The Council also voted, at the June 16the meeting, to sign the official agreement between the City and the Kansas Department of Transporation, for ARRA Stimulus Funds to rebuild the Hillside Street bridge.
The bridge, just west of TECT-Midwest on Hillside Street, has been slated for repairs for several years now, but has always been cut the funding during budget sessions. While the bridge is safe and adequate, it does not meet todays standards for bridge width, and does not have the necessary guard railings on its sides. The bridge crosses the Rock Island Slough in the northern section of Wellington.
The project is estimated to cost $310,000 which will be paid by a federal stimulus grant.
