The South K Street Pavement Reconstruction Project is now substantially complete, with the City of Indianola announcing approximately 6,000 feet of gravel road converted to asphalt.
The project, which began in August, involved multiple redesigns and a review of the assessments for local homeowners and City Manager Ben Reeves tells KNIA News the project overall changed significantly from the initial planning stages, but that is the outcome of a great public discourse.
“This has been a great project for the city when it comes to listening to the public and trying to move forward in such a way that we are addressing the public’s needs. So the city has already gone through a process that scales the project back to a rural collector standard which is going to save a lot of money but it required that we redesign the project over the winter months. We went through a new assessment process, which of course lowered the assessments on the property owners affected.”
