(KLZA)--On the recommendation of the Downtown Revitalization Committee, the Falls City Council Monday night approved hiring Snyder & Associates as the engineering firm for Phase II of the Downtown Improvement Project.
The Committee interviewed three engineering firms for the project.
The next phase will include new sidewalks on both sides of Stone Street between 16th and 17th Streets and if funding is available would include the intersection at 16th and Stone Street.
Second Ward Councilman Charlie Bentley asked if the next step would include bump outs at the corner. He said that is the biggest complaint he has heard about the first phase of the Downtown Improvement Project.
City Administrator Gary Jorn noted the plan is likely to include bump outs for uniformity purposes, but said they could possibly be smaller than the current layout at the corners of 17th and 18th and Stone Street.
The project will not likely begin until 2019.
