Ben Benton, at the request of Sen. Tim Gragert of Creighton, testified in support of LB 1274 in front of the Nebraska Legislature's Transportation and Telecommunications Committee Monday afternoon. The bill, introduced by Sen. Mike Flood of Norfolk, would require the Department of Transportation to plan, design, and purchase right of ways to expand Highway 81 into four lanes from Norfolk to Yankton, S.D., and also Highway 20 to the Iowa border. Right now, the Department of Transportation has Highway 81 expansion on its radar but doesn't project any movement for a decade or more. In his remarks, Benton called the expressway system paramount to the success of Northeast Nebraska and was impressed that Highway 20 was included in the bill. "Providing four lane continuity . . . would greatly improve safety for daily commuter traffic, increase capacity for commercial and agricultural traffic, and boost opportunities for tourism and economic development in Randolph and Northeast Nebraska," Benton said. "As a city administrator I wear many hats but the largest one is recruiter - recruiting of people, families, as well as business and industry. Recruiting is the only way for small towns to survive let alone thrive." Transportation infrastructure is a huge factor for anyone considering making the move to Randolph, he said, and access to an expressway would complement the city's departure from its Flood Plain Designation. Another supporter, Kent Grisham, president of the Nebraska Trucking Association, also indicated gratitude The City of Norfolk is seeking proposals from qualified firms to pro-vide design, coordination and bidding services for two arterial streetscape/ landscape updates. Key components of this project are median landscaping including irrigation and trees where feasible, terrace restorations to es-tablish consistent terrace concepts throughout the corridors, enhancing the active transportation and mobil-ity systems for pedestrians, Ameri-cans with Disabilities, and multi-modal users.
