Granite Shoals to vote on street bonds in November, wait on paving today

Article Image Alt Text

Expect delays around eight Granite Shoals city streets Wednesday and Thursday, Aug. 24-25. The annual paving program, a stopgap of seal-coating is underway. If citizens vote yes to a bond issue in November, main arteries are to be brought to a Ranch to Market Road 1431 standard.

The Granite Shoals City Council on Monday, Aug. 15, changed course on a decision and now will give voters a chance in November to approve a $3 million bond issue for the restoration of the most heavily-traveled portions of its three main arteries.

To secure a potential U.S. Department of Agriculture grant for 55 percent of the cost, citizen financial support would be critical and complete restoration of the streets would almost certainly exceed $6 million.
