Better Road Would Save Eight Miles for Most Southbound Traffic
The proposed west road would cut eight miles for about 90 percent of Graettinger and Ruthven southbound traffic headed beyond Emmetsburg. With Ruthven and Lost Island resort points sending 100 cars to them and only one car to Whittemore or east of Emmetsburg, the Emmetsburg drive length remains unchanged. The plan could save taxpayers $150,000 while offering a faster route for local business.
