Street to Business 1 Business 105 Proposed Improvements

The proposed project would:

  • Reconstruct and widen the existing two-lane undivided roadway

to four-lane roadway with a continuous center two-way turn lane

  • Provide sidewalks and bicycle accommodations within the

project limits

  • Convert approximately 75 percent of the proposed project to a

curb-and-gutter system, with open ditches remaining towards the eastern end of the project limits

  • The project would require approximately 45 acres of additional

right-of-way, which may result in the displacement of businesses and residences
