Council works to stop SH45 SW

In their continued battle against State Highway 45 Southwest, City Council members passed a resolution Thursday that reaffirms their opposition to construction of the road. They asked the city manager to explore the city’s legal options regarding the proposed highway project and to report back to Council before Nov. 20, when it will be discussed during an executive session. The resolution comes on the heels of a September report issued by the city’s Watershed Protection and Transportation Departments. The resolution that was passed Thursday highlights Council’s concerns about Flint Ridge Cave, species preservation, and risks to groundwater and surface water.
