The City of West Fargo would like to remind residents of upcoming deadlines to submit public input.
Sheyenne Street urbanization project input
The comment period for the downtown Sheyenne Street urbanization project is open until Wednesday, Feb. 6, 2019. Residents can provide feedback on proposed street improvements to Sheyenne Street from Main Avenue to Eighth Avenue W. This street project is a major element in the revitalization of downtown West Fargo and has a goal of creating a vibrant downtown space that encourages walking, events and enhance economic development in the area.
The initial, proposed design calls for narrowing the existing road width, increasing sidewalk widths, slowing traffic, reducing crossing distance at intersections, easing pedestrian and motorists’ safety concerns and improving lighting. The proposed project implements elements of the City of West Fargo’s Downtown Framework Study, new comprehensive plan and Downtown Sheyenne Street Corridor Study.
To comment, residents can visit http://westfargond.gov/858/Downtown-Sheyenne-Street-Urban-Reconstru and review the project materials and then fill out the online form.

The City of West Fargo has published the presentation and survey utilized at the Community Forums on Special Assessments at http://westfargond.gov/267/Special-Assessments for those who were unable to attend one of the events.
