County engineer urges public to weigh in on long‑range transportation plan via survey and interactive map
Summary
Crow Wing County Engineer Tim Bray urged residents to provide input on the county's long‑range transportation plan through a survey and an interactive map on crowwing.gov to identify local traffic pain points and priorities.
Tim Bray, Crow Wing County’s engineer, gave an update on the county’s ongoing long‑range transportation plan and asked residents to submit comments through two tools posted on the county website: a traditional survey and an interactive mapping tool.
Bray said the interactive map is the same technology used for the county’s recent comprehensive plan and lets residents place pins and leave focused comments about specific locations and transportation problems. “It is gravely important to hear from the residents about those pain points that they all know, and experience in their daily commutes,” Bray said, adding that staff are using press releases and social media to drive participation.
Why it matters: Public input will shape priorities about road projects, maintenance and safety investments in the county’s long‑range plan. Bray encouraged commissioners and residents to use the tools and to share local concerns from perspectives such as school bus drivers, parents dropping off children and daily commuters.
Next steps
Bray said staff will collect and analyze responses and noted the map already shows a number of public comments. He invited commissioners to try the tools themselves and urged continued outreach to increase participation.
Ending
The interactive map and survey are available on crowwing.gov; Bray asked the public to place detailed, location‑specific comments to help county staff identify and prioritize transportation needs.
