Residents of Washington County have an opportunity to weigh in on an upcoming infrastructure project aimed at improving traffic flow and safety. Washington County officials, in collaboration with the City of Stillwater and Stillwater Township, are holding an open house to discuss the intersection improvement project at County Highway 5, County Road 55, and County Highway 96. The event is slated for Tuesday, July 29, from 4 to 6 p.m., with no formal presentation planned.
Those interested can attend in person at Crosswinds Community Church, located at 9125 Newgate Ave N in Stillwater, MN, or they can access information online if they're unable to be present. According to Washington County's announcement, the material displayed at the open house will be available on the county website from July 29 through August 24, offering an extended period for public review and feedback.
The intersection in question has been the subject of discussions around traffic improvements for some time. The project aims to address concerns around traffic congestion and safety issues that are often raised by locals. The upcoming open house is a chance for the community to examine proposed designs and alternatives, and government representatives will be on hand to gather public input and explain the project's scope and timelines.
Community engagement is seen as a crucial element in shaping public infrastructure projects, and the open house serves as a direct channel for that engagement. The open house is open to all, and the county stresses the importance of community feedback in the planning stages. Feedback collected during this period will influence the final design and implementation plans for the intersection's development.
