Lincoln City Council Contracts Out Hollybrook Cemetery Landscaping Services
The Lincoln City Council approved a contract with Bean Brothers Landscaping for landscaping and lawn maintenance services at Hollybrook Cemetery. This decision comes as the city seeks to contract out services due to budget considerations and the upcoming retirement of a full-time cemetery employee. The contract includes 26 scheduled visits, mowing, string trimming, edging, debris removal, and winter maintenance, at an annual cost of $44,980.
Lincoln Approves Rail Trail Stairway Mural Project
The Lincoln City Council approved a mural project for the Rail Trail stairway in the 200 block, connecting East Main Street to the rail trail. The project, proposed by the Rail Trail Advisory Committee, will involve painting the risers of the stairs, the north-facing wall, and the interior walls of the tunnel. Artist Kinsey Baxter was selected, and the project is funded by an $18,000 grant from the Tourism Development Authority (LTDA). The mural is expected to last five to seven years.
Lincoln City Council Approves Chick-fil-A Site Plan Amendment and Rezoning
The Lincoln City Council considered a request to rezone a property at 1904 East Main Street from planned business conditional use to planned business conditional district. The applicant, Chick-fil-A, sought to amend its site plan to restructure the parking lot for a dual-lane drive-through and add an adjacent vacant lot to manage impervious area calculations. The plan includes reducing the number of parking spaces from 52 to 48, adding two pull-through spaces, and changing some parking spaces to angled. The council also approved conditions including reworking landscaping and ensuring proper drainage. The planning board unanimously recommended approval.
Lincoln City Council Approves Speed Limit Reduction on Lithian Road, Requests State Action
The Lincoln City Council approved a resolution to reduce the speed limit on Lithian Road from the bridge to Victor Grove Church Road from 45 mph to 35 mph. This section of Lithian Road is maintained by the city. The council also requested that the state Department of Transportation (DOT) reduce the speed limit on their maintained section of Lithian Road (from the bridge to East Main) from 45 mph to 35 mph. The speed reduction is driven by increased traffic, golfer crossings, and higher traffic volumes from the industrial area.
