Hennepin County and the City of Champlin are working to improve safety along County Road 121, locally known as West Hayden Lake Road/Elm Creek Crossing/French Lake Road.
In May, we installed pilot all-way stops and turn modifications at two intersections—South Creek Circle and Brookside Trail—and invited public comments. We've reviewed the feedback, along with traffic safety data, and want to give the Champlin community an update on what's ahead.
The county is working collaboratively with the city on implementing intersection improvements at Brookside Trail. Future curb bump-outs are also being considered at South Creek Circle in coordination with an upcoming pavement preservation project.
Both intersections will remain as all-way stops until the additional safety enhancements are installed.
We will continue to monitor and evaluate the intersections to determine the effectiveness of the enhancements and the appropriate intersection control.
We'll share more details about timelines and next steps when information is available.
Thank you to everyone who shared their insight. We appreciate the community's support and look forward to improving this important road.
