BAXTER — A traffic study was approved by the Baxter City Council for a proposal related to development of a Department of Veterans Affairs clinic on Novotny Road, just west of Edgewood Drive and Highway 371.

The council approved a Short Elliott Hendrickson contract not to exceed $14,000 for a Baxter Veterans Affairs Clinic traffic study on Tuesday, Oct. 21.

The property is directly west of the approved Kwik Trip site, on the south side of Novotny Road, the city reported, adding the study will analyze the impacts of the clinic on Novotny Road, Highway 371, Edgewood Drive, Woida Road, and Pine Beach Road.

“The study will also analyze the need for three planned roadway connections in conjunction with the clinic to provide acceptable traffic operations,” the city reported.
