RE: HSIP Grants for Street Lighting
Dear Mr. Hawkins:
The City Council of Otsego, MN is supportive of Wright County's efforts to secure
Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) for street lighting of the busy City/County
intersections of CSAH 39 and Nashua, CSAR 39 and Odean Avenue, CSAR 39 and
Ohland, and CSAR 39 and Page. In the past, there have been numerous accidents at these
intersections and better lighting may reduce or eliminate future accidents.
Sincerely,
City of Otsego
Jessica Stockamp, Mayor
