After hearing public comments for over 90 minutes during the hearing the council amended the preliminary assessment to not include a sidewalk along 1st Avenue North. Over 20 residents spoke during the hearing bringing up various questions and concerns with the majority requesting not to have a sidewalk on 1st Avenue.
The almost $16 million project now moves into the final design stages with final plans and specifications to be ready by October. The West Side Reconstruction Project impacts 14 roadways, close to 200 homes, and 6 commercial properties with construction scheduled to start in the Spring of 2025.
