A
recently formed Highway 14 New Ulm to Nicollet Task Force is holding an open
house on Thursday, February 1 from 4:30-6:30 p.m. in the Courtland Community
Center to inform the public on the task force’s challenge to make
recommendations for the future of Highway 14.
The Highway 14 task force is charged with providing recommendations to MnDOT
District 7 that make the best use of potential transportation funding. The
expansion of Highway 14 from New Ulm to Nicollet is currently unfunded,
however, MnDOT is advancing the design and environmental processes to be
prepared for potential funding from programs such as the Minnesota
legislature’s Corridors of Commerce.
If you can attend you will be apprised of the process moving forward, guidance
on decision making and the potential funding from the Corridors of Commerce.
The task force will also be looking for input on needs, issues and opportunities
along the corridor to consider.
The task force is made up of area business leaders and city and county
officials that will determine priorities around where the four-lane ends, major
intersection designs and access to Minnesota Valley Lutheran School and
businesses.
You can find background information on Highway 14 including the previous
environmental study and route selection at mndot.gov/newulm/. If you have any
feedback on the design of Hwy 14 between New Ulm and Nicollet, contact Zak Tess
at zachary.tess@state.mn.us, or
via phone at 507-304-6199.
