YOU sparked a design review.

Milaca, we heard your concerns about changing the intersection at 10th/110th Ave. (access to several businesses) to a right-in/right-out instead of a full-access intersection. This feedback encouraged us to review the intersection again to ensure compliance with safety and access standards.

If there was full access at this location, it wouldn’t meet intersection spacing requirements due to its proximity to the Hwy 169 and Hwy 2 intersections. Studies show that having intersections too close together increases the likelihood of crashes. MnDOT District 3 has also noticed more crashes in similar locations with more access. To prioritize safety, MnDOT will proceed with the right-in/right-out intersection since nearby roundabouts will still provide easy access to and from 10th or 110th Ave.
