This past month, Hennepin County has hosted several community engagement meetings around the 2016 Redesign of the Franklin/Cedar/Minnehaha Intersection. The last of the meetings is tonight, February 9th, at 7PM (Open House begins at 6:30PM located at Matthews Recreation Center in Seward), if you have not attended a meeting and would still like to give feedback, it is strongly encouraged that you attend this one. Thank you to all of the community members, residents, local businesses, and other stakeholders that came out and supported making the intersection safer for everyone.

The County has done a good job of crafting up a safer intersection than the one that currently exists, but we see the potential for additions and changes that will make the redesign safer for all modes of transportation- particularly cyclists and pedestrians.
