Temple Street Extension Opens

On Wednesday, December 22, 2005, cameras were on hand from all local news organizations to record the opening of the extension of Temple Street by Mason Mayor Robin Naeyaert and the City Council. The road on the city's east side runs from Ash Street on the north to Kipp Road on the south.

This road also aids further development of that section of town. Dennis and Jeff Anderson have already started work on a series of planned developments on the east side. Evergreen Woods senior condominiums are on the north side of the extension's intersection with Ash.

This new road also eliminates the problems caused by many years of use of a county-owned parking lot access road on the east side of the Ingham County Fairgrounds to go from Ash to Kipp. This access road is now gated and closed to trough traffic. Fair traffic will now also have access from the new Temple Street extension.
