Washington County officials are taking a leap into the digital world by launching an online engagement platform for a major roadway extension project, which aims to iron out a kink in the regional highway system. This digital initiative, which kicked off on May 28, invites community members to weigh in on the County Highway 15 (58th Street) Connection Project without leaving the comfort of their homes, as per Washington County Minnesota.
Concerned citizens and curious onlookers alike have been given the opportunity to thoroughly review the potential design alternatives for the project and grasp an understanding of the timeline and subsequent steps involved. According to Washington County's announcement, this can now be done by visiting the project's website. However, attendees should not expect to engage in any formal discussions or presentations during this online period, which runs through June 11.
The county emphasizes the virtual approach as a means to broaden participation, allowing residents from Stillwater, Stillwater Township, and Oak Park Heights—areas impacted by the project—to share their insights and concerns from anywhere with internet access. Stakeholders are urged to view the materials provided and offer feedback via the online engagement link, "There will be no formal presentation or discussion during the online engagement," as stated by Washington County Minnesota
