CAMBRIDGE - The City of Cambridge will host a public information meeting on Monday, April 14, to discuss proposed street and pedestrian improvements to Superior Street and gather public input. 

Improvements are proposed between Central Boulevard (U.S. 95) and the three-way intersection of Mill Road, Cemetery Road and Superior Street. The project is intended to reduce current roadway hazards, improve road and drainage conditions, and increase safety for vehicles and pedestrians. Proposed improvements include the following:

•     Replace existing sidewalks and installing curb and gutter within city limits;

•     Improve street surfacing;

•     Widen and replace a narrow culvert at Rush Creek with a two-lane bridge;

•     Install storm drainage; and

•     Improve roadway geometrics and sight distances on streets approaching the three-way intersection.

The April 14 meeting will be held at Cambridge City Hall, 80 S. Superior St. in Cambridge, between 4:00 and 6:45 p.m. A brief presentation of the proposed final design for the project will be given at 4:30 p.m. and again at 5:30 p.m. An opportunity for questions and comments will follow each presentation. Project construction is anticipated to take place in the fall of this year or early 2009.
