W Green Street widening plan moves forward with April contracts
Widening of W Green Street under a $20 percent city share and state funded ROWs aims to widen the busy corridor to extend to Superhighway 29 70. City Manager Hinson said bids may be awarded in April as Cross Town widening completes an east west route and Elm Morris street links expand traffic capacity. The council also eyed a north south artery, water storage lake land needs, and concessions for summer parks while approving a sewer cleaning machine purchase and aerial survey for the water reserve.
