City Council Report 2025-043
To: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
Mike Mornson, City Manager
From: Eric Klingbeil, City Engineer
Date: March 18, 2025
Subject: Temporary Permit to Construct for Governmental Entities - MnDOT
_____________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDED ACTION
MOTION TO Authorize Mayor and City Manager to approve Temporary Permit to
Construct for Governmental Entities.
OVERVIEW
During the 2019 Street and Utility Reconstruction project, in response to significant
neighborhood request, the feasibility of adding a connection between Cambridge Street
(near Van Buren Avenue) and the Cedar Lake Trail was investigated. A design was
completed, but budgetary restrictions did not allow for the inclusion of the improvements
as part of the project.
Recently, staff has coordinated with MnDOT to include these improvements with other
MnDOT work in the area. Design is progressing, with construction anticipated to occur in
2025.
While the majority of the project is being constructed within MnDOT right-of-way along
TH7, portions of trail, including the ADA accessible route, will need to be constructed in
a parcel owned by the City of Hopkins. To allow for this construction, MnDOT utilizes a
Temporary Permit to Construct for Governmental Entities.
All construction costs are being funded by MnDOT.
