Welch Lions Propose Route 82 Cutoff for Welch
Welch Lions Club considers a Route 82 cutoff to connect Riverside drive with a city area and the hill above the high school. Proposed mountain road would be about a mile long with estimated cost between 200 000 and 300 000 dollars. The plan aims to create safer school access and route through traffic away from Welch streets. Insurance and rock stability concerns are noted due to the mountainside.
