County project sparks concerns over resident access changes
During a recent government meeting, officials discussed access issues affecting several neighborhoods in Shakopee due to a planned county project. The project impacts around 75 residents across three neighborhoods, which are currently landlocked with limited access routes.

One area of concern is Norton Drive. Residents coming from the north face a significant detour of 0.7 miles to reach their homes. They must travel south on County Highway 14 and make a U-turn at a roundabout to return north. This detour complicates daily travel for those living in the area.

Another neighborhood mentioned is Eagle Wood Lane. Residents wanting to head north must also take a longer route, traveling half a mile south to the County Highway 82 intersection before they can turn back north on County Highway 17.

Officials acknowledged that many residents are not yet aware of these access changes. A public open house is scheduled for January to inform residents and gather feedback. This meeting aims to prepare city council members for questions from residents who may be affected by the project.

The discussions highlighted the need for better communication with residents about upcoming changes that could impact their daily lives.
