CROSSLAKE — The Crosslake City Council received information to share with residents and businesses about its next major project - a pedestrian and intersection improvement project at County State Aid Highways 66 and 3 - at its regular meeting Monday, July 11.
People can find information at https://www.crowwing.us/1565/Road-Studies . The Crow Wing County project site includes information on a parking and pedestrian route study, storm water quality improvements, Transportation Alternatives grant application and Federal Lands Access Program grant application.
The documents outline options, including a traffic control device and a roundabout, at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Cross Lake Recreation Area entrance intersection at CSAHs 3 and 66.
The council identified Mayor Dave Nevin and Public Works Director Pat Wehner to help review applicants and choose an engineer for the project. The city will include a link on its website to the documents.
The project is in response to the anticipated opening of the National Loon Center in 2024 at the recreation area and the expected traffic it will generate.

In April, the city and county were awarded a combined amount of $1.46 million from two federal grants to fund construction to address existing and future challenges.
Crosslake Chamber Director Cindy Myogeto reminded the council of the importance of keeping businesses and residents informed about these projects that occur in summer during the height of Crosslake's busy season.
