Hampton approves summer street projects

     The Hampton City Council approved this summer’s street repair projects during their regular meeting on Thursday, June 23.
     Two public hearings were held before approving resolutions for the Highway 65 Traffic Signals Project and 2016 Overlay and Pedestrian Ramp Improvement’s Project.
     The traffic signal project will replace the signals on the intersection of Highway 3 and 65 and modify the signals on the intersection of Highway 3 First Street to have a single flashing red light.
     To keep up with state regulations, as the work is done on the intersection of Highway 3 and 65, the sidewalks and crosswalks need to be brought up to disabled accessibility standards.
