I apologize for the delay in responding to your <br />letter. As you are probably aware, funding for highway projects is in short supply <br />and competition for those limited dollars is fierce. However, I do have good news to <br />report. Funding for the study of Hwy. 169 between Elk River and Princeton has <br />been identified, beginning in fiscal year 2006, which begins July 1, 2005. <br />Representatives from the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) <br />District 3 will be contacting the cities and county in the very near future to get things <br />rolling. The selection of a consultant will begin in July of this year. The District 3 <br />contact person will be Craig Robinson, Project Development Engineer, and he can <br />be reached at 320-654-5539. <br /> <br />Mn/DOT is looking forward to working with the communities along this important <br />corridor to identify and address our long-term transportation needs. Again, I <br />apologize for the delay in responding as we were addressing our funding priorities. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />// ~ <br />(dm-7)::}dJzeJ~ <br /> <br />Carol Molnau <br />Lt.
