Title
Approving roadway geometry for the Mineral Point Road (Commerce Drive to S. High Point Road) & S. High Point Road (Mineral Point Road to north Greenway Drainage Property) (District 1)
Body
The Mineral Point Road project consists of reconstructing the concrete pavement and base course from the eastern Beltline Ramps to S. High Point Road.

There will be a large box culvert installation on Mineral Point Road from Commerce Drive to S. High Point Road and S. High Point Road to the north Greenway Drainage Property.

The pavement will be replaced on Mineral Point Road from Commerce Drive to the eastern Beltline Ramps and on S.

This is in the Pheasant Branch Watershed and the design of the box system will contribute to address flooding on the westside of the Beltline by Taco Bell/Target area. Portions of the existing street lighting system will be removed and replaced with new street lighting. The shared-use path along the north side of Mineral Point Road will remain as well as the BRT station on the east side of the S. High Point Intersection. The existing lane configuration inbound and outbound along Mineral Point Road and southbound S. High Point Road will remain. The northbound approach to S.
