6 issues in roads with medium priority
Vacating the hard-to-maintain alley off George Street
The city is starting the process to abandon a paved alley off George Street — it now goes to the Plan Commission, with a public hearing November 9.
Hwy H construction update
The Sheridan Springs/CTH H utility project is wrapping up, with concrete and paving this week and a final $238,940 progress payment approved. County and city contractors handle different pieces of the concrete work, which has caused some confusion about who to call.
2026 Street Program expansion
The council approved the third payment to Asphalt Contractors for this year's street resurfacing — routine but it's your road dollars at work.
Cook Street LRIP Grant Agreement
The state will chip in $30,624.24 toward rebuilding Cook Street between Main and Geneva Streets under the Local Roads Improvement Program.
Cook Street Alley paving and stormwater
Leftover bond money is finally paving the long-delayed Cook Street alley after Labor Day — a project engineered and bid earlier but cut for budget.
Highway 50 black signal poles
The council added $60,000 to the Highway 50 project so downtown signal poles will be black rather than silver — an aesthetic upgrade on a roughly $13 million road project.
