Chillicothe — The plans to renovate Yoctangee Park and surrounding streets continue to move ahead, though with a later start than intended. Another part of those plans is being revised: rebuilding the intersection of Riverside and Mulberry street – and a council committee is discussing that tonight.
The ACGP (Appalachian Community Grant Program) plan for Yoctangee Park and neighboring streets was unveiled on May 1st, 2024 . A few open houses and several council and committee discussion have resulted, with some public pushback. The latest display of plans was on April 14th.
The original plan for this intersection showed a redirecting of lanes and reduction of pavement, presumably to control traffic flow for the increased safety stated as the reason for other street changes.
