Why Now?

In collaboration with the Highway 71 corridor study in Park Rapids, MnDOT identified Highway 34 as a visioning study to identify pedestrian crossings improvements and other longer-term goals. Potential improvements could be incorporated as part of a pavement resurfacing planned in the next 5-10 years.

Corridor Needs

• Pavement resurfacing to extend the life and ride quality of the road
• Potential to improve pedestrian crossing and safety
• Long-term goals

Study Opportunities

• Opportunities for improved pedestrian crossings
• Future goals, potential improvements, and projects that could be implemented in the next 5-10 years
• Improvements could be recommended at school crossings as identified in the Park Rapids Safe Routes to School Plan
