County Road E & Old Snelling Avenue Intersection

• Improve safety and operations.
• Reduce congestion and delay.
• Include accessible bike and pedestrian access.
• Improve intersection lighting.
• Replace old pavement.
• Repair and replace old or undersized utilities.
• Minimize impacts to properties and natural resources.

Community input and feedback is important to the project's success.

Past engagement

• Virtual open house - Wednesday, Feb. 2, 2022, at 7 p.m.
  • View recording
• Intersection design survey - Feb. 3-16, 2022

The open house and survey shared draft designs under consideration along with analysis and evaluation criteria. 

Common feedback themes

• Traffic analysis: Including the need for the project, cause of backups, future volumes and modal count data.
• Roundabouts: Positive and negative feedback about considering a roundabout design.
• Other designs: Feedback on other design alternatives, including how a traffic signal might perform at this location and what happens if we do nothing.
• Bike and pedestrian mobility: Questions regarding safety, function and education for all transportation types.
• Infrastructure: Opportunity to address aging pavement, utility issues and lighting improvements as part of the overall project.
