Title: Robert Street and log points
Post by: MNHighwayMan on February 17, 2018, 05:05:56 PM
Couple things that are tangentially related:

I noticed that Robert St (unsigned 952A) is still listed in the latest log point. Why is that road still under state maintenance?

And what's the deal with the log point info? From the website, it looks like something that MnDOT is no longer putting out (especially with the last version being from May 2016). :-(

Robert St is still under state maintenance because the state, county, and local municipalities likely hadn't come to an agreement yet on its turnback.

The impending (current?) reconstruction on Robert St is probably a precursor to turnback.

As for the log point info in general, the below disclaimer on MnDOT's website probably has something to do with it:

My understanding is that Mn/DOT was unwilling to contribute enough money to the reconstruction to make the local agencies agree to take it, so it will remain a trunk highway.

Right, which is how it goes every time. I was wondering if there was something more specific to it than that, which Mdcastle suggests.

It's precisely that which made me curious in the first place. :-D
