We're highly confident that if they give it an honest evaluation they're going to land right there at five lanes.

Improving a two and three land road to a better three lane road doesn't get you that big capacity improvement. The conclusion is we need a five lane facility and that's what we're going to build.

The five-year plan is our near-term 'do list.' It lists the projects likely to be included in our budget and built in the next couple of years. People wondering when that road will be widened, when that signal they heard was going in will actually occur, when a rumored new road might be built, can look in this document to see if it's going to happen soon.

At this point we are going ahead with the project as proposed, but the commission has not ruled out talking to the city.

The idea is to expand it with two additional travel lanes to be able to handle that volume.

There is no other place to put that storm water. And in absence of another place to put it, you're looking at road way and residential flooding during a rain event.
