Waterloo plans show a busy summer with nine miles of streets paved and about three miles of sewers awarded. Water works trustees will add water mains and new cement sidewalks while a street railway franchise could trigger several miles of new tracks and a bridge across Black Hawk creek. Bryant Asphalt Paving intends to begin as soon as weather allows, with sewer work scheduled to avoid delaying paving.
