(KAIR)--A forthcoming makeover of the 800 block of Atchison's Commercial Street, as funded through grant monies, will impact traffic into the 700 block, due to necessary sewer line replacement work.

City of Atchison Director of Public Works, Justin Pregont, says the unexpected scope of the project is the reason behind the upcoming lack of access for motorists.

He says a shuttle service will be put in place for use by those who can't make the walk from nearby parking lots to those businesses where parking is impossible.

To hear Pregont explain the workings of the shuttle service, go here.

The City of Atchison has also made an exception to policy pertaining to advertising individual businesses on the City's social media pages, Instead, based on the expected financial impact to businesses in the 700 block of Commercial, the City has, through for-pay sponsored content, begun to feature ads on its Facebook page, as well as for free on its Twitter feed.

According to Interim City Manager/City Finance Director Becky Berger, the price tag for the Facebook advertisements is expected to total around $500.
