County adopts 1‑ and 6‑year road plan, prioritizes M Avenue completion and safety fixes

The Dakota County Board held a hearing on its 1‑ and 6‑year road plan and voted to adopt the plan after a presentation by the highway superintendent. The superintendent listed priorities for the coming year, including finalizing M Avenue (work complete pending final payments), building up H Avenue, adding a short 400‑foot/200‑foot Luxus project (pending contracts), extending the South Southwest Culver near Baker's, and reworking the South Bluff and 200 intersection into a T to reduce confusion and near-miss accidents.

The superintendent also described plans to open bids for North Bluff panel repair and noted L Avenue work from Jackson toward the river may be budgeted across years (he mentioned an allowance of about $290,000 and the possibility of phasing work across two budget years). After taking no substantive oral comments the board moved and voted to approve the 1‑ and 6‑year road plan.
