The Minnesota Department of Transportation and McLeod County are conducting a safety study of State Highway 7 from just east of Hutchinson to County Road 9 in Lester Prairie, and residents are encouraged to participate in a virtual open house.
The goals of the study are to evaluate the existing conditions along Highway 7 and to work with local partners, stakeholders and the community to create a common vision for managing the corridor now and in the future.
The study will provide recommendations to improve safety and develop a plan that outlines appropriate access along Highway 7. The final plan will also identify potential funding for safety projects.
The Highway 7 virtual open house includes information on the safety study and the opportunity to ask questions and leave comments. Area residents are encouraged to attend as it is convenient for them.
