Updated Safety Message - September 2021
Parents, staff and student drivers can help improve traffic safety at Dakota Hills Middle School and Eagan High School. Dakota County, the City of Eagan and District 196 have worked to reconstruct and improve access to our campus.
- Pedestrians and bicyclists should cross Diffley Road on the west side of the Braddock Trail and Diffley Road roundabout, or on the west side of the Daniel Drive and Diffley Road roundabout. Crossing guards are present there during the elementary, middle school and high school arrival and dismissal times.
- The intersections and crosswalks on Braddock Train and Ventnor Ave as well as Pennsylvania Ave. have pedestrian activated lights for use 24/7.
- Eagan Police are actively enforcing the traffic rules for safety.
- Drivers MUST stop for pedestrians .
- There are pedestrian crossing signs that are activated by the person waiting to cross and flashing for safety. These are also available in non-school hours.
- District 196 will continue to bus students from the south side of Diffley Road into the schools.
- Parent drop off and pick up for students is either in the South entry or the East entry. Please drop students of at a sidewalk, not in the parking lot.
- When students are departing from a vehicle it should always be onto the sidewalk – not across a lane of traffic.
- Bike racks at the high school are located at the East Entry. Do not attach bikes to trees- use the bike racks.
You can help improve safety along Diffley Road and in the area around our schools:
- Slow down. If the pedestrian crossing lights are flashing it demands that you stop.
- Pedestrians – please use caution before entering a crosswalk.
- Drivers - don’t use your cellphone while driving- avoid distractions while driving.
- The new access road from the Daniel Drive roundabout down the hill into the South lot is for vehicles ONLY – not for bike riders or pedestrians.
- Use the new pedestrian paved pathway from Diffley Road near Braddock Trail.
- At the intersection of Ventnor and Braddock Trail as well as the intersection of Pennsylvania and Braddock Trail there are pedestrian activated lights at the crosswalks. Please stop when those lights are flashing.
- Please do your part to help keep everyone safe.
