MLK Project to be Explained at Meeting

 

The City of San Angelo’s Engineering Services Division will host an informational meeting regarding street and sidewalk improvements along Martin Luther King Drive at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, June 30, at St. Joseph Catholic Church.

The forum is open to the public. The church is located at 301 W. 17th St.

The gathering is intended to inform residents and businesses along the thoroughfare of the MLK Transportation Enhancement/Infrastructure Rehabilitation project. The effort will encompass rebuilding MLK, replacing water and sewer mains, and adding sidewalks and bicycle lanes. City officials will provide details and answer questions about the project and each of the components to be rehabilitated and constructed along MLK.

MLK will be the first street to be rebuilt as part of a 10-year, $80 million effort to reconstruct San Angelo’s most compromised roadways. Construction on MLK from Loop 306 to 29th Street is scheduled to occur from October through April 2018. The first of three construction phases on Bell Street – from Rio Concho Drive to Harris Street – is slated to occur from March through August 2018.

I'm glad to see that "finally" something is going to be done with the roadways on the North Side of San Angelo. TX. I drive down these roads on my way, to & from work throughout the year. It is clearly evident that many roads/streets on this part of town have been neglected. Improved streets are just as important on the North Side as well as the South Side of San Angelo, TX. Hopefully this will not be one of those "CHEAP" patch jobs done by other contractors completing street projects throughout our city! "IT'S ABOUT TIME"
