Update: Official Update from the city - They are not pursuing these projects even though they are under Engineering Projects on the Cities Website.. Thanks everyone.
🚨 WE NEED YOUR HELP – THIS AFFECTS OUR ENTIRE BUSINESS CORRIDOR 🚨
Once again… we are being forced to fight for our livelihoods.
The City is proposing a plan that will:
➡️ LIMIT access to nearly every business along our corridor
➡️ Spend MILLIONS of dollars to do it
➡️ Force ALL traffic into just TWO intersections
Let that sink in.
🚦 Traffic from major employers like UPS, Wisco, and Evolution Completions would be pushed to:
• The Walmart light
• The Holiday (Circle K) light by MWEC
❌ All other access points in between? GONE.
This will create:
🔥 Massive congestion
🚒 Delays for Williston Fire Department Station 2
🚧 Reduced access to local businesses
💰 Direct impact on jobs, customers, and growth
🏪 BUSINESSES THAT WILL BE HIT:
Dark Acres Halloween
Dark Secrets Lingerie
Madman Fireworks (New Location)
Bakken Boba & Brew
Evolution Completions Wireline
One Stop Trailerz
The Shed Center of Williston
J&J Automotive
Holiday Gas Station
Badlands Clutch & Transmission Repair
Burnett Family Fireworks
Preacher in the Patch at The Shop
Hollen Auto Body
Lonnie’s RoadHouse
TNT Fireworks
PSG FR Clothing & Workwear-Oilfield
UPS (YES — ALL TRAFFIC MOVED TO WALMART LIGHT 🤯)
Wisco
Williston Tank Rental
Giggle Kids Daycare
Prizm Dance Studio
Cottonwood Forest Pumpkin Patch
“The Haunt”
Bakken Attachments
Centennial Homes
Expanse Electric
Gooseneck Implement
American Valuation Group
Full Circle Strength Systems
…and countless homes and small shops
⚠️ THIS ALSO IMPACTS:
• Fair Road access
• MWEC congestion
• Emergency response times
