SIDEWALKS: Chuck
is working with Iowa Health (301 East Hillcrest) to install a 10’ wide sidewalk/trail
on North Jefferson on the west side of their property. There are three other
properties along the corridor in between Wal-Mart and Iowa Health that
currently do not have sidewalks; Glascock Floors, Circle B and Destiny Church.
To be consistent the city ordinance requires these sidewalks/trails to be
installed. Due to the 10’width trail requirement vs a 4’ sidewalk the city will
pay the difference.
