Transportation committee reports $750,000 feasibility study and plans for public engagement
Summary
The county's transportation committee reported progress on a grant‑funded feasibility study (about $750,000) and said the county hired an engineering firm to assess potential infrastructure needs; the committee will run community‑engagement events, prioritizing the Lincoln County Fair.
The Lincoln County transportation committee reported progress on a federally funded feasibility study and community engagement plan.
A committee member said the group held a productive in‑person meeting with state engineers and the hired consultant, and that the county received a roughly $750,000 grant to fund a feasibility study. The county has engaged an engineering firm (referred to in the record as JO) to perform the study and used tools that analyze connected‑vehicle and cell‑phone data to map truck routes through the county.
Committee members said public engagement will be important and noted plans to staff a booth at the Lincoln County Fair — rather than at Nebraska Land Days — to collect local input. Officials described the engagement events as fact‑finding rather than presenting final alternatives.
Next steps: continue the feasibility work, finalize engagement dates and materials, and present findings to the board when available.
