Site work, paving and outdoor lighting for a civil project in Rockford, Minnesota. Conceptual plans call for site work for a road / highway; for paving for a road / highway; and for outdoor lighting for a road / highway.

Safety improvements along Rebecca Park Trail (CSAH 50) from 700' West of Koala Street to 600' East of Dogwood Street (CSAH 92) in the Cities of Rockford and Greenfield. The existing corridor along Rebecca Park Trail (CSAH 50) between Koala Street and Dogwood Street (CSAH 92) experiences a relatively high number of injury related crashes compared to similar corridors throughout the county. These crashes are primarily due to the presence of bypass lanes that offer limited benefits to turning vehicles. Additionally, Rockford Elementary Arts Magnet School and Rockford High School are located along the project corridor, generating high user activity during school arrival and dismissal operations. The proposed project will improve safety and traffic operations by implementing three main project objectives, which include: Conversion of the existing bypass lanes to dedicated turn lanes to better define vehicle lanes and promote user predictability Construction of a raised concrete median to better facilitate pedestrian crossings to/from Rockford High School Installation of intersection lighting to improve user visibility and comfort Staff recommended the project for the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) given the high number of crashes that resulted in injuries. This data driven approach is based on the county's crash system that assigns a dollar value to each of the crashes experienced in recent history. As of February 15, 2022, this project is currently in the FY 2022-2026 CIP . Funding for this project is allotted in the city's capital improvement plan for construction Fy 2023. A firm timeline has not been established; however, construction is scheduled for Fiscal Year 2023. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
