City debates redrawing limits north of East Dakota Street
The Common contemplates disconnecting territory north of East Dakota Street and the Penn road from the city to end of paving on East Dakota. A new concrete road to Peru may reach the limits soon while city revenue from that corridor remains small. The council asks for property owner consent to sever the district and also weighs including areas north of Wet Dakota Street along Strong Avenue and Ladd Road, potentially leaving Hicks Park outside city bounds.
