Interchange with MN 120

While researching future plans for a grade-separated interchange with MN 120, I came across two handouts in one, Washington County is requesting $50 million from the State of Minnesota as part of S.F. 2157 (H.F. 2543 in the House) for the total project. In the other, the county requests only $3 million for planning. I'm unsure how this should be described in the article, and if it should be at all, because aside from those two things, I couldn't find any actual plans.

Update - I have sorted it out to my knowledge. NotDragonius (talk) 01:07, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Recommendations

PLEASE use cite web templates or something because basic references is kind of annoying. Note: maps are a bit hard to navigate if used as a source. But I’m not going to fail because of other road GANs.

@48JCL: are you sure that this is a pass? This seems to use the old style of map citations which there is consensus are original research... For example "The portion of MN 36 south of MN 62 was redesignated as a part of MN 77 in 1980. The former highway between MN 62 and I-35W reverted to county control as CR 152 (Cedar Avenue)." isn't in the source unless one does OR and compares it to other maps.

... that until 2017, Minnesota State Highway 36 used a lift bridge to cross the St. Croix River?

Reviewing this now. Nice GA~ Recently promoted, no need for QPQ. Earwig turns out fine. The hook is on history section. I duplicated the citation so that the hook is directly cited. Otherwise it's good to go Nyanardsan (talk) 03:24, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
