Lawsuit Seeks to Block Asphalt Paving In Second Indiana City Street Deal
In Indianapolis a remonstrance attempts to halt the Board of Public Works from awarding a contract for paving State and Washington Avenues with asphalt. The suit, filed by George W. Seibert, targets the Michigan Street asphalt project and reflects a broader clash between asphalt interests and wooden block firms. The remonstrance faced hurdles after judges rejected a portion of the challenge, while asphalt backers press for the modern Bitulithic method amid competition and political maneuvering in city contracts.
