A traffic, land use and engineering analysis, along with community input will help <br />identify the long-range vision for the corridor that will be used to define future improvements and guide a <br />potential jurisdictional transfer of the roadway from MnDOT to Washington County. <br />Maddie Dahlheimer <br />Washington County Senior Planner <br />651-430-4338 |madeline.dahlheimer@co.washington.mn.us <br />STUDY GOALS <br />• Define a corridor vision that supports economic growth, community investment and long-term transportation <br />goals while increasing safety for all users. <br />• Evaluate access and intersection locations onto Hwy 61 and recommend future improvements at key locations. <br />• Determine right-of-way needs for the corridor based on the needs of each travel mode (e.g., cars, trucks, transit, <br />pedestrians, bicyclists). <br />• Identify pedestrian and bicycle safety and connectivity improvements <br />throughout the corridor. <br />• Determine a financial plan and timeline for the Hwy 61 jurisdictional transfer <br />through Hugo and Forest Lake. <br />SCHEDULE <br />Explore <br />Winter/ <br />Spring 2023 <br />Evaluate <br />Summer <br />2023 <br />Define <br />Fall/Winter <br />2023 <br />Collect data and assess existing/forecasted conditions. <br />Consider future development in Hugo and Forest Lake. <br />Explore corridor issues and opportunities. <br />Develop and evaluate corridor improvement <br />alternatives with consideration to community priorities <br />and traffic engineering solutions. <br />Define a preferred corridor vision. <br />Compile study report summarizing process and <br />outcomes. <br />Outline jurisdictional transfer plan including <br />implementation, financial and timeline considerations. <br />Rachel Juba <br />Hugo Community Development Director <br />651-762-6304 |rjuba@ci.hugo.mn.us <br />WANT MORE INFO? <br />Visit the project webpage for more information, study updates and to sign up for email notifications! <br />STUDY AREA <br />www.co.washington.mn.us/Highway61 <br />8
