CUMBERLAND — The Cumberland Community Improvement District spent much of its Thursday meeting allocating money to beautify the area.
The board, which is chaired by Tad Leithead, talked about spending an extra $1.5 to $5 million on the diverging diamond interchange at Windy Hill Road over Interstate 75. Peter Drey, a representative of Montreal-based DE Design and Environment Consultancy, presented bridgescape plans for the bridge running over I-75.
The CID paid the company $85,000 to plan the intersection.
The proposed interchange would switch lanes to opposite sides of the road without stopping, alleviating the need for a left-turn signal for motorists entering the interstate. After the interchange, lanes return to their original sides of the road.
