Neighbors,
I’m thankful for the opportunity to serve as your voice at our capitol and am committed to ensuring that Maple Grove and Osseo continue to be a great place to live, work, and raise a family.
Several of you have reached out to me to express your concerns over recent construction and its impact on our community. While all of us are grateful that MNDOT is addressing our community’s need for safer, more convenient roadways, the delays caused by construction have been frustrating for many in our district as they travel to and from work or summer activities. I have reached out to MNDOT to find possible solutions to reduce congestion and increase safety to minimize the impact of this summer’s construction on you and your family. I was assured that they are doing what they can to finish projects in a timely and responsible manner. We can look forward to more efficient road travel once these much needed road improvements are completed.
I will be speaking at the Maple Critical Thinking Discussion Group on Saturday, August 8th from 10:00-11:45 am at the Maple Grove Community Center about my experiences in the legislature this session. This group brings together community residents to engage in discussions impacting our state that leads to a civil and illuminating group discussion. Join us on the August 8th!
Please continue to reach out to me to share your thoughts on the transportation issues or other concerns that impact our state and community. You can reach me via phone at 651-296-5502, or via email at Rep.Dennis.Smith@house.mn.
Have a great weekend!
Dennis
