2040 Comprehensive Plan: Envision Shakopee

11 SUPPORT REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION Most Shakopee residents work elsewhere in the region, while most employees in the city commute into Shakopee. Highway congestion has become a daily frustration, affecting residents’ quality of life, and affecting the city’s desirability as an employment location. Shakopee should advocate for the extension of Bus Rapid Transit into the city, support regional highway improvements and encourage transit- oriented development.

12 CELEBRATE BIG FUN!

Shakopee is home to phenomenal entertainment assets that draw millions of visitors to the city on an annual basis. The city should continue to leverage these assets for continued investment and economic development by supporting programming partnerships and physical connections between public and private recreation and entertainment venues - enhancing Shakopee’s cachet as the place to visit in the Land of Big Fun.
