Curb repairs under way

Preliminary work preparing both sides of Main St. between Cedar St. and Roosevelt St. for milling and overlay as part of a state grant has begun.

City employees removed asphalt along the south curb in front of TC’s What Not Shop this week. Public works supervisor Marty Fredrickson expects the area will be refilled by Friday. Water hydrants were flushed Tuesday, so workers must wait for extracted area to dry.

Then the north side of the block will get the same treatment, a job Fredrickson expects will be finished by the end of next week.

Main St. from Locust to Eisenhower will be milled and overlaid. Work is being done along that block because weakened asphalt is damaging curbs.

“Main St. will look really nice again,” Fredrickson said.
