Summary

Council adopted a resolution authorizing an agreement with Wagner Engineering to resurface and widen Black Creek Parkway from Gadsden City High School to Highway 77, including a formal left‑turn lane into the high school.

The Gadsden City Council on Tuesday authorized an engineering agreement to resurface and widen Black Creek Parkway along the approach to Gadsden City High School and down to U.S. Highway 77, a project officials said is long overdue.

Councilor who introduced the item described the project as including creation of a formal left‑turn lane into Gadsden City High School and median replacement where an informal opening now exists. The council voted to suspend the rules and consider the resolution as new business; members then adopted the resolution authorizing an agreement with Wagner Engineering.

The nut graf: The project is intended to improve traffic flow and safety at the school entrance by establishing a full left‑turn lane where only a limited opening currently exists. The resolution passed by voice vote after the council suspended the rules to take up the item under new business.

The council did not provide a full project budget or construction schedule during the meeting; engineering will proceed with the agreement to define design, scope and costs.
