MNDOT seeks survey input for highways 371 and 34

(KNOX) – The Minnesota Department of Transportation is asking the public to complete a survey and provide input on the preferred alternatives proposed for Highways 371 and 34 in Walker.

Based on these priority areas, the project team has developed roadway alternatives for different segments of the corridor. Please take a few minutes to review corridor concepts and rate your preference on each one. The survey can be found at www.inputcentral.com/walker-hwy-371-corridor-study.

Walker lies on the southwest coast of Leech Lake providing a community for 1,000 residents year around and thousands of visitors during recreational periods in all four seasons.

Highways 371 and 34 provide access from Walker connecting to Bemidji, Brainerd, Detroit Lakes, Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe land, Paul Bunyan State Forest, and many other travel destinations. At peak times, traffic can range to more than 12,000 vehicles per day.
