III. Bike and Pedestrian Transportation Master Plan
Direction For Consideration:
Receive a presentation of the final draft of the Bike and Pedestrian Transportation Master Plan
(BPTMP) and provide feedback to staff and the consultant for incorporation and/or direction to
forward the plan for future Council action of final approval.
Facts:
The City Council has demonstrated that enhancements to the bike and pedestrian
transportation opportunities in Eagan are a priority through past actions. To support
Council interest in further enhancing and prioritizing bike and transportation features
within the community, a draft BPTMP has been prepared.
On October 7, 2019, the City Council received a presentation of the Draft Bike and
Pedestrian Transportation Master Plan (BPTMP) and provided feedback to staff and the
consultant for incorporation into the draft plan.
The BPTMP recognizes the current bike and pedestrian transportation system and creates
a vision for the City’s future network of sidewalks and trails. The BPTMP inventories the
existing on-street and private bicycling facilities and routes within the city and in adjacent
cities in proximity to the Eagan boundaries. Together with the identification of public
facilities, commercial retail centers, and bicycle user employment centers, this data is
utilized to recommend bicycle and pedestrian related improvements throughout the city.
The BPTMP reflects current and future needs of the community regarding a bike and
pedestrian transportation system and accommodates a financially responsible way of
improving the system over the next twenty years.
The BPTMP is a joint effort between the Parks and Recreation Department and the Public
Works Department due to the responsibilities the departments share for ensuring the
appropriate condition and extent of the physical bike and pedestrian transportation
system and its successful use within the community. The departments are equally sharing
in the cost of the plan development ($50,000).
The BPTMP Advisory Committee, consisting of City staff and representatives of other
agencies, local businesses and city residents, guided the plan preparation through four
meetings and homework assignments.
The recommendations of the BPTMP increase accessibility, remove barriers, confirm
missing gaps in the current system and enhance safety for people of all ages to be active
on the city’s trail and sidewalk system. Incorporation of the recommendations will
improve overall walkability and bike-ability in Eagan, and create safe routes to parks,
schools and other common walking and biking destinations for travelers of the City.
Plan recommendations encourage the Council’s consideration of revising current
standards for Minor Collectors to include an additional sidewalk or safety lane within the
public right-of-way. Such consideration could occur after plan approval.
BPTMP recommendations include improvements that have not been included in previous
CIPs or are not compliant with current standards. Approval of the plan and incorporation
of such recommended improvements will require funding not currently addressed in
existing funding accounts. It is anticipated that the Major Street Fund would be
designated to provide funding for such improvements.
Members of the BPTMP Advisory Committee also encourage the Council’s consideration
of the addition of recommendations for greater advocacy for bicycling and pedestrians,
making the plan an advocate for specific modes of transportation in addition to the typical
role of infrastructure provider. If the Council were to support such a role, it would be
advisable to have the Bicycle Alliance of Minnesota (BikeMN.org) review the BPTMP and
provide recommendations for such advocacy.
The draft BPTMP has been forwarded to the Advisory Parks Commission and Planning
Commission for review prior to this return to the City Council for review prior to final
approval before the end of the year.
A consequence of the impacts of COVID-19 has delayed the BPTMP’s proposed schedule.
The original schedule was established to allow the incorporation of some of the
recommended improvements in the 2021-2025 CIP for Public Works or Parks. The
schedule delay will reset the Public Works and Parks CIP considerations to 2021 for the
2022-2026 CIPs.

Project Purpose
Walking and bicycling are important forms of transportation within a community. In past times, when
planning for transportation systems, facilities for pedestrians and bicyclists were often overlooked.
Today, integrating pedestrian and bicycle facilities in all levels of infrastructure is a primary objective
of the planning process because providing safe and connected facilities for pedestrians helps create a
vibrant and welcoming community. The purpose of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Master
Plan is to recognize the importance of walking and bicycling in Eagan and to develop a vision for a
future where pedestrians and bikers can navigate the city safely and effi ciently alongside other modes of
transportation.
Eagan has a very robust trail and sidewalk network throughout the city. This network is important for
health, safety and transportation purposes. There is a large portion of the population that doesn’t drive
or own a car. People who cannot aff ord a car, people with disabilities, and/or people who choose not to
drive face many challenges accessing grocery and retail centers, workplaces, medical appointments, and
schools.
The process for this plan included inventorying the existing trail and sidewalk facilities, developing
a vision and goals for the future of the City’s pedestrian and bicycle system, identifying gaps and
recommending projects that fulfi ll the goals to create a more useable system. This plan is a guiding
document that assesses the existing infrastructure and makes recommendations for improvements to the
trail and sidewalk system to provide city staff and elected offi cials with clear direction on and priorities for
future improvements.

Vision & Goals
To guide the Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Master Plan project process, vision and goals were
developed covering the many facets of pedestrian and bicycling needs.
Vision: Eagan envisions a community where residents, commuters and visitors can navigate the city
safely and comfortably by bicycle and walking to connect people to places, improve health and the
environment, and elevate quality of life for city residents of all ages and abilities.
Goals:
» Mobility: Increase bicycling and walking access to businesses, transit connections and
community destinations by designing and maintaining safe bicycle and pedestrian networks that
off er continuous, high-quality, comfortable connections.
» Connectivity: Make bicycling and walking a viable alternative for Eagan residents, commuters,
visitors and transit users, shifting the focus to include transportation as well as recreation and
ensuring unobstructed, clear routes.
» Integration: Integrate walking and bicycling into community planning to enhance livability,
health, transportation, transit connections, bicycle commuting, the environment, and economic
development.
» Safety: Provide safe and comfortable walking and bicycling facilities for Eagan residents,
commuters, visitors and transit users of all ages and abilities.
» Maintenance: Maintain the walking and bicycling system year-round.
» Programs: Promote the safety and attractiveness of walking and bicycling through education,
encouragement, and enforcement programs.
» Facilities: Install trail and sidewalk amenities at strategic locations within the Eagan bicycle and
pedestrian transportation system to provide users with facilities to enhance usability and safety
and coordinate with Eagan businesses to incorporate bicycle amenities for commuters, visitors
and patrons.
Public Outreach
The various meetings and public outreach events that were conducted as part of the Bicycle and
Pedestrian Transportation Master Plan process provided the project team with benefi cial input about
what the public desires and is concerned about with the current trail and sidewalk system. The
comments received in the community engagement process supported the City’s sentiment to improve
the trail system by completing gaps and developing a more comprehensive trail system for safe and
comprehensive pedestrian and bicycle transportation. Several themes and ideas came out during the
public process. These included:
»Provide safe crossings of large intersections
»Connections to city parks is important
11
»Trail access to Lebanon Hills Regional Park
»Provide access to the Fort Snelling State Park and the Minnesota River Greenway
»Provide access to transit stops and stations and shopping centers
Existing System
Walking and bicycling are essential modes of transportation, and the City of Eagan has over 120
miles of paved trails and approximately 35 miles of concrete sidewalks that provide alternatives to
vehicular transit. The trails and sidewalks have been developed over time, in conjunction with roadway
development and restoration, new housing and industrial development, and as part of specifi c park and
trail planning and development eff orts. The project team analyzed existing trails, sidewalks and on-street
bicycle safety lanes and identifi ed key destinations including regional and state parks, city parks and
trails, recreation centers, transit stations, major employers, the Dakota County greenway system and the
Regional Bicycle Transportation Network (RBTN). A base map of existing conditions provides an overview
of the city’s trail and sidewalk system, as well as identifying key destinations.

Data Analysis
Understanding the many factors that aff ect pedestrian use of trails and sidewalks in Eagan was important
to identifying issues and needs. The analysis process included a review of existing land use, pedestrian
walking locations (walksheds), traffi c data and a gap analysis of Eagan’s bicycle and pedestrian system.
This data, in addition to a demand analysis map provided by Dakota County, provided an understanding
of where there are populations that rely more heavily on walking and bicycling.
Eagan’s trail and sidewalk system is extensive and continues to expand as development occurs
throughout the city and as other agencies improve the regional and state recreation systems. An
important part of this study was to ask for input from the public where gaps exist in the existing trail and
sidewalk system. Online engagement tools, public input at community events and recommendations
from the advisory committee were included in the gap analysis. The public identifi ed specifi c locations
where incomplete or missing segments of trails and sidewalks exist, where there are desirable
connections to neighborhoods, parks or retail locations, where improvements to street crossings are
needed and where major barriers like highways block pedestrian access. The Trail and Sidewalk Gap Map
below shows all gaps identifi ed during the analysis and public comment period.

Introduction, Vision, Goals 15
Walking and bicycling are important forms of transportation within a community. In past times, when
planning for transportation systems, facilities for pedestrians and bicyclists were often overlooked. Today,
integrating pedestrian and bicycle facilities in all levels of infrastructure is a primary objective of the
planning process because providing safe and connected facilities for pedestrians helps create a vibrant
and welcoming community. The purpose of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Master Plan is to
recognize the importance of walking and bicycling in Eagan and to develop a vision for a future where
pedestrians and bikers can navigate the city safely and effi ciently alongside other modes of transportation.
Eagan has a very robust trail and sidewalk network throughout the city. This network is important for
health, safety and transportation purposes. There is a large portion of the population that doesn’t drive or
own a car. People who cannot aff ord a car, people with disabilities, and/or people who choose not to drive
face many challenges accessing grocery and retail centers, workplaces, medical appointments, and schools.
The process for this plan included inventorying the existing trail and sidewalk facilities, developing a vision
and goals for the future of the City’s pedestrian and bicycle system, identifying gaps and recommending
projects that fulfi ll the goals to create a more useable system. This plan is a guiding document that assesses
the existing infrastructure and makes recommendations for improvements to the trail and sidewalk system
to provide city staff and elected offi cials with clear direction on and priorities for future improvements.
Section 1: Introduction, Vision & Goals
PURPOSE OF THE PLAN
Introduction, Vision, Goals16
Mobility
Increase bicycling and walking access to businesses, transit connections and community
destinations by designing and maintaining safe bicycle and pedestrian networks that off er
continuous, high-quality, comfortable connections.
Connectivity
Make bicycling and walking a viable alternative for Eagan residents, commuters, visitors and
transit users, shifting the focus to include transportation as well as recreation and ensuring
unobstructed, clear routes.
Safety
Provide safe and comfortable walking and bicycling facilities for Eagan residents of all ages and
abilities.
Maintenance
Maintain the walking and bicycling system year-round.
Programs
Promote the safety and attractiveness of walking and bicycling through education,
encouragement, and enforcement programs.
Facilities
Install trail and sidewalk amenities at strategic locations within the Eagan bicycle and pedestrian
transportation system to provide users with facilities to enhance usability and safety and
coordinate with Eagan businesses to incorporate bicycle amenities for commuters, visitors and
patrons.
Integration
Integrate walking and bicycling into community planning to enhance livability, health,
transportation, transit connections, bicycle commuting, the environment, and economic
development.
Vision
Eagan envisions a community where residents, commuters and visitors can navigate the city
safely and comfortably by bicycle and walking to connect people to places, improve health and
the environment, and elevate quality of life for city residents of all ages and abilities.
VISION & GOALS
Introduction, Vision, Goals 17
Health
Walking and bicycling play a very important role in improving health and wellness. Physical activity
improves overall health, helps reduce obesity and is benefi cial for mental health. Throughout Dakota
County, 37.5 percent of adults are considered overweight and 26.1 percent of adults are considered
obese. This is similar to state and national rates. Seventy-eight percent of adults are meeting the
recommended 150 minutes per week of physical activity, 58-71 percent of youth are not meeting the
recommended 60+ minutes of physical activity per day. Twenty percent of adults have been diagnosed
with depression and 35-46 percent of the youth ages 12-17 report feelings of depression. Thirty-seven
percent of residents within Dakota County have low access to food, meaning they are low income
residents who live more than 1 mile (urban) or 10 miles (rural) from a supermarket. People who have
access to safe and comfortable facilities for walking and bicycling, have lower health risks related to
overweight/obesity and improved mental health. Providing safe and comfortable bicycle and pedestrian
facilities gives greater access to basic needs of people of all ages and abilities.

DECEMBER, 2018
The project team reviewed all previous planning eff orts that have been developed by the City of Eagan
and Dakota County. Eagan has several existing plans, policies and studies over the last 25 years that
guided development of the city’s trail and sidewalk system. These plans include community-wide plans
such as the Eagan Roadway Safety Plan (2016), the Eagan Community Trail System Policy (2004), the
Eagan Pedestrian Crosswalk Policy Plan (1996) and the Northeast Eagan Development Plan (2016) and
site-specifi c plans including the Central Greenway Connectivity Study (2017) and the Soo Line Trail
Feasibility Study (2019).
Dakota County’s planning eff orts related to pedestrian and bicycle transportation are extensive. The
County recently completed a Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan (2018) that encompasses Eagan and identifi es
both gaps and future improvements to the County’s trail system within the city.
PREVIOUS PLANNING EFFORTS
Public Engagement and Participation 19
The City of Eagan strives to provide an
inclusive public engagement process for its
planning eff orts. To reach a diverse cross-
section of the community and to engage
people of diverse races, ethnicities, classes,
ages, abilities and national origin, the
project team strived to provide information
to the public in multiple ways with an
emphasis on trying to make it easy and
accessible for all interested citizens to
participate in the planning process. The
public engagement process included
several types of outreach, including those
listed on this page.
Meeting Types
» Pop-up Events
» One-on-one listening sessions
» WikiMap website
» Social media postings
» Stakeholder Committee
» Presentations to the City of Eagan Advisory
Parks Commission on the plan development
progress
» Presentations to City Council, the Public
Works Committee and the Advisory Planning
Commission
The general public, including park and trail users, commuters and Eagan residents are important
stakeholders in the master planning process and their input is highly valued. Comments received were
reviewed and included in project mapping and added to the master plan.

FOOD TRUCK FESTIVAL
GOES LOW WASTE
You may notice more recycling and compost bins
at the Eagan Food Truck Festival than in previous
years. We’re requiring vendors to use recyclable
or compostable containers and service ware. This
change should make it easier for you to eat, enjoy
and toss away with minimal sorting.
“By making this change, the we hope to divert
at least half of all waste generated at the event
FOOD TRUCK FESTIVAL: FOOD, FUN, FRIENDS
from the landfill into the recycling and compost
streams,” says Jackson Becker, of Dakota Valley
Recycling, the City’s recycling division.
“Ideally, we’d love to see 90% diverted,” says
Eagan Recreation Program Supervisor Tanya
Mozingo, “but for the first year, 50% would be a
huge success.”
Mozingo adds that many of the food vendors —
especially those who attend events in Minneapolis
— already conduct business with sustainability in
mind. The low-waste policy at our event is just
the latest effort from the City to do the same.
Eagan is one of only a handful of Minnesota cities
to be recognized as a Step 5 GreenStep City.
Implementing the low-waste policy at the Food
Truck Festival was part of a 2019 decision to
cut down on the waste generated at large-scale
community events in order to enhance the City’s
environmentally-friendly efforts.
Of course, it’s not all up to the vendors and the
City to accomplish this goal; event attendees
have a very important role to play. Mozingo’s
message to them is simple: Take the time to look
at your items and sort them properly into the
waste bins.
Need sorting help?
Remember this: cans, bottles and clean paper go
in recycling; all food, napkins and paper-based
trays and utensils go in compost. And if you
forget, ask one of the recycling volunteers on site
for help.
“By working together,” says Mozingo, “we can
make positive impacts on the environment so
that we can all continue to enjoy our beautiful
green spaces for years to come.”
Mozingo and Dakota Valley Recycling also hope
to add similar low-waste and even zero-waste
efforts to more community events and programs

The various meetings and public outreach events that were conducted as part of the Bicycle and
Pedestrian Transportation Master Plan process provided the project team with benefi cial input about
what the public desires and is concerned about with the current trail and sidewalk system. The
comments received in the community engagement process supported the City’s sentiment to improve
the trail system by completing gaps and developing a more comprehensive trail system for safe and
comprehensive pedestrian and bicycle transportation. Several themes and ideas came out during the
public process. These included:
» Provide safe crossings of large intersections
» Connections to city parks is important
» Trail access to Lebanon Hills Regional Park
» Provide access to the Fort Snelling State Park and the Minnesota River Greenway
» Provide access to transit stops and stations and shopping centers
A complete list of comments received from the public engagement is included in the appendix.
The City of Eagan produces the Experience Eagan newsletter that is distributed to all Eagan households
and businesses and is posted on the City’s website. A story on the bicycle and pedestrian master plan ran
in the August-September 2019 issue of Experience Eagan, highlighting the project purpose and process,
and providing information on how to add input and comment on the city’s trail and sidewalk system.

Existing Bicycle and Pedestrian System 25
Walking and bicycling are essential modes of transportation, and the City of Eagan has over 120
miles of paved trails and approximately 35 miles of concrete sidewalks that provide alternatives to
vehicular transit. The trails and sidewalks have been developed over time, in conjunction with roadway
development and restoration, new housing and industrial development, and as part of specifi c park and
trail planning and development eff orts.
DESTINATIONS
Eagan has a multitude of destinations that are served by trails and expanding the connectivity
throughout the city was a comment often shared by the public.
Regional and State Parks
Eagan’s proximity next to the Minnesota River and Fort Snelling State Park to the northwest and Lebanon
Hills Regional Park along its southern border provide key regional destinations for recreation. The
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is improving access to the Minnesota River and Dakota
County is developing a new trailhead at Nicols Road that will connect with the next segment of the
Minnesota River Greenway, further enhancing the recreation opportunities along the Minnesota River.
Highline Trail
The Highline Trail that extends east-west across the southern part of the City is an important off -road trail
facility that provides connections to several parks and the Mendota-Lebanon Hills Greenway.

Section 3: Existing Bicycle and Pedestrian System
EXISTING SYSTEM
Existing Bicycle and Pedestrian System26
Eagan has several large employers located throughout the city including Thomson Reuters, Blue Cross
Blue Shield of MN, Ecolab, US Postal Service, United Parcel Service, Prime Therapeutics. Employees at
these companies and at smaller companies rely on the transit system and the connections provided by
the trails and sidewalks for commuting and recreation.
City Recreation Centers and Parks
Eagan has an expansive park and recreation system that includes 56 parks, Cascade Bay Water park, the
Eagan Civic Arena, Community Center and the Eagan Art House. These facilities serve as other destinations
and creating an integrated pedestrian-oriented system to provide access is important to Eagan residents.
Transit Stations
As a fi rst-ring suburb in the Twin Cities, Eagan is well-served by the regional public transit system. The
Minnesota Valley Transit Authority (MVTA) is the public transportation agency for seven suburbs in the
south-metro area. In Eagan, there are three primary MVTA transit stations including the Eagan Transit
Station at Pilot Knob Road and Interstate 35E, the Blackhawk Park & Ride at Blackhawk Road and Cliff Road,
and the Cedar Grove Transit Station at Nicols Road and Cedar Grove Parkway. The METRO Red Line Bus
Rapid Transit stops at the Cedar Grove Transit Station.

DAKOTA COUNTY GREENWAY SYSTEM
Dakota County is a key partner in developing and maintaining trails in Eagan. The County greenway
system encompasses the regional trail system within Dakota County. Within Eagan, the Minnesota River
Greenway and the Mendota-Lebanon Hills Greenway are both partially developed. A small segment
of the Dakota County Big Rivers Regional Trail extends south along the Minnesota River and connects
with the Minnesota River Greenway at the trailhead on Sibley Memorial Highway, across from Lone Oak
Road. Other Dakota County planned greenways and trails include the Eagan Greenway and the Rich
Valley Greenway. Eagan and Dakota County developed a feasibility study to develop the Soo Line Trail to
connect the Big Rivers Regional Trail to the Mendota-Lebanon Hills Greenway in northeast Eagan.

RBTN
The Metropolitan Council developed the Regional Bicycle Transportation Network (RBTN) in 2014 as
the offi cial regional bikeway network that sets the region’s priority vision for planning and investment.
The purpose of the RBTN is to establish an integrated and seamless network of on-street bikeways
and off -road trails; provide the vision for a “backbone” arterial network to accommodate daily bicycle
trips by connecting regional destinations and local bicycle networks; and encourage cities, counties,
parks agencies, and the state to plan and implement future bikeways in support of the network vision
(Metropolitan Council, 2015).
There are three Tier 1 Priority RBTN corridors in Eagan that are identifi ed in Figure 6 and include Dodd
Road, Blackhawk Road and Silver Bell Road. Recognizing the importance of these planned corridors
for local and regional trail planning is important because connecting to the bicycle and pedestrian
transportation system in adjacent communities will benefi t all users as they navigate through the region.

LOCAL TRAILS
The trail system in Eagan is designed to provide safe, pleasant places for exercise, relaxation or
commuting for users of all ages and abilities. Besides transportation, some of the most popular everyday
activities include running, walking, bicycling, and in-line skating for exercise and pleasure.
Figure 5 - Existing Trail and Sidewalk Map
Three distinct types of trail facilities exist in Eagan:
» Local/neighborhood trails: Provide access within smaller geographical areas, including
residential neighborhoods or commercial areas.
» Park trails: Provide circulation within and between park and recreational facilities within
the city.
» Trails along roadways: These trails provide essential trail connections throughout the
City, linking commercial and shopping centers, business districts, parks and local trails.

SIDEWALKS
Sidewalks are important components of the pedestrian transportation system. In Eagan, sidewalks
are typically fi ve to eight feet wide and constructed of concrete. Sidewalks are generally located in
commercial and shopping areas and along primary and secondary roadways and are placed at the back
of curb or separated by a turf boulevard.
STREET CROSSINGS
Curb ramps and street crossing treatments
are critical for safe pedestrian travel. Street
crossing facilities can include a range
of treatments from marked crosswalks,
advance stop lines, curb extensions,
accessible pedestrian signals. Pedestrian
crossing islands and pedestrian-activated
crossing facilities like Rectangular Rapid
Flashing Beacons (RRFB) or High-Intensity
Activated Crosswalk beacons (HAWK).

PAVED SHOULDER SAFETY LANES
1 Minnesota Department of Transportation. Bicycle Facility Design Manual. 2020 draft.
Eagan provides on-street bicycle facilities in select locations within the city, called paved shoulder safety
lanes. Paved shoulder safety lanes should be at least four feet wide to be considered a bicycle facility. If the
shoulder is less than four feet wide, bicyclists may ride in the travel lane. Paved shoulder safety lanes do
not require specifi c signs or markings to be used as bicycle facilities. Paved shoulder safety lanes provide
on-street access for bicycles but may not meet MNDOT minimum width and setbacks to be identifi ed or
marked as a bike lane. Paved shoulder safety lanes are located on city streets that may or may not have
adjacent sidewalks or trails.
Paved Shoulders at Intersections
At intersections, paved shoulders are typically to the right of the right-turn lane, or the shoulder terminates
into the turn lane. If the roadway width is not suffi cient for the shoulder to carry through to the outside
of the turn lane and it terminates in the turn lane, then the intersection treatments may include installing
shared lane markings in the right-turn only lane, or adding a bike lane to the left of a right turn lane. Traffi c
volumes, vehicle speeds and sight distances should be reviewed when considering these treatments 1.
At T-intersections, when the roadway includes a shoulder bypass lane, it is benefi cial to provide a 4-foot
minimum shoulder to the right of the bypass lane to provide space for bicyclists to navigate around cars in
the bypass lane.

AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT
ADA
The 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act
requires all government entities that provide
transportation services and infrastructure to
ensure that people with disabilities can use
the transportation system in an accessible
and safe manner. Accessible infrastructure is
important for people who are young, old and
have disabilities. One in every 11 residents
in the Twin Cities region has a disability
(Metropolitan Council, 2015). Updating
existing sidewalks, trails and crossings to
meet ADA requirements is an important
component of maintaining and developing
a functional pedestrian and bicycle system in
Eagan.
Analysis of the Existing Trail and Sidewalk System 33
Understanding the many factors that aff ect bicycle and pedestrian use of trails and sidewalks in Eagan
was important to identifying issues and needs. The analysis process included a review of existing land use
and traffi c data and a gap analysis of Eagan’s bicycle and pedestrian system.
Section 4: Analysis of the Existing System
Existing Bicycle and Pedestrian System34
The data analysis reviewed multiple layers, which included land use, average daily traffi c, walksheds
and barriers to bicycle and pedestrian movement to help understand where bicycle and pedestrian
demand is high and where challenges exist for bicycle and pedestrian movement. In addition, research
was conducted on development patterns to anticipate locations where future bicycle and pedestrian
demand will be highest, such as in northeast Eagan.

Figure 9 - Demand Analysis Map
Demand
The pedestrian and bicycle demand analysis provided an understanding of where there are populations
that are more reliant on walking and bicycling as a mode of transportation and/or experience barriers to
walking and bicycling. The demand analysis used a heat map developed by Dakota County as part of the
2018 Dakota County Pedestrian and Bicycle Study.
Existing Bicycle and Pedestrian System 37
Each of the above data factors was assigned a score of 1-10, based on the potential for pedestrian and
bicycle demand. Each factor was weighed equally. Scores were totaled and mapped using GIS software.
Darker orange areas indicate higher pedestrian and bicycle demand (a higher total score). The analysis
identifi ed locations within Eagan where people are more reliant on walking and bicycling for transportation.
The demand map was used as a principal component for prioritizing trail and sidewalk projects.
The pedestrian demand analysis map, Figure 9, incorporates the following data to identify locations
where pedestrian and bicycle movement is highest.
» Population density –number of people, mapped by US census block
» Employment density – number of people employed at business locations, mapped at ¼
mile
» Presence of shopping – square footage of businesses generating customer traffi c, such as
health clinics and retail services, mapped at ¼ mile
» Areas with concentrations of children and/or older adults – population density of people
17 and under and 65 years and older mapped by US census block group
» Schools - number of students attending each school, mapped at ½ mile
» Households with no access to a vehicle –households without vehicles, mapped by 2010
US census tract
» Presence of transit – transit centers, park and ride locations, and bus stops on local and
express routes, mapped at ¼ mile

Analysis of the Existing Trail and Sidewalk System40
Figure 14 - Winter Maintenance
TRAIL AND SIDEWALK MAINTENANCE
Eagan’s City Council has made trail and sidewalk maintenance a priority. Providing safe access to
pedestrian facilities year-round is important for overall mobility, including both recreation and
transportation purposes. Eagan maintenance staff conduct regular maintenance on trails and sidewalks
that includes mowing, tree trimming, sweeping and blowing the surface and making minor repairs to the
asphalt and concrete.
The primary maintenance task in winter is plowing trails and sidewalks. Eagan staff and elected offi cials
recognize that residents would like all trails and sidewalks cleared after every snowfall. Current budgets
and staffi ng do not allow for plowing of the entire system. At present, 84 miles of trails and sidewalks are
plowed. These facilities are plowed after roadway snow removal operations are complete to ensure snow
from roads isn’t pushed onto previously cleared trails or sidewalks. The City Council annually considers
requests for additional winter maintenance, including all newly constructed segments. The City’s Winter
Maintenance of Sidewalks and Trails Policy is included in the appendix for additional information.

Analysis of the Existing Trail and Sidewalk System 41
Eagan’s trail and sidewalk system is extensive and continues to expand as development occurs
throughout the city and as other agencies improve the regional and state recreation systems. An
important part of this study was to ask for input from the public where gaps exist in the existing trail and
sidewalk system. Online engagement tools, public input at community events and recommendations
from the advisory committee were included in the gap analysis. The public identifi ed specifi c locations
where incomplete or missing segments of trails and sidewalks exist, where there are desirable
connections to neighborhoods, parks or retail locations, where improvements to street crossings are
needed and where major barriers like highways block pedestrian access. The Trail and Sidewalk Gap Map
below shows all gaps identifi ed during the analysis and public comment period.

Section 5: System Enhancements & Recommendations
Input from the public and analysis of existing conditions and planning data have provided the
project team with a solid understanding of the current trail and sidewalk system and locations where
improvements are needed to enhance the system over the next twenty years. This section identifi es
specifi c goal-based improvements and lists potential applications that may be implemented as part of
project development. In addition to the specifi c improvement projects listed. Other recommendations for
enhancing the bicycle and pedestrian system in Eagan are provided.
The improvements identifi ed through public input and analysis of system gaps throughout the city were
prioritized using a two-step process. The initial prioritization was based on the pedestrian and bicycle
demand. Each improvement was given a score utilizing the demand analysis process described in the
Analysis Section.
Once the improvements were scored, the system was analyzed through the lens of each goal to identify
improvements that meet the objectives of the goals. The Mobility, Connectivity and Integration Goals can
be supported by specifi c improvements to the bicycle and pedestrian system. The other four goals, Safety,
Maintenance, Programs and Facilities are broad-based and should be addressed across the system and as
programmatic enhancements to promote safe use of the trail and sidewalk system.
The following pages list 26 recommended projects that include descriptions and an image of the existing
condition. There are several factors that go into determining when a project can be completed including
cost, potential impacts to right-of-way, coordination with other agencies including Dakota County
and whether a project will be addressed as part of a planned or future roadway project. To assist the
city staff and offi cials, cost estimates for each project have been developed and a recommendation for
implementing the projects has also been included.
Other Projects
There are many potential projects that were identifi ed through the BPTMP public input process and
system analysis that are not included in the following pages. Over 100 potential system improvements
were identifi ed and the complete list of projects is included in the appendix. While these projects have
not been identifi ed in the top-tier of priorities, these project should be considered in the future, if funding
becomes available, or if roadway or other public improvement project are planned that could incorporate
these improvements. Continual coordination with Dakota County and MnDOT on future improvements
to the bicycle and pedestrian system will provide additional opportunities to complete additional
projects.

The mobility goal used walksheds (5, 10, and 15-minute walk) to identify improvements
that would provide increased access to major employers, schools, and shopping centers.
Improvements that fell within these walksheds were then evaluated on their demand scores
and prioritized accordingly.
The connectivity goal looked at the larger transportation network for improvements that
would create continuous routes across the city. Once these gaps were identifi ed they were
then evaluated on their demand score.
The integration goal looked at future developments of senior and low-income housing.
Improvements around these developments that would give access to shopping centers, parks,
and existing trails were identifi ed and then evaluated on their demand score.

ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Maintenance
- Staff and the City Council should continue reviewing winter maintenance activities
and locations to determine if additional winter maintenance is needed and can be
completed within the budget allocations. The City currently plows 84 miles of trails and
sidewalks. New trail and sidewalk segments and improvements should be reviewed
annually to determine whether they require winter plowing.
- Eagan has a solid maintenance plan for trails and sidewalks during non-winter
months that includes mowing, sweeping and blowing and conducting minor repairs
as needed to system components. Non-winter trail and sidewalk maintenance
activities should be reviewed and updated annually to include new trail and sidewalk
segments.
Public Awareness Programs
Safe use of Eagan’s trails and sidewalks can be enhanced by educating the public- both
pedestrians and bicyclists, and motorists- on best practices. Increasing the education
of trail and sidewalk users will help reduce confl icts between users and motorists, make
the trail and sidewalk system safer for all users, and help to increase the acceptance
of bicycling as an important and eff ective mode of transportation and exercise. The
approach to safety education will diff er depending on the age of the user. Children
who are learning the rules of the road will require a diff erent approach than teenagers
and adults who may have experience but might not have a formal understanding of
best practices or state laws related to the bicycle and pedestrian system.
The Bicycle Alliance of Minnesota (Bike MN) is a good resource for communities and
individuals to get information on bicycle education. Bike MN provides a bicycling
handbook that can be downloaded from their website. Their website includes handy
links to other resources for safe bicycling: https://www.bikemn.org/index.php
There are many ways to get information on safe biking and walking on trails and
sidewalks to the residents and visitors to Eagan:
• Utilize the City’s web page and social media platforms to direct people
to training resources such as the Bike MN website.
• Hold education events such as “Bike to Work Day” and partner with local
businesses
• Partner with the Independent School Districts 191, 196 and 197 to

develop safety trainings. Consider utilizing
MnDOT’s Walk! Bike! Fun! Curriculum as
part of this training. Information on this
MnDOT program can be found on-line at:
http://www.dot.state.mn.us/mnsaferoutes/
training/walk-bike-fun.html
Facilities Enhancements
Eagan’s system of trails and sidewalks is extensive
and adding improvements as recommended in this
plan will further improve the bicycle and pedestrian
transportation system. But bicyclists and pedestrians
need supporting facilities along the way and at their
destination. Improvements such as rest stops with
benches, trash receptacles and bike racks placed
periodically along the trail system provide important
locations for users to stop and rest.
Facilities at destinations are equally important.
Businesses, restaurants, transit stops and transit stations,
shopping centers and public buildings need to be
equipped with infrastructure to support bicycling as an
eff ective method of transportation.
The League of American Bicyclists has developed
programs for communities and businesses to become
more bicycle friendly. Becoming an Bicycle Friendly
Community would provide the City of Eagan with
a road map to improving conditions for bicycling.
Similarly, becoming a Bicycle Friendly Business is a good
way to make bicycling a more feasible alternative for
employees. The Bicycle Friendly Businesses program
recognizes employers for their eff orts to encourage a
more welcoming atmosphere for bicycling employees,
customers and the community.
Eagan has two businesses who are recognized at Bicycle
Friendly Businesses:

Intersection Bicycle Boxes
Intersection bicycle boxes are a designated area in the approach zone
of a signalized intersection for bicycles to wait for the signal. They
consist of an advanced stop bar, a green painted box and a white
bike symbol. Bike boxes help increase cyclist visibility and reduce the
risk of right turn collisions. Right turns on red lights are generally not
permitted in an intersection with a bike box.
Image Source: NACTO
The toolbox provides components that can be used individually or as a system to increase the safety and
comfort of pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure for users and encourage biking and walking. Each project
should be studied to ensure the appropriate approach and components are being used. User safety
should be a high priority when designing or retrofi tting pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure.
Advisory Bike Lanes
Advisory bike lanes are priority areas delineated by dotted white lines
on the sides of a single center lane roadway with two-way traffi c. The
dotted lines indicate that vehicles can enter the bike lane as needed,
except when a bicycle is present. Advisory bike lanes are experimental
treatments that are not currently in the MN MUTCD and if they
are considered, the MnDOT Traffi c Standards Engineer should be
consulted to discuss the Request to Experiment process1.

Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB)
Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFB) are pedestrian-
actuated conspicuity enhancements used in combination with a
pedestrian, school, or trail crossing warning sign to improve safety at
uncontrolled, marked crosswalks. The device includes two rectangular-
shaped yellow indications, each with an LED-array-based light source,
that fl ash with high frequency when activated.

Leading Pedestrian Interval
A Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI) typically gives
pedestrians a 3–7 second head start when entering
an intersection with a corresponding green signal in
the same direction of travel. LPIs enhance the visibility
of pedestrians in the intersection and reinforce
their right-of-way over turning vehicles, especially
in locations with a history of confl ict. Use LPIs at
intersections where heavy turning traffi c comes
into confl ict with crossing pedestrians during the
permissive phase of the signal cycle.
Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS)
Accessible Pedestrian Signals are devices that
communicate information about WALK and DON’T
WALK intervals at signalized intersections, in non-visual
formats, to pedestrians who are blind or have low
vision. APS systems are benefi cial for all pedestrians,
especially children by alerting them to the instant
the walk sign turns on and lets them know the status
of the walk cycle. APS systems use audible tones,
verbal messages and raised tactile arrows on the push
buttons to help the visually impaired.
HAWK Beacon (High-Intensity Activated crosswalk
beacon)
A HAWK beacon is a traffi c control device used to
stop road traffi c and allow pedestrians to cross safely.
The purpose of a HAWK beacon is to allow protected
pedestrian crossings, stopping road traffi c only when
needed. A HAWK beacon can be an alternative when a
standard traffi c signal may not be warranted.

Median Refuge Island
A median refuge island is a protected space placed
in the center of the street to facilitate pedestrian and
bicycle crossings. The median refuge creates a space
for people to stop midway between a street crossing.
Pedestrian-Scale Lighting
Pedestrian-scale lighting improves nighttime security and enhances
the aesthetics of commercial or shopping districts. Pedestrian lighting
can also enhance pedestrian crosswalks by illuminating the roadway
and reducing glare to motorists.
Streetscape Furnishings
Streetscape furnishings can contribute to the street environment and
provide places for rest and social interaction. Furnishings can include
seating, trash / recycling receptacles, bicycle racks, bollards, tree
grates, planters, transit shelters, and informational signage. Furnishings
should be concentrated in areas where pedestrians will benefi t
from them most, such as near transit stops, shaded locations, and at
building entrances or collection spots.

Appendix C: Public Comments
WikiMap ID Initial Comment Create Date Comment Comment Date
365324 The south side of Duckwood Drive from Denmark east to Lexington needs a
sidewalk. The sidewalk on the northside is at capacity or even over with people
walking both directions with and without dogs and bike riders. Only small children
should be riding a bike on the sidewalk.
1-Aug-19 My son really wants to ride his bike home from Glacier Hills, but because of
sidewalks being only on one side of Denmark and Duckwood (and no bike space) in
these spots, he has to cross multiple busy roads. Sidewalks on both sides would help
immensely. I know that the parent pick up line spills out onto Wescott and ties up
traffic in the afternoons; I bet at least some of the traffic would be eliminated if
there were safer bike riding options for kids.

365324 The south side of Duckwood Drive from Denmark east to Lexington needs a
sidewalk. The sidewalk on the northside is at capacity or even over with people
walking both directions with and without dogs and bike riders. Only small children
should be riding a bike on the sidewalk.
1-Aug-19 Agreed. The north side sidewalk is only minimally functional in the winter with water
pooling and freezing, as well.
6-Aug-19
365325 The sidewalk on the north side of Duckwood Drive from Denmark east to Lexington
is at or over capacity with pedestrians traveling in both directions and people riding
their bikes on the sidewalk instead of the street.
1-Aug-19
365326 You will see people walking on the shoulder of south side of Duckwood Drive
between Denmark and Widgeon Way. This happens probably more often in the late
winter/early spring when water ponds up on the sidewalk on the north side of
Duckwood Drive.
1-Aug-19
365327 Sidewalk ponds up with water when the snow melts making it difficult to walk. Also
have a problem with re-freeze on the sidewalk.
1-Aug-19 Yeah this sidewalk is a nightmare, I have mobility issues and live on Spoonbill so I
just avoid walking west in the winter.
6-Aug-19
365328 The sidewalk on the east side of Denmark ponds up with water. The grade of the
sidewalk has become uneven. This is a problem after it rains and when snow melts.
1-Aug-19
365329 Put a sidewalk on the west side of Denmark between Yankee Doodle and Duckwood
Drive.
1-Aug-19
365330 The intersection of Duckwood Drive and Lexington is a difficult intersection to
navigate as a cyclist especially when traveling east on Duckwood. East bound
Duckwood at Lexington has a right turn only lane which creates conflict between
motorists and cyclists. I see people riding their bikes on the sidewalk on Duckwood
in order to avoid crossing Lexington eastbound from Duckwood Drive.
There is no loop detector for cyclists at this intersection when traveling west/east on
Duckwood. One must dismount the bike in order to push the button to activate the
walk signal.
1-Aug-19 This intersection is difficult for runners as well for the reasons cited by the cyclist
above!
3-Aug-19
365330 The intersection of Duckwood Drive and Lexington is a difficult intersection to

Duckwood at Lexington has a right turn only lane which creates conflict between
motorists and cyclists. I see people riding their bikes on the sidewalk on Duckwood
in order to avoid crossing Lexington eastbound from Duckwood Drive.
There is no loop detector for cyclists at this intersection when traveling west/east on
Duckwood. One must dismount the bike in order to push the button to activate the
walk signal.
1-Aug-19 Note that having to push the button to activate the light puts the cyclist into odd
locations; feels dangerous crossing lanes multiple times, and by the time you get
over there other traffic can arrive.

There is a right turn only lane on Wescott westbound. There's no place for a
westbound bicyclist on the road to safely stop at this intersection.
1-Aug-19 A sign indicating something to the extent of "cyclists allowed in lane" might help. I
stand ON the white line, so that i'm not impeding cars as they turn right, yet i'm not
in the lane heading straight, but you get the evil eye for being traffic.

1-Aug-19 i have ridden here several times. I just turn onto the sidewalk/bike path or whatever
it is and push the button for the walk sign before I cross. Sometimes you just have to
"bite the bullet" and recognize the fact that Eagan was designed for cars. I don't
understand why bicyclers think they need to put themselves on a car traffic lane just
to prove a point. Accept the fact that we need to coexist, its just not worth fighting
for space that was intended for cars.

1-Aug-19 Wescott should have bike Lanes, especially with the Library, Cascade Bay, ice arena,

365334 Horrible intersection for cyclists because of right turn only lanes. There's no
guarantee a motorist will stop for a pedestrian or a cyclist trying to use the crosswalk
to cross Pilot Knob on Duckwood Drive.
I'm always scared a motorist will not see me when I am biking westbound on
Duckwood Drive to cross Pilot Knob. Duckwood Drive westbound goes from one lane
and a shoulder at Town Center Drive to 3 lanes of traffic and no where for the cyclist
to safely position her/himself to cross Pilot Knob, I refuse to use the sidewalk to
cross Pilot Knob unless absolutely necessary.
1-Aug-19 Horrible sidewalk and roadway on Pilot Knob Road over 35E. Terrible. Lots of gravel
always and unsafe. The onramp to Pilot Knob is horrible and therefore drivers do not
see the bicyclists either. Should be bike only path here.

365335 There are no good options for a cyclist traveling northbound/southbound on

1-Aug-19 Difficult for walkers/bikers. The turn signals are inconsistent at best. Sometimes left

for bikers/walkers (and some motorists too!) to know how/when a light will change -
and often for a VERY short time!!

365336 Crossing this intersection in all directions is probably one of the worst for

from the trail on a green light.
1-Aug-19 Agreed! I need to get from the Southeast side of Eagan to the Northwest side of
Eagan frequently, and avoid this area at all costs. The ring road might be a solution,
but drivers on errands there do NOT appear to expect any cyclists so it's also a pretty
dodgy option. I am very comfortable in traffic, but do NOT consider doing errands by
bike in Eagan. I would prefer to do so tho. Like a ride to ice cream, coffee, grocery
run, home store, etc. Nope.

19-Aug-19
365448 Some of my neighbors disagree (they like the privacy), but it would be nice to have
one paved trail from the top of Blackhawk Lake Park down to the main parking area.
This stretch down to the playground seems like the shortest and best grade for
building a paved trail. It could also be just improved gravel with some sort of steps
for walking, but it needs to be beefier than the dirt trails nearby that consistently
erode due to the slope.
3-Aug-19 If you could go from Palisade Way to the swing set easily, that would be really
helpful.
15-Nov-19
365449 It would be great if this trail could hook up to the city sidewalks and trails to the
north to improve access to shops from north. This is probably a big ask given the
development on the north side but it is a pretty clear gap. Mix of paved "through
trail" and gravel loop trail around Blackhawk Lake is great in its current form!
3-Aug-19
365450 This appears to be a "pie in the sky" type of Dakota County regional trail where a line
was placed on a map even though the terrain includes a ravine where construction
would be damaging and expensive. The City should focus on making the connection
to the east (from Four Oaks Road to Central Park) and working with the County and
MNDOT to connect City trails to the new Big Rivers Trailhead in a more reasonable
way.
3-Aug-19 Agreed!10-Dec-19

365451 The trails on Blackhawk Road are decent but often jump from one side to the others.
Most cyclists use the wide shoulders anyway, and this could be a great north-south
cycling corridor for Eagan. Bike lanes and better signals that don't require a loop
sensor could be considered if/when Blackhawk Road is ever reconstructed.
3-Aug-19 I often bike in Mpls and appreciate the effort they make to create safe on-street bike
lanes. It is frustrating in Eagan. To feel safe, I bike on the trail shared with
pedestrians. But this is challenging when walkers are in pairs or walking their pets. I
also get frustrated when trails are marked closed when it is clear that construction or
repair work is not impeding bike/walking traffic. And it would be helpful, if a trail is
closed for a section, to post a detour route. Again, this is done routinely within Mpls
and St. Paul. I hope ultimately for safe on-street cycling opportunities in Eagan.
5-Aug-19
365455 This is a horrible intersection for runners and cyclists alike (not to mention for
driving it in general). Cars traveling eastbound on Town Centre Drive seeking to turn
right or left have significant blind spots (especially in winter) and they rarely fully
stop. Meanwhile, the cars on Lexington zoom by at speeds 60+ mph. This
intersection either needs some control or other improvements.
3-Aug-19
365477 The paths on Pilot Knob and Diffley appear to be in great shape yet cyclists still are
riding in the traffic lanes with no shoulder. Can anything be done to make the paths
better or safer for cyclists without impeding pedestrians? Just trying to not have
cyclists pedaling up those hills tying up a lane of traffic during busy times as I can't
imagine it is any fun for them dealing with the cars
5-Aug-19 This comment highlights a real concern city wide. As a cyclist I avoid Diffley and
other high traffic roads like Lexington. I only use trails if a road is not safe (no
shoulder) and doesn't have an alternative. Having roads that run parallel to them
like Deerwood, Wilderness Run and Wescott with proper shoulders allow me to ride
at speed safely (18 to 25 mph). Please keep these parallel road-based routes in
mind. And to be clear, on trails I keep under 15 when alone, and drop to waling pace
around pedestrians. However I get grief from some pedestrians when calling out "on
your right" on trails. I've been told city trails are "walking only paths", and on streets
I've been yelled at to stay on the "sidewalks". You can't please everyone. Overall
Eagan has a wonderful system compared to neighbors like Inver Grove Heights.

the trails but am thrilled to have them. Great for families, learners, slower traffic. I
stick to the roads, as at speeds >15mph, drivers don't expect cyclists flying out of
sidewalks. There are many left turn lights in Eagan that do not turn green for bikes;
I've learned to treat them as yields (or I stand in the road for several cycles). But I'd
prefer to only travel on green. Thanks for listening and keeping Eagan such a great
place to live.

365480 I see that the blacktop area along Blackhawk is a City Trail. I thought it was a
sidewalk. Numerous times bicyclist that are going as fast as the traffic on Blackhawk
Road. They have come close to hitting me or my walking partner. They also do not
verbally say they are coming either. Two weeks ago we really had a close call at
about 7:30 pm the bicyclist was going south between Monterey and Kyllo. What can
we do about it. Who has the right of way.
Also on a side note who is responsible for keeping the trees trimmed and bushes
back from the trail. The area needs a trim between Bluecross Road and Skater Circle.
5-Aug-19 This is just why so many of us (cyclists) stick to the road. At a normal biking pace, we
are a menace to pedestrians. To hear the "on your left" we have to YELL and are as
likely to startle as warn. Paint on the trails to separate us really helps in some
locations, tho getting us to stick to our lanes seems hard. :)

5-Aug-19 I agree. There is a current ongoing study to guide the reconstruction of Cliff Rd in a
few years. The current plan show at the last open house has a divided 3 lane road
where practical and a trail on the north side of the road. It also includes a
roundabout at Dodd and grade separated pedestrian crossing. That will resolve
some of the issues, but unfortunately it doesn't include any access into the park. I
agree that it is unsafe to walk and bike on the access road. I would love to just bike
to the beach with my kids.

of gravel (which beats up on the cars tho you might not hear it inside the vehicle),
and I've seen a large increase in the rough debris on the shoulders (nuts, bolts, metal
parts) that comes with heavy trucks. Not saying the industry is "bad"; just serving as

5-Aug-19 Downhill on 13 here: the shoulder is not really functional riding space, even if you
discount the vehicle traffic. The road is just falling apart. But if you put up better
signage, people would find the entrance to the nice trail nearby.

365519 I am one of those that does not want to ride along 13...too many distracted drivers
going too fast to be biking next too. Also, shoulder has too much debris in it to make
it a safe riding space.
5-Aug-19 My family would love to use this trail more regularly, but access is very difficult. We
would have to load the family’s bikes up and drive to the parking lot, which feels
crazy given how close we live to the trail. There is just no safe way to bike down Lone
Oak (no shoulder, speeding cars) and then cross over 13- it’s a scary prospect,
even without kids. I wish there was better access and a safe way to cross 13 because
the trail is a very welcome addition to the area!

365520 This path is rough and narrow and very close to traffic. I don't feel safe riding here
but it's the only non street way to get from the Overlook at 494 into Eagan.

365523 Would be nice if trail were added along 55 where the unused rail line and rail bridge
is.
5-Aug-19 Agreed, it seems like an opportunity to add a connection to the Mississippi here. The
rail bridge that is still in use over 35E has abandoned track on one side so if they
could safely divide it there's a chance.

365528 This entire path needs a sidewalk for pedestrians and bikes. There is not a safe way
for these people to access the beach from the main road.
5-Aug-19
365529 I run all over Eagan but I cannot access this road because it is too dangerous. We
need a sidewalk on 3 stretching as far as possible, especially now with the new gas
station area coming in at the corner of 3 and Diffley. Many younger people will be
walking and/or biking here, but 3 is busy and fast, very dangerous without a
sidewalk. Also regarding 3 in particular, this would allow many runners and bikers
access to Robert Street area safely and relatively efficiently. As it is now, there is not
a clear path with sidewalks to get from Eagan north toward Saint Paul. Open up the
sidewalk access so we can travel by foot or pedal to the city, and vice versa.
5-Aug-19
365530 There needs to be a continual sidewalk here headed East. As it is now, it just stops.
Access is needed to the beach and other areas of Lebanon Hills. Using the busy road
by foot or pedal going east at this point is incredibly dangerous.
5-Aug-19
365531 There is a crosswalk area here for pedestrians, but there is no light on the north side
of the street. Several times after leaving the gym after dark I have come close to
hitting someone in the road. It needs more light or a modified pedestrian crossing
system.
5-Aug-19
365533 Add a sidewalk for runners and bikers around this lake. Right now it is underused
due to mud and instability.
5-Aug-19 I would add additional raised wooden walks where necessary. Sidewalks around the
lake makes it over developed.
6-Aug-19
365533 Add a sidewalk for runners and bikers around this lake. Right now it is underused

5-Aug-19 How about just plowing the east side of Pilot Knob from Cliff Road to the park in
winter. Ridiculous that you have to cross Pilot Knob from West to East in the winter
with no cross walk. Plow the trail!
6-Aug-19
365533 Add a sidewalk for runners and bikers around this lake. Right now it is underused

5-Aug-19 Totally agree that over-developing is the wrong direction for Eagan! What is the
tree coverage in Eagan? We need to plant trees not tear down trees.
11-Sep-19
365533 Add a sidewalk for runners and bikers around this lake. Right now it is underused

5-Aug-19 No WAY - there are SO MANY places to walk on asphalt and concrete. Jensen lake is
very popular because it offers a walk in the woods
11-Sep-19
365534 Add removable speed bumps on rolling hills drive as you approach Burr Oaks Park.
This park is unfortunately positioned in a valley where cars drive down hill in both
directions before entering the park. Vehicles often travel too fast down the hill in
both directions. Coming from the east there is a sharp turn right before the entrance
making visibility to the park entrance an issue. I have seen the city of Blaine install
removable (bolt on) plastic speed bumps that are removed in the winter months for
snow plows. These would ideally be positioned about 30 yards from the entrance in
both directions and improve pedestrian safety.
5-Aug-19 Great idea!5-Aug-19
365535 Nice to see this maybe indicated as a future addition. It's been odd that you have to
walk up to the street to get from O'Leaery Park to the CDA trails. Hoping this comes
soon.
6-Aug-19 Agreed 18-Aug-19
365536 Snow clearing stopped just on the west side of the bridge last winter, which doesn't
make a whole lot of sense. At least plow the trail as far as where it crosses the street,
but really the entire ring road gets enough traffic now the trails should probably be
plowed.
6-Aug-19
365540 Gotta get to the Vikings!6-Aug-19
365541 Provide bike trail to Costco 6-Aug-19 Agreed! Entrance to Costco is bad enough while driving. Would not want to hazard
this in a bike.
10-Dec-19
365542 Cars often travel fast down the curvy Lexington hill and drivers don't always look for
pedestrians. When I cross at this, pedestrian crossing, I sometimes have to wait a
while because cars don't stop. I think this intersection would benefit from a flashing
light that pedestrians could push to alert drivers.
6-Aug-19 I completely agree with this. Trying to cross here with a bike trailer is sketchy to say
the least. It holds me back from continuing an otherwise nice ride to the west.

6-Aug-19 A pedestrian crossing light activated by pushing a button would be nice. A big sign
saying Yeild to Pedestrian While Flashing.
My wife had to yank our dog once to avoid being struck by a speeding car. Nobody
yeilds to pedestrians at this intersection.

6-Aug-19 This is the most dangerous crosswalk in Eagan in my opinion. Cars coming downhill
do not have visibility to see pedestrians in time. When someone driving south does
stop, cars dart around them on the right side of the car. People in front of the cars
almost get clipped. There are crosswalk warning signs on Lexington, we need those
to flash when there’s someone in the crosswalk. A simple button at the crosswalk
that causes lights to blink would be perfect. The neighborhoods around this
intersection are turning over to young families with young kids on bikes. Please
consider adding flashing lights to this crosswalk.
4-Dec-19
365568 It would be great to have either steps or a more formal path down to black hawk
park from this trail. It is very steep and slippery when getting down to the park.
6-Aug-19
365569 In the winter this side of the sidewalk is not plowed even though there are many bus
stops and pedestrians who use this side walk. Consider adding this to the city
sidewalk plow route.

365573 There is not a good way to cross Cliff. The light at Beacon Hill sometimes takes 5
minutes to turn and is heavily congested with traffic and dangerous. It would be nice
to have a light, bridge, tunnel to connect the neighborhoods to the school,
restaurants and gym. I watch people bike and run across from Stonecliff to Thomas
Lake Rd often.
6-Aug-19
365574 Needs a crosswalk. Lots of pedestrians and dog walkers and it is a blind approach for
cars.
6-Aug-19 Agree with above comment. Crosswalk sign for blind approach would be a good
alert.
15-Nov-19
365575 Consider a tunnel under Lexington to allow people to get to the art park, nature
park, and Patrick Eagan Park. Or, please get the County to install a traffic signal
there.
6-Aug-19 Lexington can be a challenge to cross as there is no traffic signal there. The
additional traffic generated during the school year adds additional challenges.
Making a no left turn from Northview to Lexington could help. The alternative
would be a pedestrian activated signal similar to those found in some school
districts.

365579 Landscaping performed more than five years ago at this location results in the
pathway being covered by sand continuously.
6-Aug-19
365580 Please consider negotiating a trail connection to Central Park from this location.6-Aug-19
365581 Tree trimming at this location could improve sight lines for trail & road users to see
each other more easily. South bound drivers are typically moving at speed and need
to brake semi-aggressively in order to yield for the cross walk.
6-Aug-19
365582 Please consider painting a dedicated bike lane to deconflict northbound bike traffic
from northbound vehicles turning right onto eastbound Yankee Doodle Road. Bike
traffic using the right-most non-turn lane causes friction with northbound drivers.
The option of using the right-turn lane may not be technically correct and delays the
friction and use conflict closer to the intersection.
6-Aug-19
365584 The left-turn green arrow for traffic turning left form Silver Bell Road unto MN13
northbound may be too short for bicycles to cross all lanes of traffic and reach the
far right shoulder. Conflicting traffic may need to be suppressed with red right-turn
arrow.
6-Aug-19 Terrible intersection for people on wheels or walking.10-Dec-19
365586 Additional or automated enforcement options should be considered for the stop sign
at this location. East-bound Letendre Street automobile traffic turning south on
Coachman does not typically comply with the stop sign at that location. Driver
awareness of conflicting pedestrian traffic is very low there. Both Coachman Rd and
Letendre St have high levels of pedestrian traffic due to high-density housing, bus
stops located on both, and access to businesses further east.
6-Aug-19
365587 Additional or automated enforcement options should be considered for the stop sign
at this location. Westbound traffic turning right to northbound Coachman Rd is
frequently non-compliant. A crosswalk across Coachman Rd at this point may be
useful as a traffic calming measure. Adding a Police Substation at 3360 Coachman
Rd may have additional benefits.
6-Aug-19
365588 Please consider adding a crosswalk at this point.6-Aug-19
365589 Please consider a walking path or painted shoulder line on Clubview Drive for
pedestrian traffic attempting to access the USPS Post Office from Denmark Avenue.
6-Aug-19
365590 A painted bike left-turn lane from northbound MN13 west to Sibley Memorial Hwy
at this location, or some other scheme would be appreciated. Dismounting to use
the crosswalk is not attractive, and may ultimately result in a longer interrupt to the
highway traffic. Exempting bike traffic from the red left turn arrow or a loop-
detector specifically for bikes may be worth consideration.
6-Aug-19
365593 You have to wait for multiple lights and cross Pilot Knob twice to get from North to
South, because the trails don't go all the way (on either side of the road). Also the
bridge over 494 is narrow and no appropriate for traffic in both directions. Crossing
494 can ONLY happen on the west side of Pilot Knob. This feels very dangerous, as
there isn't a barrier of any type between bike/pedestrians and traffic.
6-Aug-19 Roads acting as barriers is a common issue in Eagan. This is an excellent analysis of
the issues at this MNDOT barrier.
15-Dec-19
365595 It would be nice to have a safe way to bike from Eagan communities to the beach.
This park is a great resource for cyclists and walkers, but there isn't a safe way to get
there without using a car.
6-Aug-19 Agreed 18-Aug-19
365596 there is a ton of traffic turning onto and off from this stretch and no safe shoulder

365630 It's very difficult to cross here as a pedestrian, even with the pedestrian walkway

constantly don't know what others cars are doing. This needs to be a roundabout.
When Central Park Commons was made, this should have never be allowed to be
left like this. The addition of Cane's and Aldi has only made this worse. Please fix this
ASAP. I do not feel safe crossing here with or without my kids present.

365776 It seems dangerous for cyclists to ride along 45-50 mph roads where there is no

cyclists. I think the orange ones are pedestrian only.

12-Aug-19 Please, please, please plow more public sidewalks in the winter. We walk a lot, not
because we have to but we enjoy being outdoors and walking with our dog. When
the sidewalks are not plowed (all winter) we are forced to walk in the street, often
next to a bar/restaurant with cars speeding in and out of the parking lot. Many
others use the same, sidewalks to get to nearby shops & bus shelters. With the
growth of Eagan, it makes sense to reevaluate pedestrian traffic on public sidewalks.
4-Dec-19
365797 Pilot Knob doesn't have good sidewalks for bicyclists. I believe Pilot Knob is "biker
friendly" but I would never bike on the road. No cars ever see bikers and I believe
there should be a wider path on or off road for bicyclists.
13-Aug-19
365798 Dangerous intersection. Drivers turning east from Beacon Hill don't see pedestrians
nor bikers stopped at this intersection. Perhaps there could be a sign or turning lane
for the bikers or modification to prevent accidents to bikers and pedestrians. Cliff
road traffic is too fast.
13-Aug-19 Agreed! The light takes a long time to stop traffic on Cliff and it's not a bike-friendly
intersection. A light on Thomas Lake Rd and Cliff would be safer and less congested
than the gas station corner.
1-Sep-19
365854 Maybe it's just me, but the trail to the fishing pier makes me uncomfortable in terms
of how secluded it is. I wouldn't feel comfortable with my kid walking that path by
himself.
15-Aug-19
365855 Restricted visability always makes me nervous about biking past this and other
driveways along Lexington. This location(Parkside Apartment entrance), Golfview,
and Northview Park Rd are the worst ones for bikers on the eastern sidewalk of
Lexington. Cars often stop in the way of bikers on the sidewalk while waiting to turn
and they often aren't slow enough on appraoch to stop if they don't see the biker.
Putting signs to watch for bikers/pedestrians may help, or trimming back plants in
the way, etc.
16-Aug-19
365856 Cars going southbound towards this intersection are almost never looking for
bicyclists. They often would hit me if I wasn't aware and paying close attention. They
always stop their cars right in the middle of the crosswalk, so I have to significantly
veer out of the way to avoid biking right into the side of the car.
16-Aug-19
365857 Very steep hill, unsafe to even coast down on a bike and hard to get up at all. I
usually will have to get off and walk it up. Going all the way around on the
alternative path is inconvenient.
16-Aug-19
365858 There are bumps on either side of this bridge that are quite uncomfortable to bike
across. I typically have to stand up on the pedals or get bounced nearly off my bike.
16-Aug-19
365907 Turn the mowed paths into trail. Connect from Pilot Knob park to ECC. Work with
Delta/Unisys. Path along west side of road, past stop sign and down into weeds
where the path is mowed.
19-Aug-19
365908 The connection of the walking trail around the school is disjointed, and you also can't
really use it during the day. Better connect to the trail at Pilot Knob Park and further
to ECC.
19-Aug-19
365909 Make more of this area unmowed and plant as prairie.20-Aug-19
365910 Buy Delta and Unisys properties and incorporate into Eagan park system. Good
location for expanded or alternate sites. Connect all the orphaned trails in this area.
20-Aug-19
365912 Very little parking at Pilot Knob Park. If there are more than 5 cars, they start parking
along Towerview Road. If they park on both sides, not enough room for two cars to
pass. Consider using some of Unisys parking for overflow parking? Also, if the
walking paths connected to ECC, they could use it as overflow parking for events.
20-Aug-19
365913 Work with Unisys to reduce the amount of mowed lawn. Replace with natural areas.20-Aug-19

maintenance of the right of way. Not sure whether that falls on the property owner
or city.

friendly plants. - Blueberries, chokecherries, hazelnuts,
11-Sep-19
366050 Crossing at the light can be dangerous to right turning vehicles. I would love to see a
protected intersection design here. It gets pretty heavy pedestrian use with the
athletic fields, schools, and stores in close proximity. I would like to bike to the
Caponi Art Park or Patrick Eagan Park but it can be unpleasant with a bike trailer full
of kids so I generally don't do it. People roll through right turns without checking for
pedestrians.
22-Aug-19
366051 This area needs a pedestrian crossing very badly. On any decent weather day during
the school year numerous kids can be seen running through traffic here to get to
Caribou or the ice cream shop after school
22-Aug-19
366052 The misaligned trails here are annoying for cyclists and pedestrians. It's unfortunate
they don't continue further down Lexington Point Pkwy.
22-Aug-19 Trail needs to be extended all the way down to Daniel Dr 23-Aug-19
366086 30 mph in a school zone is dangerous on a curvy road with heavy traffic. This speed
limit needs to be lowered to 20 mph effective 24/7, especially with no sidewalks
available on the residential side of the street. Plus, the on-street parking creates
additional hazards, especially during athletic events.
23-Aug-19 Agree that speed limit needs to be reduced and traffic controls at Northwoods
Parkway near the High School and Middle School. Children who bike to the MS from
the north, have to cross a dangerous road where traffic is heavy prior to school
hours.

366087 With the new MN law, Eagan can now lower neighborhood speed limits without the
need for MNDoT involvement. All Eagan neighborhoods with narrow unmarked (no
lane markings) two-way streets and no sidewalks should not have to deal with Eagan
encouraging drivers (via speed limit signage) that it's okay to drive 30+ mph. It's
very unsafe for pedestrians, especially in any high-traffic school zone area without
sidewalks. At the very most, 20 mph is fast enough.
23-Aug-19 This street its very unsafe for our children to walk to /from school or in the
neighborhood without side walk
24-Aug-19
366089 There are many small children that live in this neighborhood and cars drive fast a
sidewalk would help with safety.

366091 Many people walk the length of Daniel to Cub and the other shops. Cars drive very
fast through here. A sidewalk is greatly needed.
23-Aug-19
366104 I know it's temporary, but this area undergoing new housing has consistently had
this section of sidewalk closed for large amounts of time with zero work being done
to cause it to be closed to begin with. This also happens at the time where school
will be starting and there's a ton of kids that are walkers that use this side. Can we
get on board with making the changes to the street sooner rather than later?? I
mean why do you have it blocked off for over a week so far with nothing to show for
it.
24-Aug-19
366105 I agree that a crosswalk is needed here. Why would you put up a fancy crosswalk
with lighted signals over by Cliff Lake rd and not here? It doesn't make any sense.
24-Aug-19
366106 I think this intersection is going to get a lot of the same comments it always has so
please refer to previous studies on this DEADLY intersection. It doesn't matter if you
are a pedestrian, bike or car-something needs to change...arterial road or not.
24-Aug-19 I think the reason that you don’t hear about many accidents involving
pedestrians and bikes is because people just don’t walk or bike, even to places
where walking and biking would be ideal, like school parks and regional parks.
Parents just can’t say sure let’s bike with the kids when you’re crossing
the road like Cliff with a 50 mile an hour speed limit and drivers of cars that don’t
pay attention.

366107 Need crosswalks across northview park rd due to limited visibility to drivers and
people crossing northview park rd to trails- intensified danger due to athletic events.
24-Aug-19 YES YES YES! A lot of kids from DHMS and the HS cross right here to get into the
Lexington Square neighborhood and also the neighborhoods north. Cars are often
driving very fast, heading west, around the bend and Savannah Rd. is not visible until
you are right on it.
18-Nov-19
366108 Speedlimit of 30mph is to high in residential neighborhoods without sidewalks. Our
kids are riding bikes and walking to the bus stop in the street. It isn’t safe and
isn’t necessary to go that fast.
24-Aug-19
366113 Even though this is not a crosswalk, there needs to be something here. Too many
people running across 4-5 lanes to get to the shopping area while cars are turning
out of the lot and other cars trying to make that u-turn.
Also, the people taking rights out of the lot do not have right of way, u-turns are first,
there needs to be a sign on their stop sign that states u-turns do not have to stop.

366115 Need a ramp to get onto Wilderness run trail from south roads. There is no access
from Tiffany Drive, Oak Chase Road, and Wilderness Run Dr.
Many aging families here struggle to get up the embankment to access the trail.
Forced to walk on Wilderness Run Rd to gain access at next north intersection.
24-Aug-19 This is also needed for children on bikes. It creates unsafe situations when children
try and go down the bank to get to the park.

366116 Crossing at Pilot Knob is horrible. I was told this used to be a cross walk by the city of
Eagan. According to Eagan it was taken away since traffic was disrupted.
For families attempting to access Thomas Lake from the East it hard when you have
kids and dogs in tow.
We need a stop light cross walk for the crossing.
24-Aug-19 Yes VERY hard to cross. Dangerous intersection because drivers take right turns very
fast, as they are no sidewalks, potential for serious accident

366119 Cliff Rd is in dire need of a paved trail running from Lexington to at least the

366120 Let's put a traffic circle here to help slow down the traffic, allow for people to get out
of Daniel Drive, resist making U-Turns (after having exited Diffley Marketplace), and
enter/exit Northview Elementary.
24-Aug-19
366121 There are ramps to help us wheel wagons or strollers or wheelchairs from the side
walk, and across the driving lane, but then they stop. It's really hard to get up on the

All these lovely sidewalk cutouts were installed, and then they missed those two.

366123 I use this path from Daniel Drive down to Trapp Farm dozens of times each year. It's
frustrating that this one is closed again for the entire season, after it was closed just
two years ago. A simple sign describing the scope and timeline of the construction
project would have been an easy, helpful addition. Still haven't heard a single
update as to how long the path will be unavailable.
24-Aug-19
366124 I walk by this very regularly. Is there actually a maintained path here? I don't
recognize what is being pointed out with this purple line. If there's a path there, it's
not clearly indicated.
24-Aug-19 Unfortunately it only exists in plans. It's currently called the Rich Valley Greenway
but the county is working on renaming it the Veterans Memorial Greenway and
trying to get more funding sources. You can look up the Rich Valley Greenway
Master Plan to read more about it.
27-Aug-19
366125 I've never understood the purpose of this ring. Could there be a sign describing why
it's there?
24-Aug-19 It looks like it was graded to be an amphitheater but then they failed to manage the
water so the lower part is always soggy.
27-Aug-19
366126 The trails in and around Caponi are confusing. I'm not sure when I'm trespassing into
the park. Clearer signs regarding hours of use would be helpful.
24-Aug-19 Sad that safe routes are only legal during certain hours. Safety should be an
overriding concern at all hours of the day!
15-Dec-19
366129 Need bike/pedestrian path here to access Lebanon Hills. Road is too busy and fast
moving to safely walk or bike, especially for families wanting to access the beach or
visitor center.
25-Aug-19
366131 Please plow sidewalk on south side of cliff road as a priority in the wintertime. We
have a neighborhood group of kids that use it to walk home form the bus and if it's
not plowed they would have to walk along cliff road - far too busy to be safe.
25-Aug-19
366132 Please plow east side of sidewalk on Lexington as a priority in the winter. We have a
group of neighborhood kids that utilize it to walk home from the bus stop daily. It's
not safe to walk on Lexington in the winter if the sidewalk is not plowed.
25-Aug-19
366133 I would walk or bike to and from work every day if this intersection was not so scary.
Poor visibility, people in a hurry, and unmanaged traffic make it quite dangerous.
25-Aug-19
366134 This could be an alternate place to cross Wescott to get to TR If people weren’t
driving so quickly on Wescott. A sign like you have earlier on Wescott near
woodlands to yield to pedestrians and bikers would be helpful.
25-Aug-19
366135 I would love it if my kids could use their bikes to get to school, but this intersection is
frightening. People do not take turns at the stop sign, and frequently fail to yield to
give bikers a turn. In case it is not clear, I am referring to the Diffley and Dodd
intercection
25-Aug-19
366136 Everything about the Braddock Trail area makes it very difficult to trust sending my
kids to school on bikes. The drivers are so busy and not paying attention as well as
they should. It’s almost like there needs to be some alternate drop off place for
cars so that the bikers can be safe
25-Aug-19
366137 I think our trails are fine, but anytime you need to cross the street, it’s
frightening. Having speed limits of 45 and higher on major roads that we need to
cross makes the trails much less usable, particularly for kids who should be but
aren’t safe riding their bikes around the neighborhood
25-Aug-19
366138 I think the reason you don’t see a critical mass of pedestrian and bicycle injuries
And deaths is that people, especially families with children, just aren’t biking to
school, Boca parks, and regional parks, even though it would be ideal to do so.
It’s just too dangerous. When you have to cross busy streets like Cliff Road,
Diffley, Wescott, Dodd, etc., and the speed limits are 45 and 50 miles an hour with
distracted drivers rushing around it’s not worth it to take a chance even to enjoy
Eagan‘s great parks and schools
25-Aug-19
366139 I’d love to bike to go shopping in this area, but again, Eagan drivers are not bike
friendly. They are too fast, there’s no dedicated bike lanes are other markings
that would make them focus on possible bikers, and it just isn’t safe.
25-Aug-19
366144 Would like to see this trail connect through to Patrick Eagan park...specifically for
cycling.
26-Aug-19 Definitely agree that a paved path from the end of Berry Ridge Road, connection to
Patrick Eagan Park, and the other paved path from Diffley, would be an excellent,
and much needed, addition for these 3 neighborhoods.
15-Nov-19
366145 Is there a trail here? I have never seen an entrance off Dodd. If so, that's
AWESOME. I would LOVE the highline trail to extend east of Dodd and connect over

366146 Would like to see Deerwood and Northview Park Road have a dedicated bike lane
and have a more solid connection through Patrick Eagan/Lexington area.
26-Aug-19
366147 Need a better bike trail system into central park. Biking should be highly encouraged
and better promoted for events such as MarketFest, but given the increased traffic
due to the new shopping center it's not an easy area for biking. The following could
help make this better:
1. Dedicated bike lanes on Federal Drive
2. More bike racks in central park AND in the shopping centers
3. Bike lanes on Northwood Parkway
26-Aug-19
366148 Would like a bike rack here. Love to bike down here and then walk in the park, but
there isn't a good place to chain your bike to do that.
26-Aug-19
366149 It's really rough crossing via bike on the trail across the bridge. Improving the trail
surface would be helpful for bikes
26-Aug-19 The bridge side walk is not always well groomed after snow and can be very slippery
when using it on foot.

366330 People of all ages are crossing four-lanes of highway-speed vehicle traffic. Why is it
45 mph in a school zone???? (Last week I noted that someone else posted a
comment about kids crossing in this area, but their comment has mysteriously
disappeared.)
1-Sep-19 Dangerous. Kids will cross here on foot and bike. Add school zone. Add tunnel.
Currently they do try to cross anyway (all of the time) and encounter those median
curbs as an unperceived slow down and 'kick back' into the traffic lane.
15-Nov-19
366331 Many residents are concerned about the safety of pedestrians in and around this
intersection. All around Eagan there are neighborhoods without sidewalks/trails.
The State of MN has given cities the right to lower speed limits without MNDoT
input. Eagan City Council - Now is the time to lower neighborhood speed limits.
(There was a similar message posted last week, but it has vanished. Hmmmm...)

366362 Consider doing more to make the crosswalk on Nicols more visible to drivers, who
often don't slow down for pedestrians. Issues in winter with sidewalk clearance at
the Transit station -- it can be perilous to walk there
3-Sep-19 Transit station access needs to be the priority here.10-Dec-19
366363 What is taking so long with the trail/sidewalk extension? There's enough pedestrian
traffic and biking traffic to justify wide trails on BOTH sides of CGPkwy all the way
down to Rahn road
3-Sep-19
366364 The sidewalk/trail on the southeast side of Cedar Grove Parkway between Cedar
Grove Trail and Nicols is **often** a sheet of solid ice in winter -- it wasn't graded
properly. Snow melts in the sun and then pools/freezes instead of running off. V.
hazardous to walk.
3-Sep-19
366495 Can there be traffic calming measures at Cliff and Pilot Knob? Or a safer pedestrian
crossing method? It can be dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists to cross both of
these roads at this intersection.
9-Sep-19 Agree on the urgency of this - remember the death of Eagan mom 33-year-old
Alayna Tanaka at this intersection. Maybe reduced speed limit? Could adding lanes
to Cliff Road make this intersection more dangerous?
11-Sep-19
366892 I would like more designated bike routes along roads like Wescott and Deerwood.
Also add bike turn lanes. When bikers have a designated place on the road, they are
more likely to use it and more likely to be seen by cars.
15-Sep-19 Cars traveling west on Westscott that approach Lexington and plan to turn North on
Lexington are mainly looking left to see if they can make a quick stop and right turn,
and don't look right at the people or bikes on the sidewalk waiting to cross. There is
also a growth of trees and bushes that make if hard to see people on the sidewalk
until they get to the intersections. Recommend clearing out some of the bushes to
people/bikes are more visible.

367169 Not only is this a dangerous intersection in general but if Southbound on Pilot Knob
and on the West side of PK, bicyclists are forced to cross to the East side as there is
no North/South path on the West side of Pilot Knob between Yankee Doodle and
Duckwood Drive. Either that, or ride in traffic on Southbound Pilot Knob.
18-Sep-19
367171 No way to stay out of traffic going Southbound on Pilot Knob without crossing to the
West side of the road where where the only bike/pedestrian path exists.
18-Sep-19
367172 Crossing the on ramp to 35E using the Northbound path on Pilot Knob is an absolute
nightmare, especially during morning and evening rush hour. No one will stop!
18-Sep-19 Echoing the concerns of the I-35 / Pilot Knob interchange for bike options. All are
dangerous and poor given the need to change from trail-on-west to trail-on-east,
dodge morning traffic, and then back to trail-on-west to eventually cut into
Bloomington. Terrible setup for bike commuters at that location and extremely
dangerous.
15-Nov-19
367175 As a regular bike commuter I would say shared ped/bike paths are not safe. Peds
are walking dogs, on their phones, have ear buds in. etc. Dedicated lanes on these
paths should be the bare minimum. Eagan has almost no dedicated bike lanes that I
am aware of. Infrastructure to encourage recreational use of bikes and bike
commuting is almost non-existant.
18-Sep-19
368528 There is a single unmarked guy wire that crosses the pedestrian path at this point
that is low enough to interfere with cyclists. There are a variety of other guy wires
supporting poles in that location, but the others are marked with a yellow protective

371507 Eagan has been a leader when it comes to recreation trails for walkers and cyclists;
however, the city lacks safe options for walking and biking as transportation.
Residents tell me frequently that they do no feel safe letting their kids walk and bike
to school. These fears exacerbate already serious traffic issues as parents drive kids
to school, creating major back ups and increasing the number of cars on our
roads—making it even more dangerous for kids on foot or bikes. We have
amenities such as the public library, Cascade Bay and the Civic Arena that cannot be
safely accessed by pedestrians in near by neighborhoods. There are limited
crosswalks, and the light at the heavily traveled pilot knob intersection does not
provide adequate time for pedestrians to cross. There are excellent examples of how
communities can become walkable and bikeable. Eagan prides itself on being
attractive to young families and being a great place to work. In order to continue to
attract young families and build our workforce, it’s important that we invest in
bike and pedestrian transportation safety and infrastructure.
5-Nov-19 This is a really good analysis, and I think it raises the crux of the matter in Eagan:
because pedestrian traffic is so poorly architected, people dont feel safe as
pedestrians, so they only drive (especially with kids) and never walk, which only
leads to more cars that make car-traffic more unsafe. The overwhelming feeling I
always get when I drive back to eagan every day is that cars almost intentionally
dont see pedestrians because its so uncommon they completely forget to check for
them. When I drive in Minneapolis/St. Paul, every car checks and waits for
pedestrians. That never happens here because its extremely unsafe to be a
pedestrian in the first place. It feels like a problem that keeps digging itself deeper.
I also agree that this will deter young families from moving here. I am a young
person who is looking to start my family in a location where I can teach my kids that
they should be able to walk most places and not rely heavily on an individual car.

Ridge hosts Summer in the Park, Preschool, Ice Skating, Soccer (formal tourneys &
informal play for kids), not to mention the city has worked hard to make it a cool
PLAYGROUND. There needs to be a safe connection from the east side of Dodd to
access Bridle Ridge Park! Speed on Dodd at this crossing is a major concern as well as
increased traffic with the new neighborhood going in as well as Tiperary
neighborhood which is relatively new too.

371524 LexDiff is regularly utilized by the community youth for sports & the skate park.
Many kids ride bikes to get to summer sports camps at LexDiff. Also, community
members and youth regularly utilize the retail on both corners of this intersection.
Residents also cross here to access the public transit stop on Diffley. The intersection
needs stronger pedestrian lights/signage for drivers. I have seen many close calls
where drivers are turning and don't look both ways to see if a bike/ped is crossing.
Speed limit should be reduced with the consideration that is is a park & school area.
5-Nov-19
371528 Daniel & Diffley needs a controlled crossing for school access or a tunnel. My DHMS
student says kids cross and go the back way down the path by Northview to access
DHMS for two reason: 1.Entering at the DHMS entrance off Braddock is also
dangerous with all of the cars & busses waiting to turn in 2. The DHMS bike racks are
on the side of the school closest to this "short-cut". Dr. Johnson (DHMS principal)
recommends parents to use EHS lots to drop students and have them walk up to
DHMS, that right there should indicate how big of a problem safe access to DHMS is.
RIP Patric.

371535 There should be an access point from the parking lot to the walking/biking path for

curved driveway to access the shops & restaurant is dangerous.
5-Nov-19 I live near Hawthorne Woods Drive and Eastwood Court, and we love walking to Trail
Stop, Caseys, etc. Right now, to do so without cutting through yards or j-walking we
would need to take HWD to Hackmore, to Dodd to cross Diffley at a crosswalk, then
take Diffley to get where we're going. This adds about 45 minutes to an hour to an
otherwise 20 minute or less round trip walk. I'd love to see a path along Diffley from
Hawthorne Woods Drive to Highway 3 to make this shorter than the long loop and
safer than running across between cars.
4-Dec-19
371809 Traffic, especially those turning left from Deerwood onto Pilot Knob, do not always

371810 Consider adding warning lights at uncontrolled crosswalks that would be activated
by the pedestrian. I know St Paul has at least one on Cleveland Ave. very helpful for

371811 In a city claiming to be walkable, it certainly lacks in the ability to do so. One way
streets, u-turns, yellow flashing left-turn lights that hinder the ability to see traffic
from behind them.. And public sidewalks that do not get plowed, despite many
requests. It ha become much more difficult to walk/bike in the last 4-5 years. This
does not sound like part of the 20 year plan.

371832 This intersection is so dangerous. We really need a sidewalk / bike path that runs on
the south side of wilderness road and cuts in at a 45 degree angle along East Thomas
Lake to the south of the large electric tower over to the new cross walk they put in.
There is a regular flow of walkers and bike traffic along wilderness run road on the
south side of that corner where the tower is and you can not see them when
traveling North on Pilot Knob and making an East turn onto Wilderness Run. There is
no bike lane there. The tower is in the way. Traffic heading East on Wilderness Run
Road has to move out into the crosswalk to even begin to see if they can turn. At
least move the large utility boxes out of the way and curve that corner with a
sidewalk, especially in the winter.
15-Nov-19 I agree with comments above. With the “highline†trail being a major
pedestrian artery through our city, their should be some form of traffic control
present. I have almost gotten hit numerous times trying to cross.

371861 I feel Eagan shows it does not care about pedestrian safety by not maintaining the
sidewalks on the north side of Diffley Rd between Pilot Knob and Johnny Cake.
Pedestrians are forced to cross Diffley at Wenzel as there is no way to get to a traffic
light in the winter and sidewalk is blocked with snow and not maintained by the city.
Our neighborhood has made several requests to plow north side and always told it's
not in Eagan city budget

28-Nov-19 This is the most dangerous crosswalk in Eagan in my opinion. Cars coming downhill

stop, cars dart around them on the right side of the car. People in front of the cars
almost get clipped. There are crosswalk warning signs on Lexington, we need those

stop, cars dart around them on the right side of the car. People in front of the cars
almost get clipped. There are crosswalk warning signs on Lexington, we need those
to flash when there’s someone in the crosswalk. A simple button at the crosswalk
that causes lights to blink would be perfect. The neighborhoods around this
intersection are turning over to young families with young kids on bikes. Please
consider adding flashing lights to this crosswalk.

372107 This area is a common crossing spot for pedestrians and bicyclists. We miss the
designated crosswalk and feel that more should be done for safe access to continue
on Highline Trail. There should be a safe way to cross both for adults and families
with children. The nearest safe crossing (stoplight) is over a half mile away in either
direction. For those of us with kids in tow, or with a wheelchair or similar, this extra
mile (1/2 mile or more there and back) makes the park inaccessible from Wilderness
Run Road.

372164 Poor crossing conditions for students and community 3-Dec-19
372165 This overall intersection is not safe for pedestrians. Insufficient overhead lighting,

turn from Slater coming North on to Cliff going East).

372166 Vehicles coming north on slater often form two lanes (turn, going straight) which

372170 The city built a lovely facility for unstructured play at Patrick Eagan Park but for
children to go there without an adult requires them to cross Lexington with cars at

need to cooperate on a safe crossing here ASAP.
4-Dec-19
372171 Many cities are implementing LPI (Leading Pedestrian Interval) at critical
intersections - it essentially gives the pedestrians a head start crossing the street
before cars can turn right so that the the motorist can clearly see the pedestrian in
the crosswalk rather than them both entering the crosswalk at the same time. It's
been shown to reduce car/pedestrian accidents. Eagan should consider it at
intersections with a lot of pedestrian traffic.

372172 Pedestrians/cyclists traveling east on Wilderness Run are vulnerable to fast traffic

372179 I've seen children perched on the median here trying to cross from the apartments

behind you will hit you or the kid will think you're letting them cross but the car in
the next lane won't stop. It is very dangerous.

372180 All the studies say that roundabouts reduce traffic accidents, which is true, but they
make it much harder for cyclists and pedestrians to cross the street because the cars
don't stop in a predictable way. Maybe the crosswalks need to happen back a ways
from where vehicles enter the roundabout.

372186 the sidewalks on lexington and northview park road are never plowed to allow for
pedestrian traffic, specifically kids walking to school safely. When I was a kid and
went to Dakota hills and Eagan High school, I had to have my mom drive me to and
from school every day because I did not live far away enough to be opted in for
buses, but in order to walk to school in the winter my only options where to rough it
2 miles each way in waist deep snow on the 'sidewalk' or walk in the plowed street.
And those streets are ALWAYS full of very fast traffic, nobody would ever consider it
a safe option for anybody, let alone a school kid.
Not plowing the sidewalks in the winter makes them unusable.
4-Dec-19
372187 the entrance here is never plowed fully, which leads cars trying to stop at the stop
sign to slide into busy Lexington
4-Dec-19
372188 No crosswalk to the school from our side of the road and no safe way (sidewalk or
shoulder) to get to the lights/existing crosswalk. We almost get clipped by cars often
and we have orange flags and multiple parents walking with the kids twice a day.
Have been in touch with the city, the county and the school district for about a year
with no success.

372189 It would be great to have the sidewalk plowed between Northview Park Road and
the Park, and the High School “loser lotâ€. It’s dangerous to have to walk in
the street with the kids and park visitors driving down it too quickly. In addition, it
would be lovely if you could also plow the sidewalks that go around the equipment
house and the far softball fields. Thank you. I know this isn’t the space for this
but enforcing leash laws would really help my walks in the park. There are so many
off leash dogs lately that I’m unable to walk in the park anymore. That is why the
space around the equipment house would help. I have been in contact with a police
officer about it, so he is aware , but just this morning there two loose in the dark.
4-Dec-19
372190 The city needs to plow the north side of Diffley Rd between Johnny Cake and Pilot
Knob. By not plowing the sidewalk it blocks pedestrians access to the traffic lights on
Pilot Knob and Johnny Cake forcing pedestrians to cross at Wenzel which is an
unmarked intersection. There also should be a pedestrian controlled crosswalk at
this intersection. It really makes one feel the city of Eagan does not care about
pedestrian safety as the request to plow the north side has been denied whenever it
is brought up.

372194 In the planning phase of the West St Paul-Mendota Heights-Eagan Area Schools
(District 197) bond referendum, a new crosswalk was included on Lone Oak Road. A
crosswalk is critical to the safety of children who must cross Lone Oak Road to get to
school or to access public grounds. Adequate signage should be added or updated so
that the school zone and speed limits are clear and obvious to drivers on Lone Oak
Road. A crosswalk for pedestrians would make a significant impact in preventing an
accident. Traffic on Lone Oak Road habitually breaks the standard speed limits and
especially the school zone speed limits.

Appendix D: Winter Trail Maintenance Guidelines
CITY COUNCIL POLICY
SUBJECT: WINTER MAINTENANCE OF SIDEWALKS AND TRAILWAYS
DATE ADOPTED: October 15, 1996
REVISED: June 2, 1998; April 15, 2003; Sept. 16, 2008; June 7, 2011;
November 19, 2013; April 17, 2018
Background: In response to numerous requests to have the City’s sidewalk and trailway
system maintained year around, the City Council adopted a formal policy in October of
1996. After an initial trial period of evaluating two seasons of winter maintenance on a
limited segment (3.8 miles) of trails and sidewalks, the City Council expanded the
program in June of 1998 to include 56 miles deemed necessary to meet the basic
pedestrian needs of the community. Every year since then, the Council has carefully
reviewed all requests for additions or changes to the approved system.
When the original program was first initiated, the Council also evaluated the cost and
time frames associated with providing this new service with City personnel and
equipment or through private contractual services. Up until 2008-09, the City had
contracted out this service delivery program.
However, State legislation, budget constraints and economic projections resulted in a
need to change the way this Winter Trail Maintenance Program was provided without
reducing the number of trails themselves. The Park System plan states “Prudent decision
making regarding snow plowing must consider the actual amount of trail use gained
given the level of investment required”. Subsequently, the 2009 Budget process
eliminated funds for the continued use of contractual services, requiring this service
delivery program to be performed solely with City resources as a secondary priority to
the City’s larger Snow and Ice Control program for local streets.
Purpose: The City of Eagan developed a formal policy in order to respond in an orderly,
consistent, and fiscally responsible manner to the desires of the community for a basic
Winter Trail and Sidewalk Maintenance Program. After reviewing the extent of
sidewalks and trails that exist within the community, the City Council has continually
reviewed and determined which of those segments meet the City’s basic criteria for
inclusion in a winter maintenance program.
Criteria: The updated plan adopted by Council action on June 4, 2013 incorporates
approximately 72.6 miles of the current 116.5 mile system. The following criteria will be
used to determine whether a segment of sidewalk and/or trailway should be included in
the winter trail maintenance program:
1. Trails along Major Arterial Roads. These are thoroughfare roads with 4+ traffic
lanes, traffic volumes greater than 5,000 vehicles per day and speed limits of 45 mph
or greater.
2. Trails along Community Collectors. These are thoroughfare roads with 2 traffic lanes
(with safety lanes/shoulders) or 4 full lanes of traffic with volumes greater than 3,000
vehicles per day and speed limits from 35-45 mph.
3. Trails along Neighborhood Collector Streets. These are local streets approximately 1
mile in length with 2 traffic lanes (with safety lanes/shoulders), traffic volumes less
than 3,000 vehicles per day and speed limits of 35 mph or greater.
4. Local School Walking Routes. These are trails and sidewalks that are relied upon by
the school districts for designated walkers under their bus transportation policy.
5. Transit Routes. These are trails and sidewalks that are located along scheduled transit
routes with designated transit stops (i.e. signs, shelters, benches or stations)
maintained by the MVTA and are also located within or adjacent to high density
residential areas, retails centers or high density employment centers.
6. Other. The Council’s discretion will be used to designate other segments as
necessary to provide continuity, designated recreational loops, etc.
Operational Policies:
Specific operational policies are hereby adopted to implement a Winter Trail and
Sidewalk Maintenance Program on an efficient, prioritized and equitable basis as
conditions and resources allow. These Operational Policies will be evaluated periodically
by the City Council as necessary to determine the appropriateness of discontinuing,
maintaining or modifying the program.
1. Snow removal operations will be performed with City staff and equipment.
2. Snow fall attributes and operational responses can vary significantly by event and
seasonal occurrence. The City will attempt to complete all sidewalk and trial snow
removal operations as quickly as possible. However, depending on the severity of
the snow event, the moisture content, temperature, seasonal accumulation totals,
frequency of back to back storms and other weather prediction factors, this may tak e
up to several weeks.
a. Sidewalk and trailway snow removal operations will be performed only after a
minimum of 2” of snow has accumulated resulting from a snowfall event.
b. Accumulations resulting from drifting and/or depositions resulting from public
street snow removal operations will be performed as determined necessary by the
City.
c. City-wide snow removal operations on trails and sidewalks will begin after all
public street snow removal operations have been completed and/or when deemed
necessary by the City in coordination with public street snow removal operations.
d. Snow removal operations on trails and sidewalks will be performed by City
personnel during the standard work day (7:00 am to 3:30 pm, M-F) and limited
overtime hours, as directed by the Transportation and Operations Engineer or his
designee. For safety reasons, no operator shall work more than a twelve-hour
shift in any twenty-four hour period.
e. Due to the varying width of sidewalks and trails combined with the different types
of specialty equipment necessary to maintain them, designated trails and
sidewalks will be grouped into districts by attributes and location with a
progression plan based on efficiency. For heavier snow events, excessive
seasonal accumulations or back to back storm events, it may become necessary to
modify the normal progression based on a Priority Response Plan approved by the
Council. Priorities will take into consideration walking routes to schools, high
density residential neighborhoods, major retail commercial centers, transit stops,
and efficient use of equipment resources.
3. The level of service will be limited to what can be provided by mechanical
equipment. Due to the limitations of mechanical equipment and trail irregularities,
pathways may not be cleared or maintained to a dry pavement standard. No hand
work will be performed by the City. Surface irregularities and slippery conditions
may result. No ice control (sanding or salting) will be performed by the City.
4. It is to be expected that snow can be plowed, blown, swept or dumped on public
right-of-way and drainage easements on either side of the sidewalk/trail as needed
for the best efficiency of operation.
5. Reasonable attempts will be made not to deposit excessive snow in driveways and/or
private sidewalks if is operationally or mechanically controllable. However, the
removal of any plow spillage that may result will be the responsibility of the
adjacent property owner and/or occupant.
6. The City will not be responsible for sand, salt or incidental plow damage to turf or
driveways, nor irrigation systems, fencing or any landscaping improvements located
within public rights-of-way or adjacent drainage easements. Any related repair will
be the responsibility of the adjacent property owners and/or occupant.
7. In order to perform snow removal operations, pathways must remain free of any
obstructions (i.e., vehicles, refuse containers, play equipment, implements, etc.) until
the pathway snow clearing operation has been completed. If obstructions are
encountered, the City’s operation may skip portions of the affected property frontage
and the subsequent removal will be the responsibility of the adjacent property owner
and/or occupant.
8. School districts will be expected to perform snow removal operations on those
segments of public trails and sidewalks adjacent to their property as necessary to
accommodate designated walkers according to their bus transportation policy.
Plan Adoption:
The sidewalks and trails designated to be maintained by the City of Eagan will be so
referenced on the most recent map adopted by Council action and kept on file in the
Department of Public Works.
Process for Modifications to Approved Plan:
With approximately 38% of the system not being maintained and new trail/sidewalk
segments being constructed each year, it is anticipated there will be requests for other
segments to be added. Due to the cost and/or time to add additional segments to the
overall maintenance program, it is necessary that a need and benefit be demonstrated to
justify additions to the Winter Trail Maintenance system. Subsequently, no public
request will be considered unless accompanied by a petition of at least 50 property
owners or employees of businesses located within 1/2 mile of the segment to be
considered. All requests/petitions must be submitted in writing by April 1st. If the Public
Works Director, or his designee, find a petitioned request to adequately meet the
aforementioned criteria (#1-#4), said segment of sidewalk and/or trail may be added to
the Winter Trail and Sidewalk Maintenance Program. Any such added sidewalk and/or
trail segment will then be presented to the Council at the next available Council
Workshop with formal action taken at a subsequent regular Council meeting for possible
inclusion into the following season’s program.

shared walking and biking paths are not safe for either walkers or bikers. Protected bike
lanes is the way to go. Keep bike paths out of Lebanon Hills Regional Park! Around the
edge is okay. Three suggestions: 1. Protected bike lanes in the street is better for serious
bikers. 2. Keep bike paths plowed in winter for biking and walking. 3. Biker education on
rules of the road.
• A bike rider noted that Highway 13 is a gap and that he has to ride on the roadway to get to
work.
• Add sidewalks around Red Pine Elementary School.
• Add trails along CR 3 east of Lebanon Hills Regional Park.
• Great system of off-road trails.
• Gap along Highway 13 and need access into Fort Snelling State Park.
• There is a gap on Pilot Knob Road over 35E on the west side.
• Thomas Lake Park is well connected.
• Need more trails maintained in the winter.
• A connection to Moonshine Park from Pilot Knob Road would be good (2x).
• Lone Oak Road has a gab down the hill to Highway 13.
• Paths are important to get kids on bikes to the Zoo.
• Need a better trail on the Pilot Knob bridge over 494.

Purpose of Meeting
The purpose of the meeting was to provide an update on the Eagan Bicycle and Pedestrian

Summary of Meeting
SRF provided a project overview and described the purpose of this meeting which is to get input
from stakeholders who have interest in or knowledge about transportation and transit with a focus
on pedestrians and bicycles for the Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Master Plan. The
following comments and discussion points were made at the meeting:
• The comment was made that the process is more of a gap analysis and not a goal-based
process. There should be user-based goals including increased walkability and user
education.
• It was suggested that there be pilot projects that look at 20-minute neighborhoods such as in
Portland, Oregon that provide options for walking or biking to grocery stores, parks and
schools. If there are multiple pilots, there could be different ideas tested and this information
could be shared or reproduced elsewhere in Eagan.
• The comment was made that education is very important.
• It was noted that income should be factored into the analysis
• What is being done to look at needs of bicycle commuters?
• Check to make sure all safety lanes are included in mapping.
• The question was asked whether the Council should consider updating the bike/ped
standards that are 20-30 years old.
• The comment was made that we need to develop a project vision and goals and then provide
recommendations for projects based on the goals.
City of Eagan October 17, 2019

• It was suggested that the City standards be reviewed as the goals are developed.
• Trails along County roads may be eligible for CTIP funding which is taxed through the
County.
• It was noted that the project needs a value or goal-based set of criteria.
• It was noted that there are different types of needs including bike facilities in neighborhoods
that are not the same as those needed for commuting.
• It was noted that connections from neighboring communities needs to be shown.
• It was noted that the level of traffic stress is an important component of studies like this.
• Note that a commitment to all ages and abilities is important.
• The question was asked whether the City has a mission statement for biking and walking.
• One goal may be to make the system user-friendly.
• Yankee Doodle and Pilot Knob Rd and Duckwood and Lexington Avenue are two
intersections of concern for peds and bikes.
• It was suggested to shift the focus from recreation to transportation and that an
unobstructed safe environment with clear routes for users are important.
• The question was asked what the nature of a trail or sidewalk is and whether it is for
neighborhood access or to get across town.
• Need to consider a multi-modal approach that includes all users and activities such as family,
shoppers and leisure users.

Transportation Master Plan (BPTMP) project and get input from the Project Advisory Committee.
Summary of Meeting

from stakeholders on the project vision and goals. SRF staff reviewed the project process to-date
and next steps. City staff then provided an update on the Diffley Road School Crossing project.
The group discussed the vision and each goal separately and the following comments and discussion
points were made.
Vision Statement
• The vision as presented to the committee reads: “Eagan envisions a community where
residents and visitors can navigate the city safely and comfortably by bicycle and walking to
connect people to places, improve health and the environment, and elevate quality of life for
city residents of all ages and abilities.”
• The following comments were made about the vision statement:
o It would be better to represent cycling commuters within the vision statement as well
as commuters from outside the city.
o Clearly state that safety is a priority for bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure in the
City.

Mobility Goal
The mobility goal as presented to the committee reads: “Increase bicycling and walking access to
businesses and community destinations by designing and maintaining bicycle and pedestrian
networks that offer continuous, high-quality, comfortable connections.”
• The following comments were made about the Mobility goal:
o Incorporate safety into all goal statements
o Clearly state transit connections as part of the mobility goal
Connectivity Goal
The connectivity goal as presented to the committee reads: Make bicycling and walking a viable
alternative for Eagan residents and visitors, shifting the focus to include transportation as well as
recreation and developing unobstructed, clear routes.”
• The following comments were made about the Connectivity goal:
o The connectivity goal should include reference to bicycle commuters and transit
users.
o The word developing doesn’t properly communicate the intention of the connectivity
goal. Whereas, the work ensuring would fit better because it conveys fixing,
completing, and improving.
Integration Goal
The integration goal as presented to the committee reads: “Integrate walking and bicycling into
community planning to enhance livability, health, transportation, the environment, and economic
development.”
• The following comments were made about the Integration goal:
o Commuters should be added to the integration goal.
o Transit connections is an important component of the integration goal and should
be included.
Maintenance Goal
The maintenance goal as presented to the committee reads: “Maintain the walking and bicycling
system year-round.”
• The following comments were made about the Maintenance goal:
o The question was asked about who maintains facilities along trails including dog bag
stations and trash receptacles.
o There was a brief discussion about winter maintenance, and it was noted that the
City Council has discussed winter trail maintenance in the last three years. Although
there is a desire to maintain more trails in the winter, the council understands the
cost and staffing implications of more maintenance.

Safety Goal
The safety goal as presented to the committee reads: “Provide safe and comfortable walking and
bicycling facilities for Eagan residents of all ages and abilities.”
• The following comments were made about the safety goal:
o It is good to have a goal specifically related to safety but safety should be inherent in
every goal.
Programs Goal
The programs goal as presented to the committee reads: “Promote the safety and attractiveness of
walking and bicycling through education, encouragement, and enforcement programs.”
• The following comments were made about the programs goal:
o Use the Experience Eagan Newsletter to educate and encourage a 20-minute
neighborhood pedestrian plan.
o The newsletter could also be used to remind bikers and trail users about sharing
the trail with others, including dog walkers.
o Educate bicyclists on the safe use of roundabouts (Take the Lane).
o Encourage businesses to become Bike Friendly Businesses.
General Comments
• It was noted that including a measurable component to the goals would be beneficial in
tracking the success of meeting the goal. Some ideas for metrics include:
o Add X miles of trail in X years (5, 10, etc.)
o The rate of trail users and growth per year in user rates
o Track fatalities associated with trails and sidewalks with the goal of zero deaths
• Add a facilities goal to address needs for furnishings city-wide
o Benches
o Trash receptacles
o Bike parking
o Lighting
o Signage
o Repair stations
• Work with businesses within the City to add more bicycle and pedestrian facilities.
• The BPTMP should be tied to Green Steps and the City’s Comprehensive Plan to ensure the
documents work together.
• It was noted that there is a lack of city-wide bike parking at restaurants, retail destinations
and business centers.
After the discussion of the vision and goals, the group agreed that reviewing specific projects
associated with each goal can be done after the meeting. SRF staff explained that for the mobility,
connectivity and integration goals, there is are lists of projects that relate directly to the goals. SRF
will send a summary packet after the meeting that will list the goals and projects.

CITY OF EAGANBICYCLE & PEDESTRIAN TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLANEAGAN CITY COUNCILSEPTEMBER 8, 2020
Special City Council Workshop
September 8, 2020
IV. CARES FUNDING PLAN
Action to Be Considered:
Review and provide direction on proposed uses for Coronavirus Relief Funds from the State of
Minnesota under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act
Facts:
➢ On July 7, 2020 the City Council approved acceptance of up to $5,149,281 in Coronavirus Relief
Funds. The funds can be used to support local government services as well as grants to
businesses and individuals who have been impacted by COVID-19.
➢ The City Council approved a Resolution on August 18, 2020 supporting participation in the
Dakota County Small Business Relief Grant Program. As of the August 14, 2020 application
deadline, Dakota County has received 237 small business relief grant applications from Eagan
businesses. The CDA is currently working to notify businesses and collect eligibility and cost
documentation. The County expects to fund all applications with already-designated County
and City CARES funds.
➢ At the September 1, 2020 meeting, the City Council authorized submittal of $1,461,000 in
COVID-19 relief expenses for the City, resulting in $3,639,000 of CARES Act Funding remaining.
➢ Loss of revenues are not an eligible use of the funds.
➢ All CARES Act funds must be expended by November 15, 2020 or they will revert back to Dakota
County. However, recent discussion and communication from various organizations to which the
City is a member suggests the date may be extended.
➢ Remaining eligible expenses the City may yet incur and could be eligible for reimbursement are
listed in the attached draft disbursement plan, along with a further explanation of their usage,
and the likelihood of reimbursement eligibility.
➢ The City of Eagan has received the following written requests for CARES Act funding:
o Fairview Ridges Hospital in Burnsville: $85,077 (proportional market share of Eagan
admissions to Ridges Hospital)
o 360 Communities: $25,000
o Dakota County Regional Chamber of Commerce: $9,132
o Eagan Convention and Visitor’s Bureau: $50,000
➢ Staff expects to receive a funding request from the Open Door as well. Staff has indicated the
City may consider their request, based on availability of funds. Other non-profits in the
community may also request consideration. Any written requests will be added to the meeting
packet as they are received.
➢ Nonprofits are required to submit similar revenue, employment, and eligible cost
documentation as is required by for-profit businesses.
➢ The Dakota County CDA recommends that households needing rent, mortgage, or utility
assistance apply to Minnesota Housing’s COVID-19 Housing Assistance Program rather than
creating new City-operated programs.
Policy Issues:
Staff is seeking direction and feedback from the City Council, with the following questions to consider:
1.) Since it appears there is adequate funds to meet the small businesses relief grant program
needs, does the City Council want to consider the creation of a City -run grant program for larger
businesses (e.g. 51-100 FTE)?
2.) Does the City Council wish to look into a program that would allow for grants to non-profits? If
so, what are the parameters or guidelines the Council would suggest for such a program?
3.) Is the City Council interested in considering a grant to Fairview Ridges Hospital, and if so, to
what amount and what parameters should be considered?
4.) Is the City Council interested in considering a grant to the other non-profit organizations that
made formal, written requests to the City, and if so, to what amount and what parameters
should be considered?
5.) Is the current draft plan for future disbursement of CARES fund acceptable to the City Council?

Dear Mr. Osberg:
I am writing with more details to support Ridges Hospital’s Coronavirus Relief Fund request.
Of the almost 63,000 COVID-19 cases diagnosed in Minnesota, 4610 or 7.3%, are from Dakota
County (3rd in State). Twenty-three percent of Eagan residents admitted to a hospital in 2019
were admitted to Ridges Hospital and twenty-six percent more were admitted to a sister Fairview
hospital. As Ridges Hospital cares for almost 60% of Emergency patients in its Primary Service
Area, many Eagan residents requiring emergency care and hospitalization received care at
Ridges and will continue to do so as the coronavirus pandemic continues.
As we noted earlier, our pandemic-related costs have included supplies and equipment such as
Personal Protective Equipment to keep our staff and patients safe, infrastructure changes to treat
COVID-19 patients and ensure a safe environment for staff and non-COVID patients, and
training and education to prepare staff for the demands of the coronavirus pandemic.
Ridges Hospital received $4,890,597 in CARES Act Provider Relief Funds out of $175 billion
distributed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to hospitals and healthcare
providers. This did help alleviate some of the early impact of COVID-19. Unfortunately, during
the months of March through June, Ridges lost $23,706,236 in revenue due to, for instance,
patients canceling or deferring non-time-sensitive surgeries and other procedures.
Ridges Hospital’s requests of local governments focus solely on the incremental costs due to
COVID-19 which totaled $871,694 from March through June. The amount we are requesting,
$85,077, is the proportional market share of inpatient admissions to Ridges Hospital which
Eagan represents, 9.76%, multiplied by this cost figure. We expect our incremental, excess costs
due to COVID-19 to continue to grow through the remainder of 2020 and into 2021 with little, if
any, potential for additional coronavirus pandemic funding expected from federal or state
sources.

Dear Eagan City Council Members,
I understand that the Council is determining how to utilize CARES Act funding. I request your
consideration in funding 360 Communities $25,000. Annually, we support over 870 Eagan residents
throughout our programs. Our programs provide food and basic needs support, housing stability,
referral to employment resources, help with medical and utility costs, safety from domestic and sexual
violence, assistance with education, and youth development. COVID-19 has exacerbated the challenges
Eagan residents are facing. We are committed to meeting the increase in demand now while building
the capacity required to support our community members through the long and uncertain "recovery"
phase. CARES Act funding from the City of Eagan will help us accomplish our mission during this
unprecedented time.
CARES Act funding will be used to cover critical business costs including:
• Payroll costs for our Volunteer Manager who leads volunteers serving individuals at our two
Resource Centers and Eagan Lewis House
• Support of the Partners for Success program in Eagan (ISD 196), including payroll and technology
needs
• Payroll costs for our Financial Assistance Worker
• Support for our Eagan Lewis House, domestic violence shelter
• Purchase of food for our food shelves
Funding for these items would provide critical organizational stability during a time when we have not
been able to hold our normal fundraising events. I am grateful for the consistent and trusting
relationship we share with the City of Eagan. This includes program partnerships with ISD 196 and Eagan
Police Department. With your support, we can ensure 360 Communities is able to provide help in the
moment and hope for the future.
Thank you for your consideration. Please contact me directly for additional information if appropriate at
952-985-4004 or Ibolin@360communities.org.

Dear Mr. Osberg,
On behalf of the Dakota County Regional Chamber of Commerce and its members located in the City of
Eagan we would like to request expense reimbursement for expenses incurred during the COVID -19
pandemic from the period of March 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020. It is our understanding a portion
of the Cares Act funds the City of Eagan can be designated to assist small businesses that have suffered
financially due to COVID pandemic. We understand eligible expenses are available to assist with payroll,
rent mortgage payments, utility bills and other operational expenses.
The DCR Chamber is incorporated as a 501 ( c )6 organization and has been in business for over 50 years
serving the City of Eagan as well other communities throughout Dakota County. The City of Eagan is the
largest city the Chamber represents with over 58% of its member businesses in Eagan. We provide a
variety of services for our member businesses such as educational programs, networking events,
community outreach, affordable marketing opportunities to promote their businesses. Since March 1,
2020 the Chamber has experienced financial losses due to the COVID -19.
The DCR Chamber and its Board of Directors agreed that we would continue to service our member
businesses if they could not pay their membership invoices and we would revisit their financial situation
by year end. We feel very strongly that we are the conduit, the connector and the conveyor of critical
information for businesses to survive during these challenging times. We are currently offering the
following for all our members during the pandemic:
• Free educational programs geared towards business operations, marketing and sales,
administration
• Resources and consulting to businesses for small business loans, grants, PPP loans, and other
financial resources
• Free marketing and advertising in our weekly updates
• Distributed over 100,000+ masks to Businesses and residents in Eagan and Dakota County
Due to these changes in operations, delivery of services, and income we have experienced 38
decrease in our year to date budget. The following are expenses we would like to request for
consideration to be reimbursed per the eligible expense reimbursements for the period of March 1 -
August 31, 2020.
Rent & Utilities $2,632.00
Internet/phone: $1,500
Advertising expenses (website & weekly Update) COVID-19 resources: $4,000
Program expenses (email marketing, event,IT) $1,000.00
Total request for reimbursement $9,132.00
The Dakota County Regional Chamber of Commerce meets all the criteria under the Cares Act funding
for small business. Attached you will find our year to date financial statement through the end July
2020.
Sincerely,
Maureen Scallen Failor
President
Dakota County Regional Chamber of Commerce

Re: Proposed CARES Act Marketing Investments
Dear Mayor Maguire and City Council Members:
Thank you for making our organization aware of the opportunity to potentially invest a portion of the Coronavirus
Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act funds the City of Eagan received back into our community in the
form of marketing campaigns aimed at bolstering interest in initiatives such as Eagan’s Market Fest, July 4th
Funfest, Food Truck Festival, South of the River Home and Leisure Show and Art Festival.
While we already partner with the City on the aforementioned initiatives, we feel an additional investment by way
of the CARES Act funds would enable us to help the City generate even more awareness and interest in the
events resulting in greater attendance figures and an enhanced economic benefit for business owners, residents
and ultimately the City itself. Our request would be for a $50,000 allocation of CARES Act funds which would
exclusively be used for City of Eagan marketing campaigns.
As you all know, Eagan’s hospitality community has been hit particularly hard by lockdowns and business
restrictions aimed at curbing the spread of COVID-19. Unfortunately we’ve already witnessed the closure of a few
treasured Eagan restaurants while our retail community does everything possible to endure the wrath of the
pandemic. Our 18 Eagan hotels are also experiencing unprecedented lows in both occupancy and average daily
rates given the travel restrictions which have been imposed for the past seven months. Now more than ever, it’s
imperative that we boldly position our community as a top destination for special events, and with the additional
funds we’re requesting, we feel they will significantly enhance the campaigns we already have in the works while
driving additional and much needed business into our community.
On behalf of our Enjoy Eagan stakeholders along with the thousands of employees who proudly represent
Eagan’s hospitality community of hotels, restaurants and retailers each and every day, I’d like to thank you for
your careful consideration. As always, we value our partnership with the City of Eagan and look forward to
keeping the undying spirit of our incredible community alive and well through and certainly well beyond the
COVID-19 pandemic.
Warmest regards,
Brent Cory

Subtotal under consideration 775,700
Total $ 3,113,100
All of the items above are likely to qualify as eligible expenditures.
In addition, the grant guidance issued to date leaves much uncertainty as to the eligibility of Public
Safety staff time. Some interpret the guidance to say that all Public Safety staff time is considered an
eligible cost; others disagree, saying that only Public Safety staff time where the duties were
substantially altered qualifies (e.g., our Fire staff above who were not able to do inspections). We may
not get clarification from the State Office of Management and Budget and/or U.S. Treasury before the
spending deadline of November 15. If all Public Safety staff time is eligible, the City will easily reach the
$5,149,281 amount to spend under the grant.
