Holts Summit approves street overlays

Seven streets in Holts Summit are scheduled to have asphalt overlays later this month.

The Holts Summit Board of Aldermen Monday night approved an ordinance authorizing the solicitation of bids on the seven projects at an estimated cost of $40,000 to $50,000.

Holts Summit City Administrator Brian Crane said the streets scheduled for asphalt overlays later this month are Park Place, Countryside Terrace, Jefferson Road, East Simon Boulevard, North Greenway, Smith Street and Branch Road.

Crane said the bid specifications require the overlay work to be completed by the end of this month.

Improvements also are coming to Holts Summit's Greenway Park. The board had been asked a few weeks ago to allow a group of disc golf enthusiasts to allow them to provide labor to construct a disc golf course in the park.

"Much of the large park is now undeveloped timber. This would enhance the usage of the park," Crane said.
