If approved, the design work would begin in early 2021 and would be completed in 2023.

The meeting follows the Town Council’s approval of the feasibility study for the Highway 17 Bicycle and Pedestrian Overcrossing Project on Sept. 1.

That motion allowed staff to proceed with exploring design options and detailed engineering work, such as a final bridge structure, bridge width, and environmental clearance.
