Join the city of Grand Marais on Oct. 28 for an open house and presentation of concept designs for Highway 61 through Grand Marais. Your feedback and input is needed!
In May of this year, 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.
Public meetings were held at a variety of locations to talk about the Highway 61 corridor, asking the following questions:
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?
Come learn what’s been discussed and offer your input. The program will run from 6 to 8 p.m. Oct. 28 at Bethlehem Lutheran Church. A light meal will be provided and free childcare will be available at the Cook County Community YMCA.
