The Lincoln on the Move project would focus on maintaining and improving the existing street and infrastructure, but not widening the street. Planned work includes concrete repair or replacement, joint and crack sealing, curb and median repair or replacement, mill and overlay, public utility adjustments, updated pavement markings, and storm drain inlet top replacements.
Additional work with other funding sources would include signal replacements at Woods Boulevard, Sheridan Boulevard, and Van Dorn Street and the addition of pedestrian crossings with a rectangular rapid flashing beacon at Stockwell Street and O’Reilly Drive.
Other work will include upgrades to existing curb ramps to comply with Americans with Disabilities Act requirements and water main repairs and lead service line replacements. The project is estimated to cost $5.45 million. Construction funding would come from a combination of Lincoln on the Move, Highway Allocation Fund, and Lincoln Water System funds. Construction is anticipated to begin in spring 2026.
