Public Invited to Open House on South 27th and Pine Lake Improvements
The public is invited to an open house on proposed roadway improvements in the area of South 27th Street and Pine Lake Road from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, February 13 in the Scott Middle School multi-purpose room, 2200 Pine Lake Road.
The project includes improvements to 27th Street between Pine Lake Road and Yankee Hill Road to enhance the safety and traffic capacity in the area. The street will be widened into a four-lane divided roadway with turn lanes. It is currently in the final design phase, and construction is expected to begin by summer. Most of the work is scheduled to be completed by the end of the year. At the open house, the project design team will be available to answer questions.
Information also will be provided on scheduled improvements to Pine Lake Road between 14th and 27th streets. The Pine Lake Road improvements include the addition of turn lanes at 14th Street, Hazel Scott Drive, Helen Witt Drive and Pine Lake Road. A traffic signal also will be installed at Helen Witt Drive. The construction timeline will depend on acquisition of right of way, and could take place in summer 2007 or 2008.
Those wanting more information on the open house can call Katie Tauer, E & A Consulting Group Inc., at 420-7217. More information on this and other City Public Works and Utilities construction projects is available on the City Web site at lincoln.ne.gov (keyword: projects).
