Mr. Mielke recommended the City Council establish a School Road Safety Task Force focused
on vehicle and pedestrian safety near schools. He explained that the proposed task force
would consider and provide recommendations on identified road and pedestrian projects
based upon determined needs. The recommendations shall be divided into road projects and
pedestrian /bicycle projects, due to the nature of funding sources. The task force will also
review existing City, County and School information on identified issues, processes and
enforcement impacting student safety.
Based on prior discussions by the City Council, it is recommended that the task force consist
of nine members selected by invitation, representing ISD 192, ISD 194 (two members), ISD
196, City of Lakeville (2 members), Dakota County and two citizens appointed by Mayor
Little. In addition to the task force members, it is anticipated that staff resources from the
City, County and ISD 194 would attend meetings as needed to provide assistance and input.

will be guided by the task force. Ideally, the information provided on projects can be
delivered for inclusion in the coming City and County Capital Improvement Plans.
Council Member Anderson stressed the importance of working collaboratively with the
school districts to improve safety. He also stated he feels it is important for the task force to
provide input within 90 days so that it can be incorporated in this year's capital improvement
process.

thoroughly study and identify road and pedestrian safety issues for each school.

safety issues occur and collaboratively look for solutions over time.
