Top Stories from Hutchinson, Minnesota

Roundabout assessments protested

Hutchinson’s participation in the state’s construction of a roundabout at the State Highway 15/North High Drive intersection was reconfirmed Tuesday night. But some neighboring property owners told City Council members they’ve been left out of the process.

The council passed a resolution authorizing City Engineer Kent Exner to continue preparing plans and specifications for the $300,000 worth of water, sewer and stormwater lines the city will install.

Outdoors question of the week - snakes on the driveway

Q: Snakes occasionally can be spotted sunning themselves on driveways. Should property owners be concerned?

A: The most numerous snake in Minnesota is the common garter snake, which is harmless. The appearance of unwanted snakes is usually due to cracks or holes in concrete structures. These spaces provide warm places for the snake to spend the winter. When spring returns, the snakes reappear outside.

Observing the Crow River

Matt McIntosh, foreground, and his father, Jim, worked Wednesday on forms to pour a concrete slab for an observation platform above the new Crow River dam in Hutchinson. The platform, which will be open to the public, will be mounted on top of a rock structure that housed flood gates in the former concrete dam. The observation deck will not open until all work on the dam and the surrounding park area is complete.
