Highway 61 reconstruction
Letter: Opinions not backed by facts aren’t worth much
Oct 3, 2018
To the editor:
I have lived in our beautiful City 53 years, witnessed many local elections, but this year I question the process.
I know for a fact, that all persons running for any elected office receive a packet from the Secretary of State. It provides each candidate with important guidelines...
Letter: Close call shows why three lanes are needed
Oct 3, 2018
To the editor:
Last year, at this time I helped decorate the city for the fall season. I was helping to put up the corn stalks.
I was crossing Hwy. 61 carrying corn stalks in front of me. Two cars had stopped for me, one going north and one going south. I got to the middle of the street and out of...
Letter: Highway will help city move forward
Sep 26, 2018
To the editor:
Walking outside is the easiest no-cost method of active living and Lake City has one of the most beautiful lake shores to view doing this.
However, because of the difficulty of crossing Highway 61 and no sidewalk on the west side, I rarely enjoy seeing the lake on my regular walks....
Letter: Hwy. 61, band shell comments
Sep 26, 2018
To the editor:
Some comments on recent issues:
We completely agree with the decision to improve the band shell in Patton Park. There is no place better suited on the lakefront.
We want to point out the need for traffic signal lights at the corner of Grant Street (Goodhue County Highway 5) and...

Lake City is going through exciting times. We have the opportunity to make some much-needed changes to our beautiful city and focus on ensuring its bright future.
The Highway 61 Reconstruction Project scheduled for 2020 is way more than just an updated highway. It’s a chance to...
Letter: Bike communer will appreciate three-lane
Sep 19, 2018
To the editor:
As a three season bicycling commuter between my home on the north end of Lake City and the Public Works building on the south end, I often ride Highway 61 on my way home.
I follow the Mississippi River Trail (MRT) through downtown which follows the lake shore and does not run on...
Letter: Three lanes would be heavenly
Sep 19, 2018
To the editor:
I write as a grandfather of a 10 year old who loves to ride bike when he visits his grandpa in Lake City.
I support the three lane project because it will provide a safe, separate bike/pedestrian path for my grandson and me to ride. It will also slow traffic down so my grandson...
Letter: No going back once three lanes are complete
Sep 19, 2018
To the editor:
I can see drive-arounds on county roads.
The impression is Lake City is the only city that doesn’t have three lanes.
The interests of Lake City are more important than the interests of the State of Minnesota.
This is something that can’t be undone.

Letter: Band shell rationale ought to apply to Highway 61
Sep 19, 2018
To the editor:
I attended last week’s council meeting and found the discussion about where to locate the proposed bandshell very interesting.
The Bandshell Taskforce submitted their findings and voted, 7 to 4, to locate the bandshell in Patton Park, and made that recommendation to the council....
Letter: Support candidates who will honor commitments
Sep 5, 2018
To the editor:
I have been following the Facebook posts and conversations regarding the proposed reconstruction of the four-lanes through Lake City.
This is not a new idea that was just sprung on the people of Lake City. It has been part of the comprehensive plan for many years. MnDOT (The...
