Council weighs roundabout plan for Washington Street project
At a March 8 public meeting residents showed mixed views on a central roundabout, but City staff and council members said the tone was largely positive. Councilwoman Mary Beth Timmer noted many with initial concerns left more favorable, while Tim Klunder urged moving forward to bid by December 31 for a 2025 construction start as part of a larger Washington reconstruction from Franklin to the western city limits. The plan faces issues like right of way and parking relocations with an estimated 1.9 million cost if the roundabout is omitted and funding tied to safety and economic grants. Mayor pro-tem Sally Gruppen cast the lone no vote seeking more time for pedestrian and cyclist safety review.
