Highway 70

• Goal: create sense of community when driving through

Grantsburg

• Ideas

1. Develop frontage roads where lots of businesses are located (safer) and create greenspaces with trees, flowers and grass between highway and frontage roads 2. Add sidewalks to increase foot traffic (safer) 3. Create sense of community with updated light fixtures, way-finding signs, cohesive signage, reduced speed limit, crosswalks, etc.

• Finished project:
• Led by Kristina Kelley-Johnson, Caylin Muehlberg Chris Bartlett

and Wade Vitalis (collaboration of Village + Library + GRO), is to support our goal of promoting our community's assets.
