GoodLife Agriculture could connect with business Highway 75 by using G Road west, but the city's one-year street plan includes paving  G Road east to the unpaved 19th Street.

NEBRASKA CITY - Nebraska City commissioners held a public hearing Monday on a one-year street plan that includes proposed improvements to Fifth Corso and new concrete on G Road from the transfer station to the rocked 19th Street.

The six-year plan includes a $2 million project for concrete, sidewalk and storm sewers on 10th Street north of First Avenue. Bridges on North Table Creek at Sixth Street and South Table Creek at Third Street are also on the plan.

 Street Commissioner Joe Chaney did not comment on adding G Road paving to the city's one-year street plan at Monday's city council meeting

Construction and Facilities manager Marty Stovall said the one-year projects are contingent upon city budget hearings scheduled later in July.

The $980,000 overlay and curb project on Fifth Corso from 11th to 19th Street is contingent upon a $450,000 community development block grant.

 Stovall told city commissioners that paving portions of the transfer station road and portions of 23rd Avenue to 19th Street is on the one-year plan in anticipation of GoodLife Agriculture construction. He said having the street improvements in the one-year plan prepares for the project in the event that the company chooses to pave the street in the current year.

Stovall: “The traffic plan, the study that they did, did not require that (paving), but I was hearing some discussion that maybe they were wanting to pave it. If they do, I would have to have it listed on the plan.”

Parks Commissioner Patrick Wehling asked about the location of the proposed paving to include the transfer station road.

Stovall said there is discussion about using the transfer station road (N. 22nd St.) to enter the GoodLife Agriculture site from the west. The project includes paving G Road, which is also 23rd Avenue, as far east as 19th Street.

If there is G Road paving, it will leave a section of 19th Street to Business Highway 75 unpaved. The section includes access to the proposed sports complex, Saint Mary’s Cemetery  and  several residences include the residence of Street Commissioner Joe Chaney.
