Recommended corridor visions
The core subarea is complex and was the main focus of the study. Additionally, there were three outer intersections where existing issues were identified and potential improvement were evaluated. A summary of the recommended vision for each subarea is described below:
Core Mora subarea
A roundabout corridor is recommended, featuring single-lane roundabouts at Union St./Division St., Clark St., and at Forest Ave. Paved trail facilities on both sides of the highway are included, with enhanced pedestrian crossing systems included at several key locations. Frontage road reconfigurations and impacts are expected in several areas. This vision is planned for construction in 2030-2031. Click here or view the below layout of the recommended roundabout corridor layout for Core Mora subarea.
South subarea
A single-lane roundabout is recommended at the intersection of Hwy 23/65 and Dala Ln., replacing an existing traffic signal. The roundabout will improve intersection safety, operate with less delay, and improve pedestrian safety. This improvement is planned for construction in 2030-2031. Click here to view recommended improvements for the outer project subareas.
North and east subareas
A single-lane roundabout is recommended at the intersections of Hwy 65 at 9th St., and at Hwy 23 at Co. Rd. 71/Mahogany St. These projects are not programmed for a specific year and may be prioritized as area development increases or if safety issues arise.

Schedule
Phase 1: Project introduction (November 2022 - March 2023)
Mora Hwy 65 and Hwy 23 — Corridor Study has finished this stage
Introduce the study, develop project goals, learn more about the current conditions/issues and ask for feedback
Phase 2: Develop, evaluate, and establish a recommended design alternative (April - December 2023)
Mora Hwy 65 and Hwy 23 — Corridor Study has finished this stage
Share design alternatives, ask for feedback, and provide recommendations
Phase 3: Develop and share Implementation Plan and Study Report (January - June 2024)
Mora Hwy 65 and Hwy 23 — Corridor Study has finished this stage
The final report will include a recommendation for future action with a publicly supported design alternative. It will provide the framework for us to seek funding and municipal support for improvements to the Hwy 65 and Hwy 23 corridors including the planned 2030 reconstruction project through the City of Mora.
