Project information Broadway Street is in the need of repaving. Like other county roads, this corridor serves a variety of roadway users from people walking to transporters of regional freight. Additionally, this two-mile segment connects to diverse land uses, such as business districts, residential neighborhoods and industrial parks. In coordination with the upcoming repaving project, the county and others are exploring possible opportunities to make the roadway safer and more comfortable for all users. As part of the process, the county and city are reviewing data about vehicle volumes, turning movements, speed and crashes, and reviewing city and county documents to provide a basis for next steps.
