The project included reconstruction of 210th Street in the City of Lakeville from Kensington Boulevard to Holyoke Avenue, and the rehabilitation of 210th Street/Lakeville Boulevard from Holyoke Avenue to Cedar Avenue. This critical community connector was a narrow two lane rural roadway that was updated with an urban section, center left turn lane, off-street shared use paths, pedestrian safety improvements, and a roundabout at the 210th Street and Dodd Boulevard intersection.

Stonebrooke was selected by the City of Lakeville to provide a full range of engineering services for the project, including a feasibility study, traffic study, public engagement, preliminary design and final design. 210th Street was a narrow rural section with steep slopes on each side of the road and dozens of residential properties either backing up to the road, or with frontage directly accessing it. Stonebrooke worked closely with the City of Lakeville to optimize a typical section that increased safety by introducing a center left turn lane and off-street shared use paths on both sides of the road. These multi-modal connections provide access to downtown Lakeville destinations and several schools in the area. The roadway alignment was shifted at various points along the project to maximize existing right of way use and avoid additional property impacts. Within the roadway rehabilitation areas, Stonebrooke improved the existing shared use paths, as well as the existing road surface and drainage facilities to meet the City’s maintenance needs for the corridor.

In getting the opportunity to engage with the public throughout the project development, we were able to get the full picture on what is important to the community and reflect that in our design. Through the outreach process we learned that this corridor truly connects the community of Lakeville by bringing together schools, neighborhoods, and businesses. We worked with the City of Lakeville to deliver a corridor design that meets the needs of users and will provide an important community connection for years to come.
