The City of Indianola has released information regarding the maintenance of the new sidewalks on the square as part of the Downtown Square Reconstruction Project. Interim City Manager Charlie Dissell tells KNIA News city crews have noticed a few business owners are using salt to clear the sidewalks, and new concrete can take up to one year to fully “Dry Out”, so chemical salt is easily absorbed into the pores of the concrete and can allow water to be trapped which may cause cracking and spalling. A flier has been released regarding the proper care of the sidewalks for business owners and employees this winter.
