The Bingen City Council is contracting with an engineering firm to develop options for dealing with stormwater and traffic issues on some streets, in particular Jefferson Street.  Mayor Betty Barnes says they are dealing with two problems:  people taking shortcuts from main streets and going too fast through neighborhoods, and stormwater runoff going on to private property.  Barnes says the stormwater project is the top priority, adding they hope the solutions provided for Jefferson Street can be applied to other streets as well.
