These streets are made for walking and downtown Sullivan is getting new sidewalks to make it easier.
At the April 27 meeting, Sullivan City Council approved a $114,539.48 bid from Esker and Walker Construction to replace the Harrison Street sidewalk to Madison.
The Teutopolis based company has completed the Jefferson Street sidewalk and was the only bidder for the Harrison street sidewalk replacement.
Street commissioner Peggy Hargis explained companies inquired, but the low bid from Esker on Jefferson sidewalk kept them from submitting proposals. That project was originally $101,107.50.
Commissioners Hargis, Chuck Woodworth, Abbey Sherwood and Mike Fowler, participating by telephone, voted for the bid along with Mayor Richard Glazebrook who directed the meeting from the Elizabeth Titus Library.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
