The city council approved a bid for the construction of a new taxilane at the local airport during its meeting on May 12, 2026. The project aims to improve aircraft movement efficiency and reduce congestion on the tarmac.
Additionally, council members further discussed the accident hotspot at the intersection of Main Street and Elm Avenue, where three collisions have occurred this year. Traffic engineers presented data showing the need for a traffic light or roundabout to enhance safety.
No final decision was made on the intersection improvements, but the council agreed to review a detailed proposal at the next meeting scheduled for June 2, 2026. The taxilane bid was awarded to ABC Construction for $2.3 million, with work expected to begin in July.
