Central Avenue brick street revival deemed too costly
Public Service Director Richard Goecke said restoring Central Avenue as a brick street would be prohibitively expensive. City engineers estimate 265000 dollars to rebuild brick surface, sidewalks, and landscaping versus 150000 for asphalt resurfacing with new sidewalks and landscaping. The project will be funded with 130000 dollars from Community Development block grants.
