Council Okays the Extension Of South Main Street
The city council narrowly approved a two lane extension of South Main Street, rejecting a four lane plan. Mayor Cravey broke the tie, with dissenting members favoring four lanes. The project includes drainage work, a ditch, and future plans for a twin 24 foot roadway with a 12 foot esplanade. Sewers along Highway 146 and Middleton Road were approved, with future sewer service study for Fisher Hill and an easement potential along a county road. Oct 10 hearing set for curbs and gutters on Schilling Street. Woodlawn Lift Station pump accepted pending two year warranty.
