Planners OK Transportation Plan
If Warsaw wants to avail itself of federal transportation grants, it will have to develop a transportation plan. The plan commission took the next step in that process Monday, endorsing a plan completed by the Fort Wayne engineering firm Bonar & Associates. According to Ron Bonar, president, the executive summary of their study identifies six projects the city could pursue that would qualify for federal funding.The top priority project involves renovating a 10-square-block area surrounding the courthouse square. "The top priority, through discussions with the traffic commission, involves the downtown streetscape area," he said. The project has an estimated cost of approximately $3 million and would require $800,000 in local matching funds, Bonar said.
