The project would narrow Markham Street to three lanes for several blocks heading west of the intersection with Kavanaugh Boulevard and add sidewalks to either side of the street.
The project is one of 15 that Metroplan announced funding for this week. In total, $16.5 million will be doled out for Central Arkansas transportation.
Homeowners along West Markham Street think recent gas line excavation may have damged trees lining Markham severaly enough to cause them to fall. The gas utility is taking a look.
