City May Pay for H Avenue NE Paving
Objections emerged at a city council hearing over seven paving projects in the year’s program. Most worry came from H Avenue NE paving from the Illinois Central tracks to Center Point Road with 27 signatures seeking full city funding. The council plans to fund the projects in full, avoiding assessments to property owners, while also addressing objections to paving the alley between Fifteenth and Sixteenth Avenues SW. The council is set to act next week after staff noted 61 percent support for the SW alley paving.
