The Task Force conducted a survey in September of 2020 regarding Highway 252 planning and safety. Click up above to see the results. Note: The first question was asking for the participants name and address and is not included in the report. Important Note: clarification of terms, at the time of the survey the 252 safety task force described an expressway as a road with no traffic lights or stops along its length, it has controlled access with fewer exit and entry points. Later we learned that MnDot’s terminology is different that we had thought. Although the terms were incorrect, based on the survey most people would prefer improving Highway 252 with solutions such as flashing signs warning of red lights, pedestrian overpasses, enforcement of speed limits, dividers to protect left hand turners at 66th and 73rd.
