2027 Street Pavement Rejuvenation Projects
The council green-lit plans and specs for two 2027 pavement rejuvenator projects covering parts of the city's street network.
Pilot Knob/Cliff Road intersection improvements (Project 1273)

Highway 3 corridor improvements
A $55-60 million plan (in today's dollars) for the Eagan stretch of Highway 3: roundabouts at Diffley and Cliff Roads, a four-lane section where traffic demand justifies it, and safety fixes — with heavy federal or state funding needed before the 2033 pavement project.
