Cache Road Paving Eyed by Local Property Owners
Property owners along Cache Road plan to form a private paving district to widen the road from Fort Sill Boulevard to Sheridan Road at their own expense. They aim to file tentative plans with petitions from about 70 to 75 percent of owners, challenging a proposed State and federal widening project that includes a 31 foot safety island and an underpass. Opponents say the plans would hurt business property and federal funding hinges on keeping features.
