The Independence Public Works Department updates the City Commission on various projects.

 

 At last night's city commissioner meeting, City Engineer John Garris told commissioners that Public Works has had a busy couple of weeks. Garris says the Bartlett Water Line Project, also known as The Big Straw, is ready to enter the second phase.

 

Garris says city crews have also been busy with road repair and, very soon, replacing the flashing red lights downtown

 

Garris says the current stoplights will be removed and replaced by four-way stop signs before Neewollah.

 

In other business, commissioners also approved the demolition of unsafe structures on south 15^th street.
