Street Repaving Plan Studied For City Projects
Safety-service Director Dwight Robinson outlined the summer street re paving program with surveys on Joneswood Dr Terrace Avenue and LaMar Drive. Joneswood and Terrace will widen to 26 feet to serve Route 33 and E State Street connectors. LaMar may widen to 20 or 26 feet or be paved as a one way. White arrows on Richland and Stimson avenues draw public interest for future projects including a Stimson extension across the Hocking River.
