The TH 47/65 corridors have a troubled history of serious and fatal crashes, including multiple pedestrian deaths. Bolton & Menk is part of a consultant team developing a future vision for the 10-mile stretch of both Highway 47 and 65 – two high-traffic state highways traversing urban and suburban cities in the Twin Cities metro area. The study seeks to identify concepts that will meet the safety-based goals and improve the highways for all users while balancing traffic management needs.
Bolton & Menk is leading the planning, concept evaluation, documentation, and community engagement portions of the study. Our community engagement efforts include a team of community-based partners focused on reaching people with different backgrounds, spoken languages, and perspectives. Our work will culminate with partner-supported recommendations for concepts and alternatives to be carried forward into the NEPA process.
