The City of Sheridan has taken ownership of 5th Street from Main Street to the I-90 Interchange. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.

A maintenance agreement between the City of Sheridan and the Wyoming Department of Transportation was executed in 2019 that stipulated that WYDOT would be responsible for designing and installing a traffic signal and ADA crossings at the intersection of 5th Street and Sheridan Avenue. In exchange, the City agreed to take ownership of 5th Street from Main Street to the I-90 Interchange, and the City would maintain the roadway, signal, and crossings at no cost to WYDOT.

The following is a brief exchange between City Councilman Andy Patceg and Public Works Director Hanns Mercer that took place at a previous City Council study session.
