CSAH 50

Cass County is continuing with the plan development for the CSAH 50 corridor based on comments collected at Project Management Team meetings and property owner meetings. The concept to date includes an alternative alignment (Alternative 2) from Choke Cherry Lane to Bearberry Trail.  This new alignment would be located north of the existing garages and cabins on the north side of CSAH 50. The existing alignment would be maintained, except for minor adjustments to meet a 40 mph State Aid design standard, on the remaining portions of CSAH 50 from CSAH 71 to Bearberry Trail and Choke Cherry Lane to Trunk Highway 371.  Possible intersection revisions have been identified at CSAH 71 and TH 371.

CSAH 71

Cass County is continuing with the plan development for the CSAH 71 corridor based on the previous agreement with the Chippewa National Forest Service and comments collected at the August, 2001 open house.  The next step in this process will be to present the revised concept plan for additional public input.  An open house will be held on Friday, August 2, 2002 , from 5:00 to 7:00 P.M. , at the Hackensack Senior Center . The proposed plan includes maintaining the existing alignment, except for minor adjustments to meet the Natural Preservation Route standards and a few potential new alignment areas to address issues and concerns raised through the public involvement process and environmental investigation. Possible intersection revisions have been identified for consideration at Bachelor Road , Hiram Loop Road and CSAH 50.  The potential new alignment areas include: Angel Island , Lundstrom’s Bay, and Hiram Loop Road .  Final plan development for CSAH 71 will begin after the Cass County Board has approved the design features.
