RESOLUTION REQUESTING REMOVAL OF TWIN TRAILER ROUTE
FROM ffiGHWAY 36 IN STILLWATER
BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Stillwater that the City requests removal
of Highway 36 from the south junction of Highway 95 to the St. Croix River from the Minnesota
Twin Trailer Network System. The removal is justified by the following facts:
1. The accident rate for heavy commercial vehicles is significantly high.
2. The heavy commercial vehicles must leave turn lanes in order to turn at the intersection
of Main Street and Chestnut Street.
3. Trucks often encroach into oncoming traffic lanes to make turns through the City.
4. Traffic congestion is magnified significantly whenever truck traffic makes the turn at the
Main Street and Chestnut Street intersection.
5. There are no known twin trailer terminals in the downtown Stillwater area.
6. Alternate routes for twin trailer trucks are readily available.
