The full story

Bruce, presenting the county's draft five‑year transportation improvement plan, walked commissioners through year‑by‑year changes and new projects. He said some projects were shifted between resurfacing and reconstruction and that the county will include a LRIP-funded township project (no county dollars required). For 2031 he proposed a 2.5‑mile complete reconstruction on CR 40 (Balsam Road) north of the airport and a major reconstruction concept for Anne Street (CR 52) including curb and gutter, a trail or sidewalk and potential medians or turn lanes.
