Washington County, along with the City of Forest Lake, is turning its focus to the intersection of County Road 50 (202nd Street) and Trunk Highway 61, proposing an improvement project aimed at addressing what's becoming a notable concern for regular commuters and residents.
The county has launched an online platform for public engagement where folks can view the proposed project alternatives, toss in their own two cents, and get a bead on the anticipated project schedule, the online exposure is set from September 17 through October 1 with no formal yackety-yak; there won't be any guided conversations or presentations to sit through, just the raw details waiting for anyone with an internet connection to pick through.
Missed out on the in-person gab-a-thon? No sweat - the county's got you covered with a virtual mirror of the open house material, all stashed behind a handy button for your late-night browsing pleasure.
Sure, face-to-face is nice, but given the choice between that and pajama-surfing the data dump at midnight, the allure of the latter might just tip the scales, just remember, tapping into the engagement site is a now-or-never deal - it's lights out on October 1 when the county packs up the digital soapbox and moves along to the bureaucratic waltz of analysing feedback and pushing papers towards the next phase of roadway rehab.
