Discussion:

The Scott County adopted Transportation Capital Improvement Plan (TIP) and City adopted Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) programs the construction of a multi-use trail along County Highway (CH) 18 between Whispering Oaks Trail and an existing trail just south of the Prior Lake municipal boundary. The improvements are proposed to fill a gap in the existing trail network along the county road within Shakopee, improving multi-modal connecting for Shakopee residents. 

 

The Cooperative Agreement will establish the City and County's responsibilities and cost to complete and maintain the improvements.

Following completion of the improvements, the County will reimburse the City $42,894.80 for the project, including construction, engineering, administration and contingency costs.
