A Twin Cities area county is inviting its residents to participate in a study on one of its major highways.
Washington County launched the Highway 36 Transit Feasibility Study earlier this month with its public works department overseeing the effort.
The county said on its website that the study will recognize transit service needs and recommendations that highlight he Highway 36 corridor’s existing and anticipated future travel demands and patterns.
The study will also consider transit and complementary facilities to improve travel options and avert highway congestion for Washington, Ramsey, and Hennepin County residents, businesses and visitors.
“This is a high-level planning study led by Washington County in collaboration with partners at Ramsey County, Hennepin County, Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) and the Metropolitan Council,” the website said. “The study will last approximately one year, during which time corridor communities, operational agencies, local businesses and community stakeholders, and the public will have a chance to help establish a common vision, develop priorities and identify the necessary steps for implementation.”
