Hurley Council hearing updates on Range View Drive project.

HURLEY – The Hurley City Council hearing more updates on the proposed Range View Drive project that could see nearly half of costs reimbursed through the Wisconsin Department of Transportation’s Multimodal Local Supplement program.  The Wisconsin Department Of Transportation recently sent the city a letter stating that $450,000 in funding, or 48% of the overall $935,000 of project costs would be available as reimbursement. The city would be responsible for the remaining $485,000.  WDOT would require the project to be completed within five years but that could possibly be four years if the calendar started with the summer grant cycle.  The work is a traffic safety priority to widen the only road access to Hurley K-12 School, where multiple buses and cars navigate a narrow road that is also a designated all-terrain vehicle route.
