Resident feedback collected for improvements to Southbend Boulevard
More than 100 residents met Oct. 30 with City staff at Jessica Clinton Park to discuss the Southbend Boulevard Feasibility Project. The event aimed to gather community input on proposed improvements for the 4-mile stretch from SW Oakridge Drive to SE Becker Road. The project will enhance safety and traffic flow on this vital roadway, which sees more than 15,000 vehicles daily.
Attendees spoke with project team members, participated in a survey and reviewed information boards detailing the project. For those who could not attend, the survey is available on the City website until the end of the year. Share your feedback here.
Engaging the community is crucial for the success of this project, and we appreciate everyone ' s participation and input.
