The adopted 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and draft 2024-2028 CIP programs improvements to Marystown Road between 17th Avenue and 12th Avenue, including modifications to the US169 interchange ramps. The City completed a corridor study in 2020 that established the framework for the improvements, which include implementing the following priorities:

• Improving traffic safety and operations with roundabout improvements at the US169 ramps and Vierling Drive intersection
• Providing pedestrian and bicycle connectivity and safety improvements
• Modifying the overpass bridge to accommodate the pedestrian improvements and revised roadway design

The City was successful in receiving $3,723,172 in grant funds as part of the 2022 Metropolitan Council Regional Grant Solicitation, programmed for 2025. The grant requires the project to be approved and ready for construction by June 1, 2025. Construction could then proceed in 2025 and would be expected to be completed in 2026.
