Monett voters will be able to vote on a potential roundabout at the corner of Broadway and Central Avenue.
According to an Ozarks First report, it is part of the Central Avenue Improvement project, an idea that’s been in the works for nearly a decade, which takes Central Avenue (Highway 37) between Broadway and Cleveland Street and expands the road width, new sidewalks and curbs, plus new utility work with storm drains, and includes the roundabout.
The roundabout has sparked controversy, which has led to a petition and special election to determine the fate of the roundabout.
Officials with the city of Monett said while the election is solely about the roundabout if it is not approved, that sets the project back to square one.
More details can be found on the Ozarks First Website.
