Questions continue regarding 700 S road project.
This is a EDA (federal grant) project. The flags posted
are to identify sites for soil borings to take place before
road reconstruction can take place. Efforts are being
made to make this stretch of road a safer place for bike
and buggy traffic. The project is being advertised for
bids during January, with bids scheduled to be awarded
late February for reconstruction during 2011.
This project like other Federal funded projects has

The Topeka Police Department reports the
following activity for the month of December 2010:
had some surprises (on paper rather than physical)
providing correct information for review. Now with a
little more patience by the public during construction,
after completion, I’m sure we can all be glad with the
final results. Doing some of these projects reminds me
of a time when I was snow skiing at Bessemer, Michigan.
At the top of the mountain, what seemed quite simple,
when I came to a fork on the trail. One ski went to the
left and the other to the right, landing me head on
into a 24” tree. I believe my face and other body parts
may have left an indent in the tree. However I survived,
went back and hit the same trail only turning left with
both skis and finished the course in fine shape. So it is,
doing municipal or personal projects “Keep on doing
until it is done right.”
2011 plans call for continued improvement of the
South Main Street water main from Mill Street to Pine
Street. The old 6” water line needs to be replaced and
upgraded. Several streets are also scheduled to be paved.
Valentine Day is the special event during February.
Time for a little romance aside from every day work.
“If grass can grow through cement, love can find you
every time.”
