TEXARKANA -- Officials unveiled a plan for potential improvements to State Line Avenue.
Members of MTG Engineers and Surveyors and Norris Design gave presentations at five different stations at a public meeting Tuesday evening at the Texarkana Arkansas Convention Center. Community members moved around the room to learn about areas of State Line Avenue that could be changed.
Questionnaires were handed out at the end of each session where participants could highlight their biggest concerns and make comments.
The first station, manned by MTG Project Manager Vance Liles, presented an overview of State Line Avenue's attributes, uniqueness and deficiencies.
Liles said that in order to maximize the avenue's potential, safety, accessibility and aesthetic needs to be improved. He said the Departments of Transportation for Texas and Arkansas have scheduled funding for the reconstruction of State Line Avenue with a project planned for 2023, and the input people give at this meeting could affect what is reconstructed.
