In addition, the project provides drainage, minor roadway widening and resurfacing improvements. The project limits are from Oberlin Avenue to the County line. Public testimony is encouraged and may influence the final design of this project.

Online registration is required to attend. On the morning of the meeting, an invitation to participate in this hearing will be emailed to registrants.
