City celebrates Mill Street reopening

SPRINGFIELD – After stormy weather soiled plans for the Mill Street grand opening that was initially scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 5, the City of Springfield celebrated a sunny ribbon-cutting ceremony last Friday.
Construction on Mill Street broke ground in September last year, and south A Street to Centennial Blvd. was officially opened on Halloween the previous month. The completed project includes new pavement, ADA-compliant sidewalks and curb ramps, upgraded storm and wastewater infrastructure, improved street lighting, relocated underground utilities, and fills gaps in the city’s bicycle network.
According to the city, nine bicyclist-involved crashes were reported along the project length, so pedestrian safety was a high priority.
The project supports the City’s goals for a safer, more reliable transportation corridor for the community.
