2040 Comprehensive Plan: Envision Shakopee

The Vierling Drive Corridor The Vierling Drive corridor provides an east-west link from Canterbury Park/Eagle Creek Boulevard to Old Brickyard Road/Highway 69. The corridor is primarily lined with residential development - both single-family neighborhoods and townhouse developments, and providing access to Old Shakopee and newer neighborhoods developed after construction of U.S. Highway 169. Vierling Drive provides a neighborhood connection to the nearby interchange-oriented commercial centers, as well as the City of Shakopee Community Center via Fuller Street, and two major community parks, Tahpah Park and Lions Park via Marystown Road/Adams Street.

RECOMMENDATIONS » » Prepare for long-term infill development on large parking lots near the Marschall Road/U.S. Highway 169 interchange as transportation patterns and parking needs change over time » » Create design standards for new development to have an improved physical appearance and pedestrian connections to Marschall Road and Vierling Drive » » Support a mixture of housing types and higher densities of housing at the west end of the Vierling Corridor in the vicinity of the Highway 69 and U.S. Highway 169 interchange and Town Square Mall site
