WYDOT has no objections for the proposed 19-hole Mini golf Course. For the change-in-use of existing access on US 89 the applicant must obtain a new access permit from WYDOT. Please provide the latest site plan and traffic impact study for WYDOT review. Any highway mitigation measures determined necessary will be the responsibility and cost of the applicant. FYI - the future WYDOT highway widening project of US 89 between Thayne and Etna has been delayed indefinitely due to limited available funding. It now has a construction date in FY 2030. For any new utility construction within WYDOT right-of-way, the utility companies/owner shall obtain the necessary M- 54 utility license via the new on-line permitting process, MainStar, located at https://usa.maintstar.co/ Wyoming/Logon.aspx. Currently WYDOT requires any utility company needing access to the MainStar system to contact the local District Office for the license or permit, or to email dot.utilities@wyo.gov to set up your login credentials. An M-21 permit is necessary for new utility connections to existing permitted utilities within WYDOT R/W. WYDOT Utilities Section can be found at the following link: http://www.dot.state.wy.us/home/engineering_technical_programs/utilities_section.html If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know. Thank you.
