• The removal of signals at State Highway 14 and Tiffany/Majestic in Nixa;

• Resurfacing U.S. Highway 60/413 between Republic and Scenic Avenue; and

• Resurfacing State Highway 744 between U.S. 65 and State Highway OO.

The amendments are available for review on the third floor of the Busch Municipal Building, 840 Boonville Ave. Comments may be submitted in writing to the OTO, PO Box 8368, 840 Boonville, Springfield, MO 65801; e-mailed to sedwards@ci.springfield.mo.us; or faxed to (417) 864-1881.
