City committee will again discuss Short Street

The City of Decorah's Streets Committee will again take up the issue of the reconstruction of Short Street.

A meeting of the committee has been scheduled for Monday, December 19th, at 6:15 p.m. in the Decorah Public Library.

City council members have unanimously approved a Preliminary Resolution for the project.  The move is largely a procedural one, setting in motion the necessity of doing the street project, but not specifying particulars.

City council members have asked City Engineer Lindsay Erdman to also draw up a proposal for a two-lane street.  Neighboring property owners along Short Street have opposed a proposal to widen the street to three lanes.
