Multimodal safety improvements at the intersection of CSAH 19 and 109th Avenue (County Road 117) in the Cities of Corcoran and Hanover. Purpose & Description: The existing intersection of CSAH 19 at 109th Avenue (County Road 117) experiences significantly imbalanced traffic flows. During the morning peak period, a high percentage of eastbound vehicles turn right to continue southbound along CSAH 19. Conversely, in the afternoon peak period, a high percentage of northbound vehicles turn left to travel westbound in order to cross the Crow River. In an effort to manage mobility and safety through the intersection, a three-way stop was originally implemented. In this condition, northbound vehicles are not required to stop. Also, a channelized right-turn island is provided in the southwest quadrant that permits eastbound right-turning vehicles to merge onto CSAH 19 at a relatively high speed. These conditions are relatively uncommon along the county's transportation system, therefore, instances of driver confusion and discomfort are often observed. Additionally, there are existing crossings for the Lake Independence Regional Trail on both the north and east intersection approaches that further complicates the intersection. This segment of CSAH 19 was last reconstructed in the mid-2000s, however, this intersection was mainly left unchanged due to a lack of available right of way needed to realign CSAH 19 that better accommodates the predominant movements by people driving. The proposed project is anticipated to modify the existing intersection to better accommodate user activity in terms of mobility and safety. Further evaluation is needed to determine the preferred intersection control device, and if any realignments are justified. This project will proactively make improvements at an intersection where there is a relatively high potential for fatal and severe crashes due to the existing conditions. It is anticipated that fairly significant improvements are necessary to accommodate the traffic flows, while still providing a safe and comfortable crossings for the Lake Independence Regional Trail. The specific design for the intersection will be based on data analysis, stakeholder engagement, and an environmental review. This project received federal funding through the City of Hanover's Congressional Directed Spending (CDS) request. Hennepin County will be sponsoring the City of Hanover in recognition of the city not currently being eligible for State Aid funding given their population is less than 5,000. As of March 27, 2025 ,This project is included in the County's 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) *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.
