Public Hearing and Draft Environmental Assessment for the Reconstruction of 33rd Street South from TH 15 to CSAH 75
Stearns County encourages the public to attend a public hearing for
the proposed reconstruction of 33rd Street South (S.P. 73-684-04). The
proposed project is located in the Cities of St. Cloud and Waite Park,
Stearns County, Minnesota. The hearing will be held on April 29th, 2009
from 5:30 to 7:30 at St. Cloud City Hall, 400 2nd St. South, St. Cloud,
MN 56301.
The purpose of the hearing is to inform the public about the
project, and encourage the public to comment and ask questions. Maps,
drawings, and other pertinent information, including the Draft
Environmental Assessment and other project documents developed for the
proposal, as well as written views received from local, state, and
federal agencies, will be available for public inspection and copying.
During the hearing the public will be able to discuss the project with
Stearns County officials along with representation from Bonestroo, who
conducted the study. Comments will be received either written or
verbally (by a court recorder), and will become part of the official
public hearing record. The comments will be considered when making
future project related decisions.
The proposed scope of the
project includes 33rd Street South from TH 15 to CSAH 75 as a four
lane, divided section, with intersection improvements and a bike trail
along the entire corridor. 33rd Street South will be extended west and
a new interchange will be constructed at the connection with TH 15.

purpose and need of the project along with the anticipated social,
economic, and environmental impacts are available for public viewing
