Some trees will need to be removed during the East 5th Street project 

The City of Sheridan will be making safety, visualization, and landscaping enhancements to the East 5th Street Corridor between Broadway Street and the I-90 Interchange. 

While appearing on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse program, Sheridan Mayor Rich Bridger and Public Works Director Hanns Mercer told listeners the goal of this project is to improve pedestrian safety and mobility through the corridor while creating a welcoming environment. 

Bridger also told listeners that some of the old trees that line the corridor have had to be removed, but each removal has a reason behind it. 

Mercer said improvements will include new sidewalk, decorative lighting, trees, and landscaping that coincides with the city’s long term plans. 

The East 5th Street Corridor Project Phase I is another project being completed in partnership with the Wyoming Department of Transportation.
