The Knox City Council this week approved a motion to use $4000 from Riverboat revenue to put in a handicap ramp on the west side of the courthouse. The committee planned to use funds out of the 50/50 sidewalkfund, but work that had been done in front of city hall and expenses as part of the city’s leaf pick-up had drained the sidewalk repair fund.
If the sidewalk in front of your Knox residence or business needs repaired, you could have half of it paid for by the City of Knox.
Knox Mayor Rick Chambers is now taking applications for the 50/50 residential/business sidewalk replacement program. Your request will be evaluated by the Street Superintendent and he will approve or disapprove the application. A bid will be requested for the work to be done and after the bid is awarded, you will be notified of the cost and you must pay for your half of the cost before construction begins.
