He explained that Scott County's Transportation Plan .recommends that Scott County evaluate additional accesses to I-35. .One proposal is to extend Scott County .Highway 21 from Prior .Lake to the interchange at I-35 via 185th Street in Lakeville. This alignment would have no significant impact within the City. Lakeville residents would benefit from .such a connection, as it would .ultimately provide another outlet into Scott County and access to the Bloomington ferry bridge. The second proposal in the Scott County Transportation Plan recommends a new roadway from Savage, utilizing Scott County Roads 27 and 74, to I-35 for a connection at the proposed County Road 46 interchange. Mr. Nelson explained that in 1981 the City established the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA}, and the area west of the future County Road 46 interchange was excluded from the MUSA because it is an environmentally sensitive area.
