The Washington County Department of Transportation and Physical Development will conduct an open house next week to discuss the proposed Broadway Avenue (CR-2) and US-61 (Lake Street) intersection improvement project in downtown Forest Lake. The open house will take place from 4:30-8 p.m. on Tuesday, April 10, at the American Legion Post 225, 355 W. Broadway Avenue in Forest Lake. Washington County, city of Forest Lake, and Minnesota Department of Transportation are sponsoring the session to discuss the proposed Lake Street-Broadway Avenue project. Four design alternatives, including a proposal for a roundabout, are being studied at the downtown intersection to address safety concerns and congestion. At this open house citizens will have an opportunity to provide input and ask questions to staff members. The roundabout that had been proposed for construction in the downtown late this summer has been delayed at least a year.
