This <br />misunderstanding is that if the Elk Park Center project takes <br />place, then Jackson and School Street will be four lanes in <br />both directions from the intersection to the next major <br />intersection. The actual improvement discussed by the City <br />Council is an improvement of only the intersection into four <br />lanes with a tapering affect from the intersection. The <br />overall plans must certainly incorporate a four-lane design on <br />Jackson from 169 to Highway 10 and on School Street from <br />Proctor to Highway 169. Since Councilmember Farber brought <br />this up at a Council meeting, I have discussed the situation <br />with Joni Astrup, from the Star News. <br /> <br />Since the last Council meeting where this topic was discussed, <br />the City Engineer has been in contact with the School District <br />regarding the newly hired School District's engineers review of <br />this intersection. <br /> <br />At an upcoming <br />timing of this <br />specifications for <br />this project. <br /> <br />meeting, the Council will have to consider the <br />project, the ordering of plans and <br />the project, and finalize the financing for <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />P.O.
