Locust Grove council OK’s Peeksville Road plan

A resolution approving and designating a further extension of Peeksville Road passed unanimously at the Locust Grove City Council’s April 3 regular meeting. Officials called the move “part of the process in property acquisition for the right-of-way for the new and important roadway link.”

A map included in the meeting agenda packet shows the proposed road going west from Hwy. 42, across a realigned Cleveland Street and extending to Frances Ward Drive and Cemetery Circle, with a roundabout installed where the three streets meet.

In other business, the council approved a resolution to create a streetlight district in the second phase of the Collinswood at Locust Grove Station subdivision.
