Industrial park street may be rebuilt

Bottom line

Commissioners are being asked to approve a bid of $164,297 to rebuild Timberedge Road north of Lakeview Drive.

Background

The road is a key street in a Lawrence industrial park. The street primarily serves Reuter Organ Company and adjacent warehouses. The street has broken down over the years because the road was built with no base and has significant amounts of heavy truck traffic.
