The meeting is an open house-style format and there will be no formal presentation, allowing those interested to come and go as schedules allow.

Project exhibits will be available for public inspection at the meeting and online at https://cityofls.net/douglas-project. Comments will also be accepted online from July 10-24, and will be made a part of the public meeting record for the project.

Proposed project improvements include: roadway reconstruction with curb and gutter; share the road bicycle facilities; on street parking (one side); continuous sidewalks along each side of the roadway; continuous street lighting; new enclosed storm drainage system; new waterline infrastructure; and associated utility relocations.
