This potential project was discussed at our 2026 Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Workshop. 🎥 Watch the recording to learn more: https://youtu.be/MTEa46iBFN8

🕯️ As you share thoughts and feedback about this survey and potential project, we ask that you do so with kindness and consideration. Multiple lives have been lost along Badger Road, leaving grieving families, friends, and community members behind. These losses, including the deaths of children, are a reminder that conversations about roadway safety affect real people.

This potential project would explore safety improvements for multiple roadway users while addressing concerns about vehicle speeds and crossing opportunities. While no single improvement can eliminate every risk, we believe it is worth exploring strategies that could help make Badger Road safer.

We invite you to take the survey, learn about the proposed direction for this HSIP project, and share your feedback. Your input can help inform the next steps.

We are seeking public feedback on proposed roundabouts at several locations along Badger Road.
 
Crash data has identified these intersections as potential candidates for safety improvements through the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). The project is planned to begin with one or two roundabouts, with additional locations developed over time.
 
Your feedback matters! Whether you travel Badger Road daily or occasionally, we want to hear your thoughts. Your input will help inform the planning process.
 
📝 Take the survey here: https://arcg.is/0TTOiH1
📅 The survey closes November 6, 2026, at 11:59 p.m.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback!
