Phase 3 of Decatur’s improvement plans for the 13th<\/sup> St. corridor are coming into sharper focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Operations Manager Jeremy Gilbert told city council at its latest meeting that Phase 3 includes signalization and handicap improvements at the intersection of S. 13th <\/sup>St. and Winchester St. Extended, known to many locals as Reidenbach’s Corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that, he opened quotes for the work from four companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phase 4, Gilbert said, is likely to get going \u201cin the next several months.\u201d That will involve extending sidewalks from around Ace Hardware south to the intersection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city’s redevelopment commission is overseeing the project and providing a key portion of the funding. The commission earlier hired Miller Land Surveying of Monroe to determine what would be needed in the way of handicap ramps at the Winchester intersection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phase 2 brought major signalization improvements and new sidewalks to the area of S. 13th<\/sup> and Bollman streets, near Richards restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The quotes for Phase 3 were varied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brooks Construction, for instance, bid $212,231 for the entire project, including pavement markings, while Milestone Contractors bid $109,412.77, but that did not include a signalization upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Shambaugh & Sons and Michiana Construction both bid on just signalization improvement. Shambaugh’s quote was $59,879.51 while Michiana’s $56,745.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the bids were taken under advisement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traffic, both vehicle and pedestrian, has picked up considerably in that area in recent years due to the nearby Walmart and an increased population residing in numerous apartments in the area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
