Sidewalks like this one at Adams and Fifth streets are being seen in several areas of Decatur as Brooks Construction Co. begins the process of resurfacing a number of streets and alleys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Handicap ramps are updated to comply with federal regulations. Once that is completed, the Fort Wayne firm will begin milling (removing top layer) streets designated in the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resurfacing will follow, hopefully around Sept. 12, city Operations Manager Jeremy Gilbert said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project is the result of a state Community Crossings grant of $810,508.10, with the city providing a match of some $253,300, boosting total funds available for the work to over $1 million: $1,013,135.12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following are the streets to be repaved this year via the CC grant (more could be added):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Adams street from 3rd to 13th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) 5th from Monroe to 2nd<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) Waters Edge addition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4) Elm Street from Winchester to Grant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5) 7th St from Adams to Monroe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6) Meibers St. from 5th to the railroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

City funds will be used to repave two parking lots and one alley, plus two streets, to be done by Brooks (more could be added):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) City parking lot behind 2 Brothers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) Parking lot at Riverside Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) Fremont Lane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4) 5th St. from Adams to Monroe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5) Alley behind Legion park from Elm St to Stevenson St.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
