While work on the north and south alley and parking lots on the downtown Indianola square may be nearing completion, with the work done ahead of schedule the city may begin preliminary work on the west alley and parking lot, which was originally scheduled for next summer. Community and Economic Development Director Charlie Dissell tells KNIA News the city and contractors may try to get ahead of next year’s construction.

“We are a little bit ahead of schedule than what we thought, there is an opportunity to get some of the underground utility work done before we get to the winter months. We possibly may get started on that pretty soon, just to try and stay ahead of schedule for next year.”

Dissell said there will be no areas closed over the winter, even if further construction begins this fall.
