The City of Johnston has hired HR Green to provide design services to stabilize the Newgate Drive drainage channel. This drainage channel is located on outlots owned by the Green Meadows North Homeowners Association, and runs along the south side of Newgate Drive from approximately Romford Court to Hampton Court. At the meeting on Wednesday, Aug. 23, residents will have the opportunity to provide formal input, look at exhibits, speak with the project team, and hear a short presentation.

The City of Johnston is beginning the construction phase of the NW Beaver Drive Improvements from Merle Hay Road to the North City Limits. The project construction will first involve reclamation of the pavement and placement of new pavement from south of Theresa Drive to the North City Limits. Project activities also include widening to provide shoulders, drainage improvements and utility adjustments. Weather permitting, fall construction activities are scheduled to be completed in November of 2017. If you have questions, please contact Matt Greiner, Public Works Director at 515.278.0822 or mgreiner@cityofjohnston.com.
