Dayton Adopts Transportation Improvement Program

DAYTON—The Dayton City Council adopted a six-year Transportation Improvement Program for 2017 through 2022 at last week’s council meeting.

Some of the projects slated for the 2017-2022 cycle include; North Front Street bridge replacement, install a pedestrian/bicycle crossing light on North Front Street, create a bicycle lane on South Fourth Street, reconstruct the Touchet River Dike/ Mustard Ditch bridge, reconstruct Commercial Street, Cameron Street, North Willow Street, and improve Syndicate Hill, to name a few.

Some of the projects slated to begin in 2017 are: resurfacing for South Third Street, construction of a new sidewalk with ADA accessibility and other safety enhancements on Main Street between North Pine Street and North Front Streets, replacement of all street signs, street names and safety signs, and retrofitting existing street lamps with LED lights.

“This will cover everything for the next ten to fifteen years for streets,” said Mayor Craig George about the 2017-2022 Transportation Improvement Program. “It’s everything we could think of for the past few months,” he added.
