North Main Street Reconstruction

This is a planned project:

1. We realize we have a significant problem with the pavement condition on North Main Street and have identified it as one of our priorities to make repairs soon, however,
2. When we do work on North Main (north of Despain) is subject to budget and the completion of Despain and improvements on Franklin Grade Road,
3. If we do a project on that section of the road, we anticipate we will not have enough money to do anything except repave the travels lanes.
4. If there was going to be anything other than repaving the travel lanes we would have a neighborhood meeting to discuss concepts. If we design anything that will be a change form the current configuration we will have a neighborhood meeting to inform the residents.

More information:

N Main is shown on the tax lot maps with a 80-foot ROW from NW Bailey to NW Furnish (vacated).

N Main is classified as a collector.  Existing street configuration varies, but basically is 67-foot curb-to-curb, two travel lanes, two parking lanes, and bi-directional parking in the middle.  Per our standard for 80-foot ROW, it should have two travel lanes, two bike lanes, and two parking lanes for a 52-foot curb-to-curb width.

Due to funding and the width involved, staff is recommending, if budget allows, to reconstruct the travel lanes and place a leveling course of asphalt on the rest as budget may allow.
