Purpose:

The purpose of this hearing webinar is to provide the public with the opportunity to become fully acquainted with the proposed intersection improvements at Pleasant Street & Village, Vine and Cross Streets project.

Drainage and utility adjustments will be made as needed to accommodate the proposed intersection channelization modifications.
