Common Council Report

Meeting Date: October 17, 2006

Item No.:        

Recommendation:  To approve in concept the functional plan that would expand STH 38 to a four-lane divided highway from Oakwood Road to the southern city limits. 

Background:  The functional plans are for the expansion of STH 38 south of Oakwood Road from a two-lane rural highway to a four-lane divided highway.  The proposed location of the roadway would be to the west with the proposed northbound lanes in the location of the existing roadway.  New right-of-way would have to be established and purchased, however, the exact limits are not known at this time.   The northbound and southbound lanes would be separated by a 30-foot wide raised median island.  Curb and gutter would also be used within the city limits.

Fiscal Impact:  None
