The City of Grand Marais has been working with the community on a potential redesign of the Highway 61 corridor through Grand Marais. Your feedback is needed and to receive a broad base of input, the deadline for comments has been extended to Wednesday, November 26.
In May 2014, engineers and planners from the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) held a “complete streets” workshop in Grand Marais to educate city, county, business and citizens on MnDOT’s policy supporting streets that are safe for bikes, pedestrians and automobiles as well as their interest and role in the Grand Marais Highway 61 redesign process. There have been several other public meetings that asked:
1) How do you use the corridor project area? How often? By what means of transportation?
2) Have you walked of biked along this corridor? Why?
3) How does the corridor change with the seasons?
4) What do you believe are the greatest health concerns in our community?
View the concept designs and provide feedback at www.becausemovingmatters.org/highway61 or stop by Grand Marais City Hall (Monday –Friday, 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.).
