The plan to extend Pat Station Road roughly three-fourths of a mile from Old West Point Road to the intersection of North Montgomery Street, Rockhill Road and Garrard Road was met with interest and some concern Monday during a public hearing at the Starkville Sportsplex.
The first phase of the project, estimated to cost $1.3 million, would see the construction of two 12-foot-wide vehicle lanes, curbs and gutters, and an 8-foot-wide concrete multi-use path on the north side of the road. The second phase could potentially include the construction of wider, four-lane boulevards at the intersections of Pat Station Road and Old West Point Road, and at the intersection of Pat Station Road and North Montgomery, Rockhill and Garrard roads. City officials also eventually hope to build a multi-use path on the south side of the road.
Resident Mary Bell was concerned because the construction of boulevards during the second phase of the project would mean work crews potentially could tear up newly paved roadway to realign the two intersections.
