The purpose of the Ryan Road widening project is to create a second arterial route through the city, Senior Real Estate Specialist Angel DeLory said.
The project will turn the two-lane road into four lanes and also includes additional improvements to drainage, street crossings, sidewalks and street lighting, per city documents.
Funding for the Ryan Road project, which has a projected cost of $4 million, comes from 2019 bond funds.
The acquired land will be used to create:
- Drainage easements
- Rights of way
- Temporary construction easements
