Spencer, IA (KICD)– The Spencer City Council approved a resolution on Monday that would allow the Iowa Department of Transportation to file grant application through the Highway Safety Improvement Program for the restriping project along Highway 71 in South Spencer.

Public Works Director Mark White told the council the overall project will look the same to the public when complete with the action taken only affecting where the money is coming from to pay for it.

No exact timeline was available on Monday as far as when the work could begin, but White does anticipate seeing at least a slight delay considering the original plan was to do the restriping in the next few weeks.
