MnDOT to host May 28 open house for Highway 34 Park Rapids Corridor Study
Bemidji, Minn. – The Minnesota Department of Transportation will host an open house for the Highway 34 corridor study on Thursday, May 28, from 4 to 6 p.m. at Park Rapids City Hall, 212 Second St. W.
The study focuses on Highway 34 between Western Ave. S. and east of Hubbard County Road 4. Separate from the Highway 71 corridor study, this visioning effort will identify longer-term goals and other potential improvements like pedestrian crossing needs. A resurfacing project on Highway 34 is anticipated in the next seven to 10 years.
“We are conducting two separate studies,” said Stephen Frisco, project manager. “The Highway 34 and 71 corridors are vital to the community and they each have very different needs. By having two separate studies it allows us to focus the right attention on each.”
Project staff will be available to share study information, answer questions and gather public input. There is no formal presentation; attendees may arrive anytime. Get involved, learn more and share feedback at the project website: talk.dot.state.mn.us/hwy-34-corridor-study-in-park-rapids.
MnDOT invites and encourages participation by all. If you need an ASL or a foreign language interpreter, another reasonable accommodation, or documents in an alternative format (such as Braille or large print) for this event or related materials, email Janet Miller at ADArequest.dot@state.mn.us or call 651-366-4720.
