FRANKLIN — City council members are expected to hold their first discussions on a just-developed city master plan at a special meeting tonight.
Council will meet at 6 p.m. in the Franklin City Building.
The master plan, presented last month, shows several new residential neighborhoods, a rejiggered city boundary and yet-to-be-built roads. The report also predicts the city's population will jump 2,000, to 13,500 by 2020.
The plan looks 20 years down the road.
“It's going to establish where they're going to go,” said Franklin Mayor James Mears. “You've laid a plan out, and it's got a lot of great ideas with it. It lays out a road map for the future.”
In the plan:
• Second Street, Dixie Highway south of downtown and Riley Boulevard downtown would be widened.
• A new bridge over the Great Miami River at Pennyroyal Road and Fairview Drive is shown.
• The city would like an interchange built at Interstate 75 and Manchester Road.
• A new road would connect Lower Springboro and McLean roads.
• William C. Good Boulevard would be extended to Scholl Road.
• Linwood Road would be extended to Manchester Road.
Several council members, planning commission members and city staffers developed the plan. It was a year in the making and cost about $30,000.
