transportation system will look like over the next 20 years. The draft Dakota County 2030 Transportation Plan is open for public review and comment through Dec. 5.
The Plan guides the County’s existing transportation network and addresses future need. This Plan updates the 2004 Transportation Plan to:
- Identify future Co1unty transportation needs
- Provide cost estimates and sources of funding for existing and future transportation needs
- Include a 20-year investment plan based on expected revenues and priority transportation needs
- Examine goals, principles, strategies and policies to support transportation needs and investments.
Local communities and citizens worked with the County to develop the plan. The final plan will become a part of the County’s Comprehensive Plan—DC2030: Planning for the Future—that was adopted by the County Board of Commissioners in May 2009. The Plan integrates transit and other transportation modes, goal-specific issues, fact comparisons to the previous Plan, policy revisions, updated performance measures, recently completed planning activities, and system investments and accomplishments. The Plan also identifies investment needs over the next twenty years.
The 60-day comment period runs from Oct. 5 to Dec. 5, 2011. A copy of the plan is posted online and at all Dakota County Library branches. Comments may be emailed to Scott Peters at scott.peters@co.dakota.mn.us or mailed to Scott Peters, Transportation Department, Dakota County Western Service Center, 14955 Galaxie Ave., Apple Valley, MN 55124.
Public comments will help guide the finished Plan which will be finalized in winter 2012. For more information contact Scott Peters, Senior Transportation Planner by email or at 952-891-7027.
