Background:
Roadway jurisdictional transfers are sometimes needed to optimize system connectivity, eliminate redundancy, and promote design consistency. These transfers are governed by Minnesota state statutes and require an agreement between the parties. To ensure a consistent approach for such transfers, the county board adopted the Hennepin County Jurisdictional Transfer Policy in 2018 (Resolution 18-0259).
County and city staff have collaborated on the requested jurisdictional transfers for sections of Fernbrook Lane and Maple Grove Parkway. These roadways meet the criteria outlined in the county’s Jurisdictional Transfer Policy.
Upon execution of PW 46-34-25, the city will assume jurisdiction of the remnant portion of Fernbrook Lane, while the county will assume jurisdiction of the Maple Grove Parkway extension.
Current Request: This request seeks authorization to:
• Negotiate Agreement PW 46-34-25 with the City of Maple Grove to facilitate jurisdictional transfers of two roadway segments
• Revoke the remnant portion of Fernbrook Lane (currently CSAH 121) as a County State Aid Highway
• Designate the extension of Maple Grove Parkway as County State Aid Highway 121 under Hennepin County jurisdiction
Impacts/Outcomes:
Approval of this request will enable the jurisdictional transfers between Hennepin County and the City of Maple Grove to move forward. These transfers will allow the city and county to pursue their long-term vision for the corridors.
