On September 9, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution R-24-227, which enabled the vacation of the County Road 27 right-of-way north of 130th Street.

In 1971, the City purchased the right-of-way with the intent of extending Dakota Avenue (CR 27) to Highway 13 and possibly across the Minnesota River into Bloomington. Over the decades, construction of the anticipated roadway became challenging due to the Savage Fen and the development of private property impacting the anticipated connection.

The land is currently identified as right-of-way on the zoning map and the 2040 comprehensive plan land use map. The City proposes to zone and guide the land consistent with the surrounding properties to the east and west.
