From Leader Publications: Kimmswick residents and any other interested parties are invited to check out plans to improve parts of Market Street and Fifth Street in the city at an April 30 public hearing.
The Jefferson County Public Works Department will hold the hearing from 4:00PM – 6:00PM at the Rock Memorial American Legion, 910 Montebello Road, in Imperial, when it will provide information about its plans to install sidewalks, overlay streets and complete other improvements.
As is customary at the department’s open-house style public hearings, there will be no formal presentation.
“You can come at any time, view the drawings of what’s being planned and talk to staff and the engineers,” Public Works Director Jason Jonas said. “You’ll be able to offer your comments on what’s being planned, and the engineers will take any useful information and incorporate it into the final drawings.”
What’s being planned is actually two different, but related, projects. One involves work on Market Street and the other Fifth Street.
“For the Fifth Street part, we’re planning a sidewalk from Windsor Elementary (in Kimmswick) at Fifth and High streets to Beckett Street (Hwy. K) to border the city park there. There will be a 10-foot shared use path (for pedestrians and bicyclists) with a tree-lined buffer,” Jonas said.
