City works board funds street safety projects and widening work
Street projects received a $5,943.40 appropriation to repair crossings south of 14th Street along Central Avenue Main Meridian Jackson and Brown streets. After talks with Conrail, the city plans federal funding, with local funds available in 30 to 60 days for spring work. An extra $2,853.11 matching share was needed for the Eighth Street widening between Arrow and Raible. Total project cost rises to about $234,531.14. Meanwhile a cut off between Central Avenue and Main Street south of 31st Street is to reopen, with Main Street two way from 29th to 31st to speed traffic toward Pay Less Supermarket. Pay Less helped fund Main Street improvements amid sales declines after the May overhaul. Police investigations continue after a break-in at an office, with cabinets damaged and valuables missing.
