St. Louis County Gathers Input for West Arrowhead Road Safety

HERMANTOWN, Minn. – People gathering at the Hermantown YMCA to give the St. Louis County Public Works community input regarding the Active Transportation Plan for West Arrowhead Road.

The project’s main focus is the stretch between Haines Road and Rice Lake Road, where heavy traffic and limited pedestrian or bike accommodations can make travel for non-motorized users difficult. The overall goal is to improve safety and accessibility for everyone who uses the road, starting today, by asking the people who drive, bike, and walk along Arrowhead Road.

“The question with this planning project is, what could we do differently along the roadway?” Said Victor Lund, traffic engineer, St. Louis County.

For those who were unable to attend the meeting, we have the project linked to our website, where you can learn more and give input.
