Court approves alley closure, Farmers Market street closure and curb-cut permits for utilities
Summary
The court approved a permanent alley closure adjacent to Hometown Health Solutions with removable bollards, authorized a temporary Fourth Street closure for a Farmers Market water connection, and approved permits for utility work including Nipsco and a fiber installation on Main Street.
The Logansport Court of Public Works and Safety approved a permanent closure of a narrow alley beside Hometown Health Solutions (the alley will be secured with removable bollards to allow future utility access) and granted a temporary closure of Fourth Street from Market to Melbourne Avenue to allow a waterline connection for the Farmers Market.
Chad of the street department summarized the alley request, saying Steinberger requested permanent closure and staff discussed installing bollards that could be removed for utility access. A motion to approve the alley closure passed without recorded objection.
Chad also presented the Farmers Market water connection request; the board approved closing Fourth Street from Market to Melbourne Avenue for the waterline work. A board member noted the closure spans the stretch “from Market to the Little Turtle archway,” and members approved the request with no substantive public objections recorded.
The board approved curb/street-cut applications for Nipsco at 112 North Yorktown Road, where staff said a bore under the street will avoid a surface cut, and for StarTac/StarTech fiber at 915 East Main Street (a series of horizontal bores under Main Street plus a short parallel run to connect service). Staff explained the StarTech work will bore under Main Street and run approximately 20 feet parallel to the bore to provide new Internet service. Both permits were approved.
Staff said the permitted Nipsco work will install a gas service with no aboveground street disruption expected because the company will bore under the roadway. For the Farmers Market waterline, staff did not provide a construction calendar at the meeting; the board approved the closure request and directed staff to coordinate detours and notices.
Board members voted individually on these items; there were no recorded objections during the approvals.
