Hello Friends,

A huge "Thank You" to each and every one of you for your support to save Cascade Falls and the Wilke Glen in this petition. Your voices have been heard loud and clear.

Last night I attended an open-house review of the new MN-243 bridge crossing the St. Croix Rive at Osceola. The Department of Transportation has chosen to build the new bridge in the existing alignment as the current bridge. This is a huge win to protect the beautiful and fragile natural environments that bring so many visitors to Osceola. The tradeoff is that the bridge will be closed for 20 months and construction will begin in 2026.

Thanks again for your support to protect our beautiful natural surroundings for generations to come.

Tyler
