Delay Halts Paving Work on West Lincoln Highway
Delays and divided tenant views stall paving from Kilbuckee bridge to city limits along West Lincoln Highway. City officials and residents debate concrete versus brick surfaces. a petition from West Lincoln homeowners largely supports a new concrete plan. Construction of a short section from First Street to the bridge will begin soon using a patented brick-like surface, potentially guiding future paving including Gurler Pearl and Harsh streets to improve Lincoln Highway access.
