Grant County to apply for state safety funding for rural intersection; road projects discussed
Summary
The board authorized an HSIP application to improve safety and visibility at the intersection of 55th St. SW and 58th Ave. SW and discussed two shaping/graveling projects: 13 miles from Carson to Cannonball and 12 miles from Brisbane to Stage Stop.
Grant County Commissioners authorized staff to submit an application to the Highway Safety Improvement Program to seek cost-share funding for visibility and safety improvements at the intersection of 55th St. SW and 58th Ave. SW (the shared corners of Sections 4, 5, 8 and 9, Township 136N, Range 87W).
Sauber Engineering’s John Sauber met with the board to discuss future road and bridge projects and recommended applying to HSIP for the intersection improvements. Commissioner Marty Meyer moved to submit the application and Commissioner Al Roy Hochhalter seconded; the motion carried on a recorded roll-call vote.
The board also discussed two shaping and graveling projects: a 13-mile stretch from Carson south to the Cannonball and a 12-mile stretch from Brisbane to Stage Stop. The minutes record discussion of the projects but do not list funding sources or timelines; the HSIP application seeks a cost-share arrangement to help fund the intersection work.
Officials directed staff to proceed with the HSIP application and to return to the board with project details and any funding commitments required.
