NVdaily.com reports that Front Royal town mayor and council are commited to completing a project along Happy Creek Road, which has been due improvements for some time now. In addition to appreciating the completion of the project, residents are also excited about the opportunity to participate in a revenue-sharing program with VDOT which could accelerate the project. Hopefully construction will begin in 2010 and be completed in 2011.

"Mayor Eugene R. Tewalt told the Town Council during Monday's meeting that one of his goals for his first term was to see improvements to Happy Creek Road completed.

While the project probably won't be completed before his two-year term expires in June, the Town Council voted unanimously on Monday to participate in a revenue-sharing program with the Virginia Department of Transportation that will get the project started.

The panel voted to approve the allocation of $532,000 in funds to complete the project, which includes $50,000 to construct a sidewalk on the south side of Sixth Street near the bridge to Happy Creek Road."
