W. Main St. is the only direct entry into the community form the west and is used heavily by trucks from farmers, loggers and other commercial activities.  The existing pavement is from 24 to 30 feet wide and is in poor condition including spalling, rutting and alligatoring.  The proposed project will include a grind and inlay of the pavement to an average width of 28 feet.  There would be base repair in specific locations.  This would provide a better driving surface, repair some of the base failure causing rutting, and generally increase the effective capacity of the street.  The sidewalk in poor condition would be removed and replaced, which will make the sidewalk usable again.  One ADA ramp will be installed.  Drainage issues will be addressed as the system is affected by the improvements.  This should make the street more operable by removing ponding. 

The project will be stopped prior to Highway 47 as ODOT is designing improvements for the intersection right now.
