(via YouTube)</figcaption></figure>BAR NUNN, Wyo. — The Town of Bar Nunn is moving forward with a pair of road improvement projects designed to bolster traffic safety and maintain local infrastructure with the installation of new speed tables to curb speeding on residential streets and a town-wide re-striping effort. Mayor Peter Boyer said the town is preparing to install speed tables on McMurry Boulevard and Tonkawa Trail in order to address concerns about vehicles traveling too fast down the roads. “They’re broad, long, straight streets, and people tend to forget that they’re driving pretty fast down them,” Boyer said, adding that an existing speed table on the east side of McMurry Boulevard has already proven effective at reducing speeds. The project is expected to enter the bidding process this week, with the Town Council likely to vote on a contractor at its Aug. 18 meeting. Boyer said he hopes to see construction begin in late August or early September and wrap up before the onset of winter. While the final cost depends on the number of tables the council ultimately chooses to install, estimates range from $30,000 for a limited number of tables to as much as $200,000 for a larger-scale project. “It’s hard to give a cost estimate, because the contractor will give us a list of options, pretty much, and then the council will decide how many speed tables they want to go with,” Boyer said. “But we’re not looking to put in a lot, so it’s not going to be crazy expensive.” Boyer said temporary road closures and detours may be necessary during construction, though that is not certain. Simultaneously, the town has launched a project to re-stripe every municipal road that has existing paint markings. The work is being handled entirely in-house by town maintenance staff using a paint striper the town purchased two years ago, Boyer said. The re-striping isn’t expected to cause any street closures, though Boyer said motorists should expect for traffic to be slowed while work is being performed. The striping project is expected to be completed within a couple weeks, he added. “I would just ask drivers to be patient while we’re doing our thing in the town and providing the basic infrastructure we’re supposed to,” he said. </div></body>
