Site work and paving for a road / highway in Maple Grove, Minnesota. Design plans call for site work for a road / highway; and for paving for a road / highway.

UPDATE : Multimodal safety improvements at Hemlock Lane (CSAH 61) and Elm Creek Boulevard (CSAH 130) in the City of Maple Grove. Purpose & Description: The existing intersection of Hemlock Lane (CSAH 61) and Elm Creek Boulevard (CSAH 130) experiences a relatively high frequency of crashes when compared to similar intersections throughout the county. The predominant crash type at this intersection is rear-end related. Both roadways include four-lane divided configurations with channelized right-turn islands and dual left turn lanes at the intersection. The existing intersection design is relatively wide and presents an uncomfortable experience for all modes. People driving can complete right turns at higher speeds due to the presence of the channelized right-turn islands. Sidewalks and trails exist for nonmotorized users on all four quadrants; however, relatively long crossing distances are required for people walking, rolling, and biking through the intersection. The proposed project will improve accessibility, mobility and safety by implementing the following project elements that aim to address crash themes: ? Elimination of two channelized right-turn islands and the introduction of smart channel design to slow turning drivers (as feasible) ? Remove unnecessary buffer space surrounding right-turn islands ? Replacement and upgrade of the existing traffic signal system ? Upgrade of ADA accommodations to current design standards and installation of Accessible Pedestrian Signals ? Modification of trail and sidewalk alignments on approaches as necessary Staff recommended this project for the Regional Solicitation Spot Mobility & Safety category given the high number of rear-end crashes that have occurred at this intersection. In addition, this intersection is identified as a priority location in the Hennepin County Road Safety Plan. This project was awarded federal formula funding through the Metropolitan Council's 2022 Regional Solicitation Project is in Hennepin County - Purchasing and Contract Services capital budget fy 2025-2029 CIP __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ CSAH 61 - Hemlock Lane Improvement Safety at Elm Creek Boulevard - 2220500 Multimodal safety improvements at Hemlock Lane (CSAH 61) and Elm Creek Boulevard (CSAH 130) in the City of Maple Grove. The existing intersection of Hemlock Lane (CSAH 61) and Elm Creek Boulevard (CSAH 130) experiences a relatively high number of crashes when compared to similar intersections throughout the county. The predominant crash type at this intersection is rear-end related. Both roadways are four-lane divided roadways with free-right turns and double left turn lanes at this intersection. The existing intersection design is relatively wide and presents an uncomfortable experience for all modes. People driving can complete right turns at higher speeds due to the presence of the right turn islands. Sidewalks and trails exist for nonmotorized users on all four quadrants; however, relatively long crossing distances are required for people walking, rolling, and biking through the intersection. As of April 16, 2024, this project is included in the city’s 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Per owner, project is in design. Project funded for construction in FY2026. *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.
