Project Description: In recent years the City of Mapleton, ND has made a considerable investment in flood protection, which has resulted in new developments and a greater need in traffic safety along major roads. Close proximity to the Fargo Metropolitan Area, as evidenced in recent years, will increase the pace of growth in Mapleton and therefore create larger volumes of traffic on Cass County Highway 11, which is a major gateway to the City. It is anticipated that larger scale commercial and shopping facilities will also be located in this area within the next 5-7 years. This expansion in traffic drastically increases the already existing need for a multi-use path along Cass County Highway 11. The Mapleton Multi-Use Path Project is to be comprised ofa 10 foot wide, 2000 foot long, multi-use concrete path within the right of way ofCass County Highway 11 in the City of Mapleton running along the main residential areas of Mapleton from City Hall and the Community Center past the Mapleton Elementary School to further residential development near the south of town. This new multi-use path will serve to allow safer and more desirable access for pedestrian and bicycle traffic as well as easing the safety concerns for travelers on Cass County Highway 11.
