WINONA, Minn. – Mayor Scott Sherman said he’s received positive citizen feedback to four rotary intersections that opened last winter on Mankato Avenue on the Far East End. The question about two new rotaries proposed by the state Highway Department on Broadway, as well as one on Sarnia, should be whether safety would be improved, Sherman said in a Winona Post interview. The mayor recalled oppositions to the Mankato projects in their pre-design stage, but, he said, they have won people over. “Sure, construction is always a pain in the butt, but it should be better for all users when it is all said and done.”
