Why is this project being done?

The scope of this project is still under development. A main focus will be to improve poor pavement and upgrade parts of the stormwater system within the corridor. It will also provide the chance to address objectives in the city's Comprehensive Transportation Plan (PDF). There will be public input into this project. These things will guide the scope determination and move the project forward into design.

What work is proposed?

The Earhart Road Project will have many benefits to residents through enhancements to multiple transportation modes. Proposed updates include:

Repave the entire length of Earhart Road with in the City Limits.
Improve intersections with mini roundabouts to slow vehicles and efficiently move traffic in all directions.
Construct new sidewalks to get rid of several existing gaps.
Install bike lanes
Stormwater improvements.
