County Board Approves Wall Street Bridge Petition
Jackson County Board of Supervisors approved a petition for county participation in a Wall Street Bridge near Wall and Park streets in Carbondale. The plan calls for a $50,000 bridge with the county and Carbondale Township funding half each, and involves a detailed study by the road and bridge committee. The action also covers a new Vaupel Heights subdivision south of Carbondale and a federal aid road project near Little Grassy Lake linking to Williamson County, with a 32 percent county share estimated at about $10,000 plus $3,500 for right of way and related costs. An engineering agreement for the road section was approved with a 5 percent contract fee, not to exceed $1,650.
