HERREID, S.D. - The South Dakota Department of Transportation, in collaboration with the city of Herreid, will hold a public meeting/open house on Monday, June 7, 2021, as part of the Herreid Master Transportation Plan. The public meeting/open house will be held from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Herreid Community Center located at 107 Main Street South.  A brief presentation will be made at the beginning of the public meeting, followed by a time for discussion among SDDOT staff, city officials, and the public.

The Herreid Master Transportation Plan study will address a full range of transportation options and issues including pedestrian, bicycle, transit, freight, air, and automobile. The purpose for the open house is to inform the public of the study’s intent, to record any transportation concerns the public may have, and to gather ideas to help determine future plans.

For those who cannot attend the meeting or desire additional information on the study, information will be made available online after the meeting at https://dot.sd.gov/projects-studies/projects/special-studies/herreid-master-transportation-plan. An online survey is also available on the study’s website to help gather thoughts on the current transportation system, identify future needs, and indicate priorities for future improvements and maintenance. Written comments will be accepted until June 21, 2021.
