Community members in Washington County have an opportunity to chime in on the planned improvements for a local traffic trouble spot. In an endeavor to enhance safety and flow, the intersection of County Highway 18 (Bailey Road) and Settlers Ridge Parkway/Cottage Grove Drive is getting a makeover, courtesy of a partnership between Washington County and the City of Woodbury.
Officials are inviting residents for a face-to-face meet-up on September 24, where project details will be unpacked and public feedback sought. According to Washington County Minnesota, this event is scheduled from 4:30 - 6:30 p.m. at Lake Middle School located at 3133 Pioneer Drive, Woodbury, MN. Unlike the typical protocol for such gatherings, there won't be a formal presentation, which allows for an organic interaction between the project team and those living amidst its impact.
However, if the in-person attendance proves tricky, worry not. The county has organized an alternative digital pathway from September 24 until October 8, where the same materials presented during the open house will be available for review. This can be found on the official project website, which will provide a means for those afar to stay engaged and informed.
An announcement by Washington County clarifies that the website will not support a formal discussion or presentation, ensuring the focus remains on the provision of information and reception of community sentiment.
