2nd Street (CSAH 11) Public Meeting - May 5, 2026

This was a public meeting held by St. Louis County on May 5, 2026, regarding the planned reconstruction project for 2nd Street (CSAH 11) in Proctor. The project scope includes removing existing concrete pavement, sidewalks, and curbs from 5th Street to Boundary Avenue and replacing them with new infrastructure while maintaining the current road configuration. Key procurement-related discussions involved the installation of raised concrete medians as supplemental safety measures to maintain the Federal Railroad Administration's quiet zone designation, which the city of Proctor must fund and maintain. The county will finance the road reconstruction and decorative street lighting installation, with the city responsible for ongoing maintenance and power costs. Coordination with MnDOT and other projects in 2027 was also discussed, including traffic detours and minimizing impacts to local businesses and schools. The meeting emphasized community outreach and input to address access and safety concerns during construction. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were announced, but the project planning and budgeting for construction and related improvements were detailed.
