Widening of English Street Moves Ahead Underway
Work on widening English street progresses rapidly with contract time set at sixty days. Crews clear right of way, remove trees, relocate poles and extend utilities while moving store fronts back from the street. curb and gutter work continues from Phillips Street eastward, with grading near completion and new surface paving soon. The city plans resurfacing between Phillips and West Point avenues to align with existing tracks, providing a straight run to the highway. Local labor via the National Reemployment service is employed on the project. Negotiations with property owners for east end acquisitions remain ongoing, with hope for resolution in days.
