SUMMARY: Hattisburg is exploring improvements for two busy roadways: Tatum Park and North Main Street. During a City Council meeting, members approved contracting with a local engineering firm for a conceptual study on future road designs. For Tatum Park, plans include adding turning lanes and access points to improve traffic flow, especially during events. For North Main Street, the city aims to develop a master plan, considering its role as a gateway to downtown. The study will involve significant community engagement to gather input and create a cost estimate. An official timeline for these projects has yet to be determined.

In Tuesday night’s meeting, council members voted to approve a plan that would allow the city to study what roadways could look like and a future price tag.
