Public meeting for William Street Calming Project scheduled for May 2

Columbia Public Works will host an open-house style interested parties meeting on Wednesday, May 2, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. concerning the William Street Calming Project. William Street has been identified as a street with operating speeds higher than desirable. The meeting will take place at City Hall, Room 1A, 701 E. Broadway.

The purpose of this public meeting is to review potential solutions for William Street from Broadway to Rollins Street. Construction is currently planned for 2019 subject to the City's public involvement process and City Council approval. Public Works engineers will provide an overview of the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program during the meeting and answer any questions.

The public is invited to help define and prioritize problems and identify desired outcomes. Information and diagrams showing some preliminary concepts will be available as well as a public comment form. Community feedback will be considered as the design is developed.
