Wow how rumors get a-flyin!
This from Ray Slattery,
DC Engineer:
"With the stormwater drainage system now in place, the bed for five new lanes of Wyatt Earp between 2nd and 14th Avenues will start to take shape after the Thanksgiving holday.
Dobson Brothers Construction Company will be mobilizing equipment beginning November 27 and is expected to start work on the sub-grade (dirt work) Novermber 28. Placement of the base material is scheduled to begin later in the week."
The statement later says..."Work on the sub-grade has been delayed due to the contractor and the City negotiating an alternate base material proposed by the contractor. The negotiations have centered on what would be the most beneficial for the businesses and citizens of Dodge City."
This was dated November 16 and was sen to all area media. Updates can be found on he city website -
