WAUBAN — The Minnesota Department of Transportation and White Earth Nation are seeking the public’s feedback for a pedestrian safety and improvement study.
The study will be of Highway 113 between Highway 59 and Highway 71 within the White Earth tribal boundaries. The public can share their experiences walking or biking along or across Highway 113 via an online survey on the study website.
The survey will be open to the public until Oct. 27 and can be taken using a phone, tablet or computer.
MnDOT and White Earth Nation have partnered to study the existing pedestrian infrastructure on Highway 113. The purpose of the study is to identify existing issues and develop short-term and long-term solutions that can help improve safety for people who walk, bike or roll in this area.
