(KAIR)--The City of Effingham is seeking Atchison County's help with the fix-up of a city street.
That request was made this week by city Street Superintendent Jimmy Ellis, who told Commissioners 9th Street, a main travel route, is showing strong signs of wear and tear, with buses believed to be a key cause of the wear.
Ellis also explained the goal of widening the street, in order to allow two vehicles to pass safely.
Requesting the County's assistance with the project, Chairman Bill Pohl expressed interest in assisting if the City of Effingham is willing to pay for materials.
His fellow Commissioner, Jeff Schuele, said he would be willing to pay all costs, because the county gains sales tax through gas purchases.
Ellis will now explore the issue further with the Effingham City Council, relaying to that board the discussion he had with the County.
Meanwhile, according to the unofficial minutes of this week's County Commission meeting, County Road and Bridge Superintendent Seth Howard will work up proposals to see how much the project would cost.
