If youโve been wondering what all the noise and dust is about on East Oklahoma Street, itโs not a new rock band, just the sweet sound of progress!
Bright and early Thursday morning, August 7th, Buddy Daniel and his crew rolled up their sleeves and started tearing into the sidewalk in front of The Hive and Hann Plummer Accountants’ office. The work marks the start of a much-needed sidewalk makeover between Main and Cherokee.
This stretch of concrete has been a longtime problem for pedestrians, thanks to its uneven slopes, tricky elevation, and enough cracks to play hopscotch on. But not for long! The Hennessey Town Trustees recently gave the green light to replace the old sidewalk, creating a smoother, safer path from the corner of E. Oklahoma and Cherokee all the way to the alley behind Prairie Quilt. The new sidewalks will be ADA/Handicap accessible and be lowered to match the rest of the town’s walkways.ย Photo by AAH Jack Quirk
