[Winona Online Democracy] There have been more public input sessions and invites regarding the traffic issues on 14 where it comes into the city at the base of Stockton Hill. I hope something can be done. I wonder why there can't just be one intersection out there with a light. Service roads could connect the traffic on each side of 14. The speed limit could be set to stay at 35 from the sharp corner near the top of the hill all the way into town instead of allowing traffic to speed up to 55+ going down hill. Trucks could take the 23 route from Stockton to Minnesota City -- that's the railroad route. If 14 being a state road is such a major legal hurtle, why not trade the State the Stockton to Winona section of 14 for the Stockton to Minnesota City section of 23? I remember the only reason I ever heard for trucks coming down 14 instead of using 23 was to avoid the Weigh Station. If that's the case, move the Weigh Station to the top of Stockton Hill. The trucks speeding up to get up that hill and the trucks speeding down it are the major problem.
