In a recent government meeting, officials outlined significant upcoming infrastructure projects aimed at enhancing local roadways and addressing community needs. Key discussions included plans for resurfacing two roads and a full-depth reclamation of County Road 500 East, which is crucial for accommodating increased heavy truck traffic associated with the Anson development. The projects are set to be submitted for funding this month, with expectations for construction to commence in 2024.

The meeting also addressed financial adjustments for ongoing projects. A change order for bridge project 2021-21 was approved, increasing the contract amount by $7,228.19 to cover necessary items that were not initially included. Similarly, a final change order for small structure project W0016 was approved, raising the total contract by $6,919.75 to account for additional work performed.

Lebanon Utilities received approval for a right of entry to access an easement along I-65, where they plan to install new lighting at the Hallbaker Road exit. This work is expected to take up to 30 days and will be coordinated to minimize disruption to local operations.

Additionally, the meeting highlighted ongoing traffic signal activations at various intersections, which are anticipated to improve traffic flow. However, concerns were raised regarding the clarity of signage at certain intersections, particularly regarding left turn restrictions that could confuse motorists.

Overall, the meeting underscored the local government's commitment to infrastructure improvement and community safety, with a focus on timely project execution and effective communication with residents.
