Washington County, aligning forces with the City of Stillwater and Stillwater Township, has set its sights on upgrading the convergence of County Highway 5, Road 55, and Highway 96. An open house is slated to throw open the doors for public input on this notable intersection improvement project on April 30, sources said Wednesday.
Residents and all interested parties are invited to gather insights and bring forth their perspectives from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Crosswinds Community Church located at 9125 Newgate Ave N, Stillwater, MN, the county's announcement confirmed. Lacking a structured presentation, the session offers a window to interact directly with the project team and glean what's on deck in the project schedule.
For those who can't attend in person, there's a digital door left ajar. An online platform will host the material from April 30 through a tentative window stretching from January 8 until January 22, as per the project's website. However, the digital interaction will be a silent one, emphasized the county, with no real-time discussion or presentation.
The slated crossroads renovation promises to be more than a mere tweaking of asphalt and signage; it's a move aimed at smoothing the transportation experience for countless commuters. Participants in the open house, grappling with the current road conditions, might just find the platform to help shape the junction's destiny, a prospect the Washington County's announcement tantalizingly laid out. Stay tuned for the project's next chapters as they unfold through the collective community wisdom voiced at the open house and online.
