Hiawatha tweaks Emmons Street sidewalk plan
The Hiawatha City Council changed its sidewalk plan on Emmons Street east of I 380 avoiding the north side due to safety concerns from slope and truck activity. The revised route would have a short north side segment near the overpass, then cross to the south side with IDOT approval pursued. The panel also awarded a 16968.35 contract to E and F Cement for street work and planned the 12th Avenue sewer project for summer completion.
