Claypool To Install Storm Drains
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
CLAYPOOL - The town is preparing to install storm drains and spoke to Stuart Savka of Triad Associates Inc. regarding the project at Monday's town council meeting.
The engineer outlined the work to be done, saying a basic plan must be completed and submitted to the Indiana Department of Environmental management for approval.
The Conrail railroad crossings at Church, Railroad and Walnut street crossings are permanently closed now and lights and gates have been installed at the Section and Clay street crossings. An access road is installed from Church Street to CR 200W.
The Harrison Street crossing also will be closed; however, railroad and emergency services personnel may use it in need.
The closings and improvements were part of a 1999 contract with the railroad company.
Initially Conrail also agreed to demolish buildings on the old grainery site, work which has not been done.
The Indiana Department of Transportation wants "stop bars" - wide white strips painted on the streets before the crossings and some trees cut for better visibility.
In other business, the council:
• Approved Phend and Brown for paving of Graceland and Church streets.
• Heard leaf pickup will be Tuesdays and Fridays.
• Set Halloween trick or treat hours as 6 to 7:30 p.m. Oct. 31.
Town council members are Don Miller, Niki Lincoln and Don Nehrer. [[In-content Ad]]
