Csah 15: at the intersection with MN 7 & 24TH ST N in the city of montevideo- pedestrian crossing improvement (hawk signal system) & ADA

The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) received a $104,690 Formula Grant award from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205), effective September 2, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of August 28, 2032. This award funds pedestrian crossing safety improvements at the intersection of County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 15 with Minnesota State Highway 7 and 24th Street North in Montevideo, Minnesota, through the installation of a Handicapped Accessible Walk (HAWK) signal system and associated Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance enhancements. The HAWK signal system represents a specialized traffic safety improvement designed to enhance pedestrian safety and accessibility at this high-traffic intersection.

The project falls within the Highway Planning and Construction program's eligible activities for highway safety improvements and pedestrian facilities. As a Formula Grant allocation, funding was distributed to Minnesota through the statutory formula-based allocation process administered by FHWA, with project selection and prioritization determined by MnDOT in coordination with local authorities in accordance with state transportation planning processes. The multi-year project timeline reflects the typical scope for localized infrastructure safety enhancements that require design, environmental review, and installation phases to ensure compliance with federal requirements and ADA standards.
