Cloquet City Council Approves Municipal Consent for Highway 33 Reconstruction Project
The city council considered and approved Resolution 26-47, granting municipal consent for the reconstruction of Trunk Highway 33 within the corporate limits of Cloquet. The project, managed by MnDOT, involves upgrading pavement, sidewalks, storm sewer, lighting, and signals from Dodd Ridge to the river bridge. Key changes include signal updates at major intersections, realignment of Selmser Avenue with a new alignment for Lake Avenue, space for a future trail with a retaining wall, and modification of free-right turns at Cloquet and Carleton Avenues. The city's cost participation is capped at approximately $94,000 for eligible items, with additional costs for specific city-requested improvements like concrete panel replacement and a fence in Pinehurst Park. Federal trail money of nearly $200,000 will offset the retaining wall cost. Construction is planned for one season in 2028, with traffic managed by building half the roadway at a time.
