Nisswa, Baxter communities invited to take survey for Highway 371 potential improvements

BAXTER, Minn. –  The Minnesota Department of Transportation invites the traveling public, area residents and businesses to participate in a survey as part of an ongoing Highway 371 study between Nisswa and Baxter.

MnDOT is evaluating potential travel and safety improvements in the area that will help guide future construction. We invite the public to take the survey and provide input on possible changes. The survey runs until Sept. 9, 2024.

Visit the MnDOT Let’s Talk Transportation project web page to take the survey, learn more about the project and sign up for email updates at talk.dot.state.mn.us/hwy-371-nisswa-baxter-study.

Highway 371 between Nisswa and Baxter is a critical roadway for both the local community and the greater Brainerd Lakes region. The purpose of the study is to gain an understanding of transportation needs, identify potential future improvements, and determine how and when these improvements should be implemented. The study is focused on traffic, safety, land use and demographics.

MnDOT invites and encourages participation by all. If you need an ASL, foreign language interpreter, or other reasonable accommodation, or need documents in an alternative format (such as braille or large print), please email your request to Janet Miller at ADArequest@state.mn.us or call 651-366-4720.
