 Memory Wood Drive in Baxter will soon see a facelift, but exact plans are drawing in debate amongst the members of the Baxter City Council. The council has been presented with four different options for the project, all involving reclamation of the street. The debate around the project involves options for pedestrians with the possibility of a trail or bike lane. However, the width of the road and the proximity of the homes to the road are posing logistical challenges for the project. Currently it's a road that was reconstructed or reconstructed, I believe, in the late 80s. So it's well past its life expectancy. And so we're looking to reconstruct that to better meet the needs of the constituents that use that area. It always has to have a safety component to it so that people walking, people that are driving, that everybody is as safe as we can possibly make them. The project is expected to take place in 2019, the cost based on the four different options presented to the council range anywhere from $1.7 million to $5.5 million.
