Dakota County officials this week will unveil the final design aimed at improving bicycling and pedestrian safety on Diffley Road in Eagan, where a 13-year-old boy was fatally hit by a car while riding his bike to school.
The county in concert with the city and the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District will spend $5.3 million to slim Diffley Road from four lanes to a single lane in each direction and add a median between Lexington Avenue and Braddock Trail.
