(KNZA)--Concerns were voiced at this week’s Hiawatha City Commission meeting about the condition of a street in the Indian Hills Subdivision.
Linda and Art Jimeson live in the 400 block of Mohave Street. Linda Jimeson said the street is in poor condition and is a safety concern. She said the street is a "total embarrassment” and lowers the property value of their homes. She told the Commission she and her husband have been waiting 19 years for the street to be dealt with and think they have been patient long enough.
Jimeson presented the Commission with pictures showing the condition of the street, which she says is filled with potholes and has rebar showing in places.
Also in attendance at the meeting were others who live along the street.
Mayor Steffen Shamburg says he agrees the street is in bad shape and needs to be addressed. However, Shamburg says the problem is funding. He says the city only has around $40,000 set aside to work on a street in the Indian Hills Subdivision this year, and that won’t fix any street in its entirety.
Shamburg and his fellow Commissioners agreed to look into options for fixing the street.
