The city's official project notice says the Hickory Street reconstruction runs from Lincoln Street to Hayes Street. Earlier city project information says the work also includes rebuilding about 250 feet of Hayes Street west of Hickory, along with drainage, curb-and-gutter, and utility improvements.
The McPherson City Commission approved the original Prairie Landworks contract on July 7 for an amount not to exceed $1,001,465.92, according to the city's commission meeting archive and project notice. Construction was expected to begin in mid-August. The city held a final public information session on July 28 to discuss the timeline, scope, and temporary access limitations. The Hickory Street reconstruction is a remaining commitment under the city's first half-cent sales tax for street improvements.
