Dixie River Road
This 2004 Transportation Bond Project will relocate a portion of Dixie River Road at the Steele Creeke and Shopton Road intersection.
What's happened? City staff is working with Kimley-Horn & Associates to plan and design the improvements. The team has currently developed four alternatives. (see the public involvement process below for details)
What's next? The planning and design phase continues. A final design will be selected this winter. Then right of way and property acquisition can begin.

Details from the Planning & Design stage and its public involvement process:
City staff is working with Kimley-Horn & Associates, Inc. to plan and design the improvements to the intersection. These plans are based on safety, cost, benefits, traffic analysis and an extensive public involvement process that allows citizens and nearby businesses to provide input at public meetings. The public input will assist E&PM and Kimley-Horn to make recommendations. So far, the project team has developed four alternatives which were presented at the 2nd public meeting, held on November 17 at the Masonic Lodge.

- Concept 1: Four leg intersection
- Concept 2A: Future Dixie River Road runs between the church and the Steele Creek Masonic Temple, while Shopton Road West is diverted south of the existing intersection.
- Concept 2B: Future Dixie River Road runs on the other side of the Masonic Temple (just north of the existing intersection) and Shopton Road West tees into Steele Creek Road at or close to its present location.
- Concept 2C: Future Dixie River Road is located exactly where it is in option 2B and Shopton Road West is diverted south of the existing intersection, precisely as it is in Option 2A.
