Glenwood City Council Approves Repaving Project For Coolidge Street


The Glenwood City Council has approved funds for the resurfacing of this stretch of Coolidge Street between Locust and Walnut .

There’s some good news for motorists who travel on that treacherous stretch of Coolidge Street south of the Glenwood Fire Station.

The Glenwood City Council approved a resurfacing project for the street at the council’s regular meeting Jan. 24.

Jake Zimmerer, a representative of Eagle Engineering, the city’s contracted engineering firm, said the project will consist of resurfacing Coolidge Street, from Locust Street on the west to Walnut Street on the east, and some storm sewer work heading south toward Tyson Street.

Following a public hearing on the project, in which no written or oral comments were voiced, Zimmerer opened three sealed bids from contractors interested in doing the project. The project was awarded to the lowest bidder, Council Bluffs-based Carley Construction, for $232,848.

The street is currently a brick surface. The project will involve replacing the bricks with concrete. The bricks will be removed and saved for repairs to other brick streets in the future.
