Jennie Barker Road project moving along
County road projects are moving along.
Roger Calkins, Finney County Public Works director, gave an update on two road improvement projects at Monday s regular Finney County Commission meeting.
The two road projects are Jennie Barker Road and Farmland Road.
Calkins said the biggest update on Jennie Barker is that traffic has been set loose on the southbound lane. (The contractors) got a lot done, they ll be going in to finish up curb, guttering, entrances and whatnot before they do the main line on the other side, which would be the northbound lane, he said. Recent rains showed us areas where we had some erosion issues, so we went from the grass to the blankets, we installed blankets in those areas, mainly around some culvert ends and things like that.

Unauthorized dumping has been occurring in Towns Riverview South, and the Finney County Commission discussed the dumping at its regular meeting Tuesday.
No action was taken on the issue, other than agreement to look into solving the problem.
Roger Calkins, Finney County Public Works director, said the location of the dumping has been involved in the countywide spring and fall cleanup events.
During the cleanup events, citizens can dump their trash at designated locations throughout the county and then county workers haul the trash away, Calkins said. After the last fall cleanup event, people have continued to dump at the site throughout the year.
