The town of Jackson’s Complete Streets Program took another step toward completion Monday when the Town Council approved a street-and-sidewalk plan for the stretch of Rancher Street in East Jackson from Broadway to Hansen Avenue. The council approved Alternative 2 of three proposed alternatives for the Rancher project, and also chose Option 2 of four presented for the intersection of Pearl and Rancher. Assistant Public Works Director Johnny Ziem has presented and discussed the alternatives with the council over several meetings, including Monday afternoon’s workshop, fielding questions from councilors each step of the way about various aspects of the project. Ziem and town Community Engagement Specialist Susan Scarlata spent a good deal of time in recent months gathering, compiling and assessing public opinion about desires for the project, particularly from residents of the Rancher Street corridor.
