WITH 20-16 WRAPPING UP,
CITY LEADERS ARE LOOKING
FORWARD TO A BUSY 20-17.
NUMEROUS PROJECTS ARE SLATED
TO BEGIN THROUGHOUT GREATER
LAFAYETTE.HERE'S NEWS 18'S
BRAD OPPENHEIM WITH SOME OF
THE THINGS YOU CAN EXPECT TO
SEE IN THE NEW YEAR.TAKE PKG
#@AS 2016 COMES TO A CLOSE,
2017 LOOKS TO BE PROMISING FOR
BOTH LAFAYETTE AND WEST
LAFAYETTE.ROSWARSKI: "WE
CONTINUE TO DO THINGS HERE IN
THE COMMUNITY THAT'S REALLY
NOT JUST ABOUT PROJECTS BUT
ABOUT PEOPLE. HOW DO WE DO
THOSE PROJECTS AND PUT THOSE
SYSTEMS IN PLACE THAT ALLOW
THE COMMUNITY TO CONTINUE TO
GROW?"DENNIS: "I THINK ONE OF
THE GREAT THINGS FOR 2017 THAT
WE'LL ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO
PHYSICALLY SEE, SOME OF THE
INVESTMENTS MADE IN OUR
COMMUNITY."WEST LAFAYETTE
MAYOR JOHN DENNIS SAYS ONE OF
THOSE INVESTMENTS INCLUDES THE
ONGOING STATE STREET PROJECT.
DENNIS: "WE SPENT YEARS DOING
PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS, WE DID
YEARS OF TRYING TO SHARE OUR
VISION WITH OUR COMMUNITY AND
GET THEIR INPUT."DENNIS: "WE
ARE AT A POINT NOW TO WHERE
INSTEAD OF HAVING PICTURES,
WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE
HAVING PHYSICAL CONSTRUCTION
GOING ON, WE'RE ACTUALLY
PHYSICALLY ABLE TO POINT AT
THE PROJECT AND SHOW THEM WHAT
WE'RE DOING."IN ADDITION TO
THE STATE STREET PROJECT, THE
CITY WILL INVEST MORE THAN A
MILLION DOLLARS IN
INFRASTRUCTURE.DENNIS: "WE'RE
DOING A COMPLETE STREETS
PROJECT. WHAT THAT MEANS IS
BASICALLY A COMMUNITY PROJECT
WHERE WE'RE JUST GOING TO
CONTINUE DOING CURBS,
SIDEWALKS AND RESURFACING IN
THE STREETS IN OUR
NEIGHBORHOODS."FOR THOSE WHO
ENJOY THE OUTDOORS, DENNIS
SAYS PLANS FOR MORE TRAILS
WILL BE UNDERWAY.DENNIS:
"PROBABLY ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT GOES SORT OF UNDER THE
RADAR IS THE CONTINUATION OF
THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR TRAIL
NETWORK. IN '17 YOU'LL BE
SEEING SOME ADDITIONS TO OUR
TRAIL NETWORK, WE'VE ALREADY
GOT 31 MILES OF PAVED TRAIL
NOW AND WE'LL BE EXTENDING
THAT." ON THE OTHER SIDE OF
THE WABASH, LAFAYETTE MAYOR
TONY ROSWARSKI SAYS THE FINAL
PHASE OF THE RESTORE SAGAMORE
PROJECT IS SET TO BEGIN EARLY
NEXT YEAR.ROSWARSKI: "WE'LL
BEGIN THAT MIDDLE SECTION THAT
STARTS THERE ABOUT HOME DEPOT
WHERE WE LEFT OFF ON THE
NORTHERN END UP TO ABOUT
NATIONAL DRIVE WHERE WE LEFT
ON THE SOUTH END, SO OBVIOUSLY
THAT'S THE LARGEST SECTION
IT'S THE MOST COMPLICATED."
COMING WITH A $60 MILLION
PRICETAG, ROSWARSKI SAYS TWO
MAJOR INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS
WILL ALSO BE ROLLING OUT.
ROSWARSKI: "THE BROWN STREET
SEWER EXTENSION WHICH IS A
GIANT PIPE THAT WILL RUN DOWN
BROWN STREET AND ACTUALLY TIE
INTO THE TUNNEL THAT WE MINED
UNDERNEATH DOWNTOWN SEVERAL
YEARS AGO, WE MINED A TUNNEL
UNDERNEATH DOWNTOWN SO WE'LL
BE TYING THAT INTO SOME OF THE
OTHER SYSTEMS THROUGHOUT THE
CITY OF LAFAYETTE AND THEN
DOWN BY LIEBOLT FIELD AS PART
OF OUR COMBINED SEWER OVERFLOW
TO STOP RAW SEWAGE FROM
FLOWING INTO THE RIVER WE'LL
BE PUTTING IN A GIANT
UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK."AS
FAR AS PUBLIC SAFETY,
ROSWARSKI SAYS THE CITY WILL
CONTINUE STEPPING UP ITS
EFFORTS TO FIGHT CRIME.
ROSWARSKI: "WE HAVE POSITIONS
CREATED WITHIN THE DRUG TASK
FORCE, WITHIN THE STREET
CRIMES UNIT, WITHIN CRIME
PREVENTION AND WE'RE IN THE
PROCESS OF FILLING ALL THOSE
POSITIONS AS YOU SAW WE HIRE
ON A VERY REGULAR BASIS, SO WE
THINK WE'RE DOING THE
NECESSARY THINGS FROM THE
ENFORCEMENT SIDE."FOR THE 2017
YEAR LOOKAHEAD, BRAD
