Transportation goals the city included are the following:

• Preserving Norman, South Douglas, and Douglas Streets, along with Cottage and Pioneer Avenues.
• Improving the sidewalks and crosswalks on Olive Street
• Resurfacing the Prospect Street roadway
• Reconstructing Evergreen, Rank, and Kennedy Roads
• Improving West Pleasant Avenue, Fisher Street, and Mill Road
• Lastly, building a roundabout for the Sunset, Division, and Railroad intersection

Proposed design plans for the Sunset Highway project should begin on Jan. 1, 2023 with construction starting the following summer.
