Existing Conditions

Road supplying the majority of the local residents access to the Citys only large grocery store. Residents access Safeway from N. 1st. Street W. as opposed to US 395 mostly due to the traffic on the highway. This road is almost completely deteriorated and beyond any type of patching repair. This is solely due to the traffic and age of the existing pavement. The sidewalks along the route are in fair shape with areas in need of replacement, several heaved areas, cracked buckled sidewalks exist. These sidewalks are mostly used by the middle school children that walk from the middle school to Safeway and back during lunch so the children/teen traffic on the sidewalks is high.
