Study information
The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) is studying safety improvements for people walking along and across Highway 59 in the City of Mahnomen. This study aims to look at the safety and ease of movement for people walking and biking along and across Highway 59. The study area starts at the southern edge of the City of Mahnomen and goes to its northern limits on Highway 59. The study goal is to identify safety improvements we can make in the short, medium, and long term along and across the Highway 59 corridor. A preferred option for safety improvement will be chosen and a plan completed for implementation and funding.
Study Review Committee (SRC)
MnDOT partnered with the City of Mahnomen, Mahnomen County, and the White Earth Nation to review past studies and develop an actionable plan for short, medium, and long term safety improvements that can be implemented and funded in Mahnomen. The committee will also ensure that community values are reflected in project decisions and foster local conversations.
Partnership
MnDOT and its partners are committed to working with the Mahnomen community to ensure that local concerns and priorities shape the alternatives developed in the Mahnomen Pedestrian Study. Updates on how community input influences recommendations and decisions will be provided. The final preferred option will be based on feedback from Mahnomen residents and the availability of future funding from the State of Minnesota, Mahnomen County, and the White Earth Nation.
