According to Mayor Jason Akers, this is in the area of Conley and Pauline Streets. Street and drainage crews have worked to open up clogged and overgrown sections of Godfrey Creek that were causing water to get over roadways during heavy rains.
In this section, crews removed countless railroad crossties and other debris and restored the ditch’s depth and width to a proper level to ensure that water flows properly. The ditch will be lined with repurposed concrete to slow or prevent future erosion of the ditch banks
