El Condado de Scott y el Departamento de Transporte de Minnesota (MnDOT), en cooperación con la ciudad de Jordan, proponen mejoras en la intersección de Trunk Highway (TH) 169, TH 282 y County Highway (CH 9) en la ciudad de Jordan. El proyecto convertirá la intersección señalizada existente en TH 169/TH 282/CH 9 en un intercambio separado por niveles. Se construirá una rotonda en el lado oeste del nuevo paso elevado y se construirá una intersección señalizada en el lado este. Se construirá una rampa de entrada a la TH 169 en dirección sur y una rampa de salida a la TH 169 en dirección norte. Se construirá una salida de gancho de medio botón para TH 169 en dirección sur y se proporcionará acceso a TH 169 en dirección norte a través de Creek Ln. El proyecto también rehabilitará y ampliará el puente TH 169 sobre Sand Creek (Puente 6802) y rehabilitará el puente Syndicate St sobre Sand Creek (Br. 70509). Se construirá un nuevo puente en CH 9 sobre Union Pacific Railroad. Se agregará un nuevo paso subterráneo para peatones junto a Sand Creek para proporcionar un cruce de segundo grado separado de TH 169 para personas que caminan y andan en bicicleta. Se proporcionarán aceras nuevas y/o reconstruidas en toda el área del proyecto. Se construirá una nueva laguna de aguas pluviales y se reemplazarán o mejorarán varias alcantarillas.
De acuerdo con 23 CFR 774.5, MnDOT y el condado de Scott solicitan comentarios sobre los efectos que este proyecto tendría en Riesgraf Lions Park. Se construirá un nuevo sendero a través de Riesgraf Lions Park para conectar el nuevo paso subterráneo para peatones con Creek Ln. Aproximadamente 0.55 acres del parque se verán afectados durante la construcción. MnDOT está buscando una servidumbre temporal para esta área para construir el sendero. La ciudad de Jordan seguirá siendo propietaria y mantendrá el parque después de la construcción.
La Administración Federal de Carreteras (FHWA) ha hecho una determinación preliminar de que la acción propuesta en Riesgraf Lions Park es una acción de minimis de la Sección 4(f) de acuerdo con 23 CFR 774.5, condicionada a la revisión y comentarios del público. Se puede hacer una determinación de minimis cuando los usos de la tierra de la Sección 4(f) no tendrán un efecto adverso sobre los recursos protegidos.

US 169 / TH 282 / CSAH 9 Interchange in Jordan Receives Final Funding from MN Bonding Bill

May 22, 2023, Jordan, MN – The City of Jordan’s and Scott County’s request for $9.1M was fulfilled by the State Legislature this week.  Once signed into law, the bill will bring the final piece of funding necessary to build the new interchange at US 169 / TH 282 / CR 9 in Jordan, eliminating the last traffic signal remaining along US 169 between St Peter and Champlin.

“This project will significantly prevent predictable and preventable injuries and fatalities, improve connectivity for tens of thousands of motorists daily between Southern Minnesota and the Twin Cities, reduce travel delay and congestion to reduce emissions, as well as provide safe multimodal travel across US 169 for users of all ages and abilities,” said Jordan Mayor Mike Franklin

The project further improves the efficiency of commodity shipments significantly. 50% of Minnesota corn, soybean, and ethanol shipments currently travel on US Highway 169, including grain trucking from Southwest Minnesota to the nearby Ports of Savage.

“Of critical importance to the City of Jordan, effectively all of our criteria for the project have been met or exceeded, including protecting our existing businesses from unnecessary takings, ensuring the most efficient movement of commuter traffic to and from Jordan residents, and maximizing the opportunity for our community to grow along the new interchange” continued Franklin.

The success of this funding is due to the work of many over the past two decades. The City of Jordan sincerely thanks State Representative Ben Bakeberg and State Senator Eric Pratt, and former State Representative Tony Albright for their work ushering this priority through the MN Legislature, a process that took several years to complete. The project has also received past bipartisan support from US Representative Angie Craig, and US Senators Amy Klobuchar, and Tina Smith. The City also wishes to thank current and past City Council members for their vision and dedication to the project, as well as the Scott County Board and Staff for their commitment to solving these transportation problems.

The City of Jordan is grateful for these partnerships and looks forward to the bill being signed into law. The interchange project can now be constructed as planned in 2025 and 2026.

Environmental review of Beaumont Bluffs in the City of Jordan is available for public comment. Please access the Supplemental EAW document at the following link:  2023-05-18 Beaumont Bluffs EAW Supplement Final (1)

Comments will be accepted May 30, 2023, through June 29, 2023.

The City of Jordan invites the public to review and comment on the Supplemental Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) regarding the Beaumont Bluffs development project. The project is proposed on 232.3 acres on the southwest side of the City of Jordan and consists of a mix of twin homes, villas, single-family residences, and open space. About 123.6 acres will remain undeveloped, including approximately 80 acres owned by the city.  On January 18, 2022, the City Council voted to approve the declaration that no Environmental Impact Study (EIS) was needed for the Beaumont Bluffs preliminary plat application.  However, Dba JMH Beaumont Bluffs LLC is requesting to amend the Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) to allow for the removal and export of 100,000-125,000 cubic yards of soil, described as medium-to-fine-grained sand, for foundation and roadway construction projects. The proposal to remove soil off-site was not included in the original EAW and therefore a Supplemental EAW is needed for additional environmental review.

Copies of the Supplemental EAW, which document the purpose and need for the project, along with the anticipated social, economic, and environmental impacts, are available for public comment beginning May 30 and can be accessed at the city’s website: jordanmn.gov.

Written comments will be accepted through June 29, 2023. Comments should be submitted in writing to the planning department or mailed to 210 East 1^st St., Jordan, MN 55352. For more information, please call the city at 952-492-7929.2023-05-18 Beaumont Bluffs EAW Supplement Final (1)

2023 City-Wide Garage Sales

Press Release:

After some significant deliberations, the Jordan City Council voted unanimously on Monday, May 8, 2023, to discontinue offering State of Minnesota Deputy Registrar services at City Hall, with an anticipated effective date of July 1, 2023.  These services, including license tab renewal, license plate renewals, title transfers, titling services, limited DL licensing changes, and DNR registration services, have been offered as a courtesy to Jordan residents for many years, even though they pertain to the State of Minnesota and not to City Government.  It was nonetheless a very difficult decision to end these conveniences, but the City Council determined that the City taxpayers can no longer sustain the continued financial losses associated with providing these nonessential services.  A conservative estimate is that Jordan taxpayers have subsidized over $580,000 in the past five years in order to provide services that the State of Minnesota would otherwise have to offer.  This calculation is the difference between the cost of offering Deputy Registrar services and the amount reimbursed to the City by the State.  The last date the City will provide these services is June 30, 2023.  We have notified the State that the City will no longer offer Deputy Registrar services after June 30, 2023.  We will be reorganizing our staff positions to retain as many employees as possible in other positions to deliver City services.

The Water Department flushes the water mains every Spring to help maintain water quality and prevent sediment buildup in the pipes. Crews also get an opportunity to operate and inspect the fire hydrants. Few things to remember if you notice your water is cloudy:

• This means there is some air in your water lines
• Open up a cold tap closest to your water meter (typically in a mechanical room/basement), and run water for 5-15 minutes.
• Cloudy/Discolored water is OK to drink
• Don’t do laundry until the cloudiness is gone
