The Dakota County Transportation Plan is a part of the Dakota County Comprehensive Plan. It is used as a guide to maintain and improve the transportation system in line with land use goals and objectives and transportation policies. The County is required to update the Comprehensive Plan at least once every ten years. However, a strategy of the Transportation Plan is to review and update the Transportation Plan every five years.
The County is currently updating the Transportation Plan so current conditions and funding needs can be identified and funding strategies can be developed to address these needs. The update allows the County to properly analyze impacts on transportation system performance, to re-examine the County’s overall transportation needs, and to reevaluate strategies, policies, and measures. The Transportation Plan is anticipated to be fully updated by the end of 2010. Please check this site for further updates and information.
