LP, McLeod County discuss road changes

Roundabouts are off the table, but the Lester Prairie City Council and representatives from the McLeod County Highway Department discussed other options for changes to the intersection of McLeod County Road 9 and County Road 23 during a special meeting Monday. The construction will not begin until 2010, but the county is getting input from the city during the preliminary planning stages to be sure the design will meet the city’s needs. The county will meet with the city again this fall, and final plan should be approved early next year, according to County Engineer John Brunkhorst.
