Other recent projects in the West 1 lth corridor <br /> include overl sin 1996 from Franklin Boulevard to Pearl Street and from Tyinn to Beltline, a <br /> 1 X93 recons ction between Garfield and Tyinn, and current work to add capacity on West 11th <br /> between Beltl e and Willow Creek Road. <br /> An av rage of almost 14,000 vehicles per day travel the section of West 11th between <br /> Charnelton an Polk. Pavement evaluations indicate that an overlay now will preserve this <br /> section of Wet 11th and avert the need for more costly reconstruction in the future. <br /> Most the estimated $535,000 cost of the overlay project will be paid from the City's <br /> road fund, wh ch is primarily supported by revenues from the state gasoline tax, plus a relatively <br /> sn7a11 amount om the City's stormwater fund. <br /> <br />
