'I Love This Woman': Online Outpouring for St. Croix Crossing Construction Crew Member

She sometimes dances while holding the 'Stop' and 'Slow' sign near Highways 36 and 95. Stillwater's Darn Knit Anyway shop celebrated her in an 'Open Letter to MnDOT.'

A blog post celebrating a St. Croix Crossing construction crew worker at the website of Stillwater shop Darn Knit Anyway is a runaway hit in its first 24 hours online. 

An excerpt: 

"She handles the stop and slow sign at the intersection of 95 and 36.  She tells us when a big dump truck is heading our way.

"I don’t know her name, but I wish I did.

"She smiles, waves, and looks like she’s laughing sometimes. She actually seems to pay attention to the cars when they pass her by. I get to look her in the eyes even!  I drove by her today and she was dancing. DANCING!  Now, it is 20 degrees outside today and she was probably freezing and dancing was keeping her toes warm but still! I love this woman.
