SUMMER WRAP UP WHERE WE HIGHLIGHT CITY PROJECTS THAT ARE EITHER FINISHED OR ALMOST DONE.YOUR CITY HAS BEEN WORKING HARD FOR YOU, MAKING UPGRADES AND IMPROVEMENTS TO OUR INFRASTRUCTURE.
WE WIDEN SHILOH ROAD FROM 14TH STREET TO PARK BOULEVARD, EXPANDING THE EXISTING ROADWAY WITH TWO NEW NORTHBOUND LANES.
OTHER IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDE TWO NEW BRIDGES IN THE NORTH AND SOUTHBOUND DIRECTIONS.
THE ADDITION OF NEW STORM DRAIN SYSTEMS, REPLACEMENT OF OLD CAST IRON WATER LINES, NEW SIDEWALKS AND TRAIL CONNECTIONS, STREETLIGHTS AND DEDICATED BIKE LANES ALONG THE OUTSIDE OF THE ROADWAY.

TWO NEW LANES AT THE INTERSECTION COMPLETE A FOUR LANE DIVIDED APPROACH FROM LOS RIOS BOULEVARD.
