Sidewalk repairs and construction, as well as street improvements, were topics that dominated the Sturgis City Commission meeting Wednesday.
Sidewalk repair
Barry Cox, engineer for the city of Sturgis City, provided information about the projects during public hearings set up for each, as well as discussion with the city commission.
The city’s engineering department is launching sidewalk repair and new special- assessment districts for Vinewood Avenue and East Congress Street, in accordance with the public sidewalk construction policy, approved by the city commission in 2011.
For the special assessment districts being proposed, a letter was sent to each property owner listed in the preliminary assessment roll, notifying them of the public hearing date and estimated assessment cost.
