Dakota County and the City of Eagan assessed Cliff Road between Johnny Cake Ridge Road and Pilot Knob Road. This project included the Thomas Center Drive-Beacon Hill Road and Thomas Lake Road-Stonecliffe Drive intersections.
Various traffic control options wereassessed to improve safety and mobility in this area. The intersection of Thomas Center Drive-Beacon Hill Road was controlled by a traffic signal and the intersection of Thomas Lake Road-Stonecliffe Drive was controlled by a side stop for traffic on the minor road.
Dakota County evaluated the appropriate intersection control at both intersections. The study also addressed crash patterns at Thomas Lake Road-Stoneciffe Drive and provided efficient traffic movement for all modes of transportation throughout the corridor. The study recommended intersection control and/or layout based on findings and public input.
